Is there any way to shut this beep the !@#$ off? I have searched this forum and find ways to disable the phone entirely or to change country codes etc. But I can't find a simple code to just shut the beep off. Was this too much to think about when designing the system? Due to the storms...

I am wanting to add a "dry contact" motion sensor to my lighting system to have the system turn on some lights. The lighting processor has 3 CCI's with one common and it states it needs "dry contact" closures. I hate to say, but I have no idea what this means. So what I need is some info on...

I did a search and didn't see it anywhere, so if it has been posted Sorry. Anyway it looks like Lutron and Leviton settled their lawsuit. Terms were not disclosed. http://resmagonline.com/articles/publish/article_2186.shtml

I found an ad for Cooper's AspireRF Z-wave products in the current issue of CEPro. I will post a scan of it later.

I am looking a setting up a few cameras around my house and I have a few questions that I have not been able to find answers to. At my wife's old job, they had a camera/monitor/VCR system. The VCR basically recorded the output from the TV monitor. The cameras were hooked directly into the...

As some of you may know, I am moving from Insteon to Lutron, but I still have a few devices left. One of them is an ICON Relay in my attic. It has the dreaded paddle press issue where it won't turn ON. OFF works fine, but ON doesn't. I am having some work done on my HVAC system and I have...

OK guys, here is the deal. I have many Insteon devices that I never got around to installing because I was going to make a change. That change is in process and I will be selling my inventory cheap. Caveat: I do not recommend buying any of this unless you are already an Insteon user and have...

If you have read my "Disapointed in ViziaRF" thread, then you know that I don't think I can make it work for me. And if you have read any of my posts on Insteon, then you know I think the products are not up to snuff quality wise. So where does that leave me? Well it may have led me to...

Maybe my expectations were too high, but is seems to me that there some limitations to Leviton's Vizia RF line that I may not be able to make in work for me. And that is disapointing as I was hoping it would allow me to move away from Insteon. ;) I am specifically referring to many of the...

First, my wife wants a keypad in the basement, so I need to run the wire to it. So am I better off: 1) Running a home run back to the panel, 2) Daisy chaining it to the other 2 keypads, or 3) Making all 3 keypads home runs? None is more work than the other as I need to replace the wire to the...

I have grown tired of the semi-monthly replacement of my Insteon switches and am hoping the Vizia RF will be a solution. But here are a couple of questions: 1) Am I correct that you can link any Z-Wave switch to any other Z-wave switch like you can with Insteon? 2) Will the 5-button Vizia...

IVB post this in another thread I found while doing a search and it is related to the question I was going to ask. We currently have an M1G with 2 keypads. One in the MBR and one by the garage door. We spend a lot of time in the basement and wife wife would like to be able to hear the chime...

In got around to reading the August Issue of Electronic House and in the article on home control they had a spearate box dedicated to lighting control systems. All the big hardwired systems were mentioned like Lutron, Litetouch, Centralite plus some of the wireless or powerline systems...

The installer got my new Elk M1 Gold working today with a couple of exceptions: 1. He can't get the Elk to dial the monitoring company. It just will not make the call. 2. When he tested the smoke alarm (4 smokes, 3 heats on one zone (#16)), he could not get the panel to reset via the...

I am looking at getting the Cortexa 7202 controller to use with my Insteon lighting system. I plan on adding an Elk M1 in the future and already have HAI Thermostats. Has anyone used this controller? I know it is relatively new on the market, but I know there are some early adopters here :D ...
