I haven't tried this myself, but I've read a bit and I don't think 
anybody has been successful in making that work.

If you don't want the w800, a CM15 would work too and it could be a 
backup for whatever powerline transmitter you have now. And someday in 
the not too distant future you'll be able to use it to control ninja 
camera mounts too.

The door sensors are very nice, and MUCH more reliable than the dusk 
sensor hacked on the motion sensors. once you start using them, you'll 
think of all sorts of things you can do with them. I have a LOT 
installed around here, and several more scheduled to go in soon ;)

try the security stuff, you'll like it :)
