This got me thinking. Most of the setups discussed here and on the homeseer website use wireless tech such as Z-wave or rfxcom to communicate presence, motion detection, the opening of doors, pushing of switches etc. to homeseer. This makes sense in a situation where any cabling would be installed later, but in our recent remodeling I installed 50mm ducts in walls and ceilings to almost everyplace where I might conceivably run a cable. I prefer hardwired solutions to wireless any day, because I expect them to be more reliable and less costly. To get to the point: I'm looking for an i/o board that works with Homeseer, so that traditional motion sensors and such can be hardwired to the server closet where homeseer lives. Preferably with USB so I don't have to kludge a USB-serial converter in, most low-power systems don't have com-ports nowadays. I'm not too comfortable with a soldering iron or learning a new programming language at this stage.
So far I've found the Digibee which works with Jon00's plugin, and this pricey interface from Homeseer:

Any suggestions?
