Well its in, the 560 + remote .. my gf was going crazy, because over time she really liked it. Especially the fact you can schedule it now. Now i would like the webcam on it aswell.. but the makro cam was not that great, anyway need to check that out.. since i'am noob at those things (unlike wifi)

Still not ordered mine :-( but soon!
Do you have the IR remote also, so you can control it with the pronto and IRlan as well?
How are you planning to connect it to your HA system?

you can also use a normal remote, you can get the ir signals from remotecentral, you can then use that with irtrans from homeseer to connect it all. Still have a proper irtrans on my whishlist, together with the ESS audio and wiseplugins..
