So you have trialed, for instance, the Honeywell Tuxedo Touch system? http://homesecurity.honeywell.com/tuxedo_touch.html http://homesecurity.honeywell.com/tuxedo_touch.html Nest is doing piecemeal what others do holistically (again, though, obviously because they want to do the whole thing one module at a time). I don't want a bunch of islands of home intelligence, but would rather have one home automation system. Which is why I made the point about cost -- it's one thing if your price range is $8 smoke alarms, but if you could seriously contemplate 10 Nest devices, you're a candidate for a real system.
