Not sure if anyone else has this, but I got mine as a trial for 6 weeks.

So far, so good. Got it to buzz me when the postman came, and have my lights coming on when I walk into a room

PS. If anyone wants to help me out with some market research, please could you fill out this brief survey:

Yeah I had a look. In typical home automation fashion, the prices are artificially high at the moment. Does it work well? What do you use it for?
