For me, the benefit far outweighed any of the challenges that I had to overcome in setting up HAL 2000.

HAL 2000 is a considerable expense. As far as home automation goes it is relatively inexpensive. For the do-it-yourself people it is great. However, if you're looking for something that is easy to set up you may find it a bit over your head.
