As a system designer and installer the first thin I think about is point of failure. The more you 'integrate' the greater the reliance of one system on the other. Hence if one item fails then the whole system fails !
Make sure you keep security (comfort ) as security and lighting ( cbus) as lighting. When it comes to logic and 'remote control' then we tend to treat this as a seperate entity. What we see happening more and more is for the app controller to incorporate logic if the app controller fails ( it's a network enabled device ) the you loose control though your app - you still have a security system that you can arm and disarm and a light switch that puts a light on and off .

This does not answer your question - presumably you are happy to program in pascal ! I think all of the above posts reflect that it comes down to personal choice
