I too, am a satisified Ocelot user (also bought from Worthington). I don't have the SECU-16, as I'm not quite sure of what else it would bring to the table. I just recently started using the IR capability of the Ocelot, and was suprised at how easy it was to get the IR working with ECS. I bought a IR extension cable (http://www.smarthome.com/8186.html) to run from the basement to the family room (AV equipment). I had to cut the cable to get it through the floor, spliced it back up, and had no problems whatsoever. ECS can now control the TV and VCR. I just have to get the TVL stuff working right in order to utilize it. Applied Digital has released and are working on several "bobcats." The only place this info is available is on the CPU-XA mailing list, which you can sign up for at http://www.futurestandard.com/mailinglists.htm . The following is from one of the techs at App Dig, dated May 3rd. My question is do you need the SECU-16 for the temperature or humidity bobcats? -=A.J. Temperature and humidity Bobcats are in production. Delivery to distributors in three weeks. The other family members will trickle out over the next 12 weeks. Other Bobcats include: Light Detector LED Monitor Moisture Detector 232 ,485, I-Button HAI Interface (other interfaces to follow, for lighting control & security) Contact Closure Analog Input (or switch input) New Modules (non-Bobcat) Video Switcher with Video Overlay (12 weeks) Speak-EZ (in production) ADNET HUB (16 weeks) Enhanced AC line interface (16 weeks) LCD-80 (16 weeks) There are others on the list. Bobcat data can be brought into the Ocelot, CPU-XA, or Leopard. The data can be displayed on the Leopard in real units (like degrees F, or % humidy). The data can be entered in a variable, or used in an IF statement. In other words, you can take action based on the temperature, or the humidity, or whatever the Bobcat is monitoring. A common application may be a remote monitoring system. If the temperature falls outside a preset range, send an alphanumeric page out the modem.
