Hmm, I'll make some more calls.  Anyone have a successful dispatch using alarmrelay or nextalarm in Montgomery county?   What I've been told:   1) You can setup monitoring with anyone 2) You can register your own alarm system with the county   However, the dispatch center will not dispatch...

I'm looking for a good monitoring company for an Elk M1 system in Montgomery County, MD.  DIY options like NextAlarm/AlarmRelay won't work, their stations aren't permitted by the county.   I need a local company to handle support and monitoring.   I'm not trying to be cheap, typical rates in the...

Hey all, I'm building a zwave application that requires high reliability. Are there any lists of z-wave devices that have interoperability/compliance/spec problems? I'm primarily interested in reliability of value changes and status updates. What is the best source for evaluating potential...

Yes, the pro version supports multiple controllers. It has only been tested on 1 system(that I know of), so your feedback is appreciated. You can email me at the support link on iTunes too. By the time I get your email I will likely have some more promo codes. Please make sure the lite app...

I also want to mention that I am working on a few different features and could use some input as to what is desired. I started this project because there was nothing else out there and I am very interested in what items are the most useful to people. If you want it, and can test it, I can...

LlamaPanel 1.0 is now available in the iTunes app store. Features and sceenshots below. There are 2 versions, a pro and a lite. The lite is free and has basic keypad functions. I have a few promo codes for the pro version left, PM me for one. If you want any features or have any feedback...

I created an app, called LlamaPanel, that controls your Russound system from an iPod Touch or iPhone. A new product, LlamaPanel Pro is coming this week and will support metadata from the iPod bridge. The current version works well, but was more of a beta. You can find more details here...

Depending on the app store rush(due to the iPad), I'll have this ready in about 2 weeks. Below is the planned roadmap. I've gotten some requests about supporting other hardware platforms, and I am open to the idea, but will need revenue to offset the cost of the hardware(I don't really need...

1 will be in the next version of Llamapanel Lite and Llamapanel 2 is in the newest version of Llamapanel Lite and Llamapanel. 3 is in the newest version of Llamapanel, simply name a zone "skip" to remove it from the view. Source skipping will be implemented in the next version. The next...

I have received a lot of requests to create a version that has limited email support for setup so I have split the product into 2: 1) Llamapanel - a paid version with limited email support. FREE to Cocooners who PM me for a promo code. 2) Llamapanel Lite - a free version that handles most...

The issue with mobile devices is connection reliability. The network signal can die, the device can go to sleep, or packets can just get dropped somewhere in never-wherever-land. There is no reason to open and close sockets repeatedly. Since this app is a hobby it was built in a scattered...

Hehe, patience ... I'm working on a ton of subviews for different functions(like tuner presets, party mode, all on/off, etc), but it will take some time. I'll have a beta ready in a few days. First I've got to work on the TCP connections bit, opening/closing sockets like crazy is killing a lot...

I figured the best way to do a beta was via the AppStore. Send me a PM with your email to be on future betas.

In theory the app should work with any IP interface, but it has very limited testing. Let me know what your experience is and I will try to make it work. Some of the cheaper IP bridges do not handle the protocol well which can lead to lots of dropped connections and delays. If it works with a...

You will need some way to connect your amplifier to the network that the iPhone/iPod touch connects to. An IP->RS232 adapter is great, but I'm open to other ideas too. I've tested it with the ELK-IP232 and it generally works, although there are some quirks with connection delays that I haven't...
