Thanks BraveSirRobbin. Using the Palm Pad remote is another option. I have a few of those. As for bypassing the internal Rain8 clock, I would keep the RAIN8 connected to the sprinkler setup 99% of the time by switching the common sprinkler controller wire to the RAIN8.

I searched the web but could not find an answer to my question. Perhaps someone could help me out with this one. I purchased a serial RAIN8net and expansion module. I have an existing Rainbird controller in my garage and would like to keep this connected as well so the sprinkler company can...

Mark S. I emailed Ray and promptly received this reply to having the ESS with existing volume controls: ******************* Sonny, Two possible problems. 1. ALL autotransformers load the amplifier more at low frequencies than higher. A typical 50 watt autotransformer will only pass 6-10...

That would be great jasv! Sonny

I think that would work as long as you set the volume controls to 1X if they have a multiplier jumper. This would simulate one pair at the usually 4-8 ohms. The only problem I think is that your volume may be reduced going through two volume controls. Please feel free to email Ray at...

After a lot of research of trying to find the best multi room audio distribution system I have come across a solution that works perfectly for my needs that I'd like to share with you. I looked at ABus as well as other solutions but did not like the costs and I wanted something that I could...

Thanks Dan, I will use the phone line for now.

I too am waiting for the Osborne-Hoffman receiver. I'm just about ready to signup. Is there any great advantage of getting the ABN or can I just use my plain old telephone line for now until the Osborne-Hoffman receiver is available?

The total length came to about 75 feet (was not a straight run). I used CAT5 and the same wiring as the data hub. It worked perfectly. Thanks.

Interesting thought politics123. I'm not sure how one would do this and make sure that it does not get demagnetized. I found this article: Making a permanent magnet however one comments after that they demagnetize easily. One would hate that to happen and set off the alarm. But nice idea...

Thanks for the comments. Sandpiper gets credit for this one in this thread a year ago: http://www.cocoontech.com/index.php?showtopic=4290 I only have had the setup running for a few months and I don't know how much abuse the plungers will take. I did buy another set just in case. Also, I...

Thanks, will give it a try this weekend and report back.

I have an ELK Slim keypad (ELK-M1KP2) and the ELK UltraProx Weigand Reader (ELK-106055) for proximity cards. I see that the maximum wire distance between these two units is ten feet. I would like to put the reader outdoors at the side garage door (non overhead) and keep the keypad behind the...

I set my system up with these a few months ago and it's working to my satisfaction (got the idea somewhere on this board). For each deadbolt I ordered one of these (i.e. window plunger sensor): GRI PBF2020WH 3/8" PUSH-BUTTON, ADJUSTABLE SCREW PLUNGER W/FLANGE, CLOSED LOOP, WHITE from here...
