Lurlette,

I bought most of my stuff from Automated Outlet. I'm using Simply automated switches. You can talk to them about what you need for that 3 way set up. I have a couple of 3 way and 1 4 way. I can't remember what switches I had to use.

First your going to need 1 of these. For the computer interface. http://www.automatedoutlet.com/Home/...les/SA-UMCDB9W

Then you need what ever switches you want to use.

This part is probably the most expensive thing that you do with HAL.

Tim,

I forgot about you posting that awhile back. Didn't you have a deal on some switches also ?

TimShriver · 11-03-2009, 06:37 AM

Sorry, we've sold out of the switches. (UPB Blister packed retail switches)

Oops...

HAL2000 v4 Voice Portal Kit $589.00

Control your home by voice and save money doing it! The HAL2000 Voice Portal Kit gives you the power to control your home control system by voice from any phone anywhere in the world -- even in your own home.

Not sure what your point in this post was? Did you have a question?

Maybe I am misreading this somehow... It looks like an old price was left in a sub-context of the new revision 4 price.

It's not a big deal, I was just following your UPB link last night and came across it.
