Seamless integration with all other subsystems and logic,
such as, i have a security system, in two clicks i can
have it turn on a path of the lights when i disarm the
security system after dark. Or i have it so if my motion
trips in my master after 1:00 in the morning it turns
my bathroom light on for 5 minutes. No code to write.
Goodnight on the lighting keypad arms the security and
turns off all the audio and video in the house
One, I take issue with your use of the word "seamless" when applied to, and I quote, "all other subsystems". You would still need to write scripts or drivers to control those devices with which EI has no previous agreement. In other words, if I add RFID to a clients home, there will still need to be "custom" programming involved. Second, logic is not exclusive to EI. Virtually ALL HA systems can do all that you used as examples and much, much, much, much, much, much more.
