As a fairly recent convert to PH, I am trying to figure out the best way to integrate Motion Sensors. I have a UPB (only) based lighting system that is controlled by PH. I would like to add motion sensors around the home and have the PC decide which lights to activate. I have looked at the OCELOT and an SECU-16 but this looks like a $300 adder, Is there a better (less expensive) option? Seems a simple I/O module that PH can address would suffice?
Thanks

I use a W800rf32a and X10rf motion sensors(ms13a).
The range is really good with the antenna mounted in my attic. I use a Palm Pad outside to control Insteon switches and my pool equipment.
It's realitivly inexpensive and in my installation, quite reliable.

I second Brady's route as a good option.
