New to Insteon, and while I'm interested in home automation my first need is for a basic home alarm system. I'm at square 1 with Insteon and just trying to decide if I can get my basic requirements met before investing and diving in. I want to install door/window sensors and if they're triggered, turn on a couple of AC outlets controlling serious lights and a siren. Emails, etc can come later. And I need a way for people to arm the system when leaving, without having to boot up my computer and run an app; i.e. I want a dedicated keypad or switch for that purpose. Someone checking my house while I'm traveling would not have my phone and shouldn't need to use an app to come and go.
​Can I do this with Insteon or should I keep looking? Thanks for anyone's patience in answering newbie questions.
