I'm tight on spots in my circuit panel. In my last house, I had my UPB coupler on a dedicated breaker to connect both phases. In my new panel, can I connect it on an existing 2 phase breaker? I'm thinking yes...

So with all the remotes we have around our houses, what rechargeable batteries do you use? I've been using regular batteries forever, and it's time to kick the habit and switch.   I'd like a nice charger that can charge a bunch at a time.   Amazon has a battery line that has a lot of great...

Anyone learn about this product? I found them on Kickstart - they are looking to do a round of financing. http://www.wovyn.com/ Looks interesting - I would want to see them able to interface with Homeseer, but some of the folks here might want to look to work it into your project. GB

I'm beginning a project to archive my family's photographs. I would rather not upload them all to a photo sharing service such as Kodak/etc. and would like to upload them to a dedicated server - I would also like to have it set up to easily allow family members to upload their photos also. It...

Saw this at Brookstone. I'm pretty anti-stationary cameras inside the house, but to have a camera that could be controlled remotely when I need it would be cool. This operates using an iPad, and I'm not sure if you have to be inside the house to use it. I'm able to grab my Android phone and...

I have an Iomega network attached storage 1TB drive. The backup software that came with it is crashing all the time. Does anyone have a backup solution that they would recommend? I need to back up 3 laptops and a PC (mp3's, photos and docs). Thanks in advance, GB

For those of you that are using JRiver Media Center to control your multi-zone setups, I discovered Gizmo for the Android over the weekend. Very cool app - it allows you to control your music collection, playing music in specific zones as well and streaming to your Android device. I may be a...

I recently installed a TV in the bathroom. The TV is mounted about 5 feet from the shower and, while it's great for watching the news while shaving, I can't hear squat while I am in the shower with the water on. I'm thinking about installing speakers above the bathtub, but I am concerned about...

What can I do with this? Anyone using it to interface with Homeseer?

Need a quick and easy (and hopefully cheap) solution to wirelessly transmit audio from a PC to a stereo receiver. Need it for my parent's house and would rather not crawl around run wires. The PC is in one room and the receiver is in the next room over. Any thoughts before I begin a Google...

Here is my scenario: I have two PC's on my network that I want to access from outside. One is my Homeseer box and the other is my Media Center box. Obviously, access to HS is for automation things and access to my Media Center box is to use the application Remote Potato. Currently, my HS box...

Hey all: Over the years, I have amassed a significant amount of content across my home network. I am certain I have hundreds, if not thousands of duplicate files (i.e. photos, music and video files, etc.) across the drives on the various PCs on my network. Getting them all into one place will...

So I decided that 2011 would finally bring a server room with some sort of order. Thought I would post to show what 3 hours of your time can do to a mess like this: To this:

I have just begun searching for a waterproof remote control for my bathroom. I am planning on installing a 19 inch LCD and would like to be able to change channels from the tub while soaking. Any suggestions?

I just purchased a new PC and will be looking to make it the living room's media center. It has a HDTV tuner in it - I do not have an antenna in my house. Any suggestions? Mounting something in my attic would be preferred, as I don't want anything visible in the living room and I don't want to...

Just to be sure, a Delta 410 will replace numerous sound cards with one solution, correct? The output of the Delta would go to the various amps and JRiver Media Center via NetRemote could control the zones. I am looking to purchase one of these and want to clarify that before bidding. Thanks

I am searching around and can't seem to find this. I keep seeing how people send commands to Homeseer from NetRemote, but not vice-versa. I am looking to have Homeseer issue NetRemote commands to start playing music. I want to have Homeseer become my alarm clock and start playing music through...

Long time no visit - anyone check out one of these? They appear to run in the $350-$400 range. Maybe a nice portable interface?

Ok, here's one for ya... I have a Time Warner Scientific Atlanta DVR cable box, a stereo TV, and a mini surround sound system in my living room. The cable come from the wall, into the cable box and from there goes to the mini surround sound system via RCA jacks and to the TV via S-Video. There...

I just purchased an Audigy Sound card and included was a USB IR Receiver made by Creative. Can I use this with Girder, HS, etc? Jim
