+1 for Elk
I even installed one at my own house.? I don't really need an alarm system per se but it is a great way to define whether the home is occupied or not (armed away vs. armed stay or disarmed) along with an inexpensive way of integrating a wide range of sensors.

Lately, I've been hounding Crestron to add it to Home as a supported system.
I believe that it will be integrated with that soon.
We don't use Home very often, but it would be a nice addition.
Most of our projects are SIMPL, and the ELK systems work perfectly.
They can be integrated via Serial or IP and the protocol is identical for each (just need a TCP/IP client symbol).
Modules have been available for a long, long time.
It supports up to 208 zones, 8 partitions, 205 outputs (relay/voltage) and is easily programmed with their ELK RP software.
There's a really nice custom rules engine built into their software.
I've installed both Honeywell and ELK for many years, and the ELK is so much more "friendly" to install and program.
Also, if your replacing a Interlogix system with wireless, they have a 319.5MHz wireless receiver that is compatible with Interlogix sensors.
Probably the best thing about them is that you can get a human on the phone in no time should you ever have a question!
