Heya Skip - I hear you.

The only thing that peeves me off more than false triggers is the money the monitoring companies charge to send their cars and security guys to the house only to discover that a moth is your "intruder".

I agree that the product has to be pretty good to get any market at all. The one you mention in Radio Shack is probably by X-10. I reckon the product I distribute is like that one on steroids, has a ton of additional features already integrated into one single package, is stable, compatible with Windows, allows the home owner to monitor their own home and automate devices over the internet, and it actually works! Not the sort of thing you would necessarily go to Radio Shack to buy - but I am prepared to have a think about it.

I know it is a tough sell, Skipdawg, but that is why it sells here and in other parts of the world.

After spending a fortune on its development, and with about another 200k to go to develop again for the US market - it will be spectacular - I can't afford to go to market with a dud.

As always, Skip, I am interested to hear your views - you don't pull punches and I like that. Its interesting that you didn't ask the price. Let's just say that in a world where home automation and security can be bl**dy expensive, I am a big fan of being cost efective! Cheers and thanks! IanM
