In the short run, I want the ability to setup conditional macros with lights throughout the house. I'd like the ability to have some kind of web interface that I can use remotely, and I'd also prefer if possible, to use one of the plc controllers that store the information directly so that the pc is not required to be on 24/7, however this isn't a requirement.

In the long run, I would like to control the HVAC, outside low voltage lighting, irrigation, cameras and security. It would be really cool to control all of that through one interface. Our new home is pre-wired for a hard wired home security system, I'd also be interested to get some recommendations on what security systems people recommend. Again, I'd like to tie this into my x10 system.

Thanks!
