After having ADT out to the house. They figured it will cost almost 400$ just for 1 motion sensor and 4 door triggers. (Includes Cell phone device)
+ 45$ a month locked in for 3 YEARS for the monitoring I have decided to look around first before I make that decision.
Looking at X10 I could do all my windows as well, for the 130$ package price.
1 thing my wife wanted was notification in our bedroom if a sensor gets tripped, with the alarm either armed or disarmed. ADT provided this with an additional 199$ control panel :-\
I was curious about the software that you can add on. Can you somehow trigger a SMS\Email message to notify on the zone that was tripped?

If you get the ActiveHome Pro full plug-in package you'll be surprised at all that can be done!

Yes!
But you'll need a PC on 24/7 to do every thing.

I have numerous computers. I could even build a dedicated one for this specific purpose.

My Home Automation PC is an old P3 (recused from the trash) running XP.

Get prepared to save a lot of money! And if you ever decide to upgrade you can install or have a lot of systems installed and have it monitored for as little as 8 bucks a month with NO CONTRACTS!
