    Upgrade from HW Illumination to HW QS?

    I'm currently having a problem with my Homeworks Illumination system, and given the lack of support am wondering if I will eventually be forced to upgrade to HW QS. Several questions:

    1) Is there any way to import my existing HW programming into the HW QS system?
    2) Are any of my existing basement control panel "infrastructure" parts reusable or does the whole thing need to be scrapped?
    3) Are control pads reusable?
    4) Have they ever ported the HW computer program that lets me design the keypad/lighting system to Mac?

    Thanks.

    @Blair S. Thanks for your reply. I apologize for my poor question writing skills. Let me rephrase my #2 question which actually was two:
    2) Are any of my existing basement controls panel "infrastructure" parts reusable?
    Thanks.

    The answer is yes but you will need a Homeworks professional on site to identify which parts can be carried over and which parts need replaced.

    I'm in the process of converting a system that the processor died over to QS and like he mentioned above, yes, Keypads, contact closure input and output boards, QED shades and H48 devices can be used, however they require link translators and a software licenses to make them work. That's why you need a Homeworks professional to see what is on your system and determine if they can be carried over.
