Mark,

Congratulations on whipping the TV-Guide stuff!!!

I have a question regarding Object ECS version (current)...

1. Website says the RCS KPG8 keypads are supported via the RCS 485 Hub...
Do you mean the hub only or is the CS30 (or some such variant) required to
fully utilize the keypads?  (i.e., will Object ECS program the graphic
keypads or only use the "built in" functions, unless you've got the CS30,
etc...)

Reason I ask :  I've been seriously "in love" with those keypads ever since
I saw a buddy's house using them (only with the high end PHAST Landmark
system - can you say $20K for caller-id, whole house audio and security;  he
hadn't gotten around to ANY lighting yet!).

At less than $200/keypad, it might seriously be worth scrapping everything
I've got to change completely over (Napco Gemini panel, HAI-RC80 thermostat)

Thanks,
Bill
