    National Alarm Monitoring Companies for DIYers

    I used NextAlarm for many years, changed to Alarm Relay when NA closed up shop. Elk M1 with the XEP. No cellular. $15 / month. No complaints at all. The biggest difference I can see is no text alerts. I have managed to get the XEP to send email alerts, and using the Verizon [email protected]...

    Elk M1 Gmail problem

    Thread resurrection:   (TL/DR:  the M1XEP still works fine with Gmail.  Thanks to you guys for sharing your experiences.)   I just switched from Nextalarm to Alarm Relay in order to get Internet monitoring (turns out to be a good thing since Nextalarm is closing up shop, apparently).,  Alarm...

    M1XEP direct monitoring

    Just got set up with Alarm Relay via the M1XEP this AM.  Took about 30 minutes on the phone.   CQC is still very obviously communicating through the M1XEP without issues.   The only thing remaining is to get email and text notifications of arming / disarming events from Alarm Relay (and to get...

    M1XEP direct monitoring

      My understanding is that the only time the XEP is limited to one connection is when connected to the RP software.  Thus, your ISY and an IP-based monitoring service ought to be able to work concomitantly.   I intend to have a similar situation soon when I switch to Alarm Relay, since I already...

    Even with searching, I cannot find the for sale thread.

    Nuvo Music Port MPS4

    Appears the Windows desktop app is now working for me, as well.

    Nuvo Music Port MPS4

    I think it is very likely that upcoming iOS 11 will brick the iOS Musicport app.

    Nuvo Music Port MPS4

    The iOS app is still working. Neurorad - surely you are not giving up on the NuVo?!?

    Nuvo Music Port MPS4

    I tried to start it last night- did not work for me, either. I get the splash screen, then it tries briefly to connect, then disappears.

    QUATECH ThinkQ QSE-100D-BA 4 Port RS-232 Serial Server (CHEAP!)

    Sparkman1 - thanks very much.  I requested permission to see the folder in Google Drive.   We shall see if Win10 will allow this driver to work.   If not, I've got some backup plans.  Which also may be too old to work:   Moxa 8-port serial card C168H/PCI.  Has a wicked-looking octopus cable with...

    QUATECH ThinkQ QSE-100D-BA 4 Port RS-232 Serial Server (CHEAP!)

    Well.  This is an old thread.   But I've been using my Quatech ThinkQ (model QSE-100D-BA) for 7 years now, 24/7 without an issue.  (Actually 2 of them, and I've got another sitting on a shelf as an extra).   The Windows XP machine I was using as a CQC server, however, finally gave out.   I've...

    Nuvo Music Port MPS4

        Hate to hear that.  I'd also like to see a link to the news.  Legrand owns Nuvo now, I think.   We all have cat5e wired to our keypad locations and speaker wire to our speakers, so I assume there are multiple other options.  We'll just have to throw money at the problem.   I am on my 3rd...

    Nuvo Music Port MPS4

    Hit by lightning   For the second time in 5 years or so.  The MPS4 was hit, as well as the main amplifier (and I guess possibly the expander I8GX).   The question is-  should I spend the extra money for the MPS4-E (Elite)?  Best I can tell, the Elite adds ability to address network drives...

    Nuvo Music Port MPS4

    How did this end up?  Did you talk to their TS?

    Nuvo Music Port MPS4

    So I see in my config there is a firmware update available.  Anyone know what this update does?  I cannot find anything online that provides a version history.   -ac
