In case anyone is interested, I have 3 UPB new-in-box dimmers for sale in the classified section... price is somewhat negotiable.

Nothing that would be easy to get wiring to unfortunately.  The M1 will be sitting in a Leviton cabinet so should be somewhat shielded and I could maybe put some EMF blocking fabric on the inside of the cover?

I could put it in the same closet as the rest of my equipment (including the Elk) but I was under the impression that it really needed to be 10+ feet away to avoid interference with the Elk.  If that's an old-wives tale then I'll just go with that approach.

So I ended up going with the M1 again and will be installing it this weekend.  I went with the Honeywell wireless receiver instead of the Elk 2-way simply based on price and variety.  In our last house we ended up using the GE wireless interface and I didn't get antenna with the receiver for...

So we recently bought a new home, downsizing a bit to a 3000 sq. ft. ranch (with a loft/bedroom upstairs) after living in a much bigger house the last 10 years. When we moved into the old house I installed a M1 Gold system and used the Ion Micra-G wireless windows sensors which worked great...

  Mine after this happened is EXACTLY the same as grtaylors; 00:40:9D:43:35:97.  So that seems to match what Elk are saying.

Crap - mine just started doing this too.  Except I can't even get to the IP it's assigned to - the MAC address also ends in 97, but no matter what I do (rebooted the damn thing half a dozen times now) I can't get to it.  When I use the 'Find' utility in the M1XEP setup on the RP software...

I tried to PM you, but I guess you need a minimum # of posts before you can use the PM system. Let me know your e-mail address and I'll drop you a line.

If anyone is interested (not to hijack the thread), but I have two of these (Overhead Door Sensor) that need a home (I no longer need them)... $20 for the pair. Just PM me if you're interested.

One other thing you may run into (at least I did with a fairly new Chamberlain opener) is with the remotes. I have three buttons on mine, with two being used. However, no matter how I rigged this thing up wiring wires up in parallel to each button, I could never get BOTH openers to work at the...

Sorry to hear about your problems Digger. We had a "situation" this morning that has me buying the WSV as well today... not as bad as yours, but we had a leak from a valve underneath my bathroom sink that leaked down into the kitchen below causing a bit of a mess to the ceiling (though probably...

Hmmm - this does seem to indicate a signal issue and not an HDCP issue. Since the long run works without the MP switch, I'm guessing the MP switch degrades the signal (even slight degradation of HDMI would probably cause issues for a 75ft run). I was looking at that 3x4 switch on the Octava...

+1 on the HDCP issues. I had the Monoprice matrix for a short time but ended up ditching it for a more expensive HDMI matrix (Octava 4x4) which hasn't given me any real issues with my setup. A bit of a plug, but I'm really happy with Octava in general - I recently had some questions about...

Lou, I understand the principles around how a relay works etc., but being more of a visual person, would you mind sketching out a diagram of how you worked with the existing wireless remote in wiring it to the relay and explain a little bit about what relay to use etc.? For some reason...

To connect the GC-100 to a Xantech connecting block, I think you need the GC-CGX IR Converter Cable which allows you to connect an GC-100 output to Xantech equipment. I guess the two don't play nicely together without that piece of equipment. I did a quick search and you can get it from...
