    Any users of Aleph ALL-MY-100

    My new wonderful neighbors are crackheads who can't keep from stealing from people. I currently have an alarm system with motion sensors on the interior and motion sensors and a driveway sensor on the exterior. I also have cameras. The problem is that the exterior motion sensors are not...

    Need help on Nutone IMA-3303

    I just moved into my new home and it has a Partially functional Nutone IMA-3303. The details... First the system seems to have a bad potentiometer. The system will play radio but I have to wiggle the master volume knob to get audio to play at all and it still occasionally goes out. Not the...

    RS-232 wireless repeaters

    If you don't mind a wiring your own you could use two XBee modules. You can use the serial interface out of the box with little configuration and few IC's/resistors. They are fairly cheap (~$25 per node) and are very easy to use. How ironic would it be to connect to your Z-Wave Controller...

    Systems Integration Advise needed

    The GE Smartcom system integrates audio and intercom into a single keypad... I was testing/playing with it for a few minutes at a Parade of Homes showcase house before I was caught and it worked great. There is an interface to a "Smart commander hub" for control but I cannot find any...

    Grocery Inventory - For 'Shop at Home' Ordering

    This is all from memory...... (2 years) It's been a while since I had it working (my kitchen PC died) but at one point I used a barcode scanner to scan all grocery items coming and going into my house. I just used a script to enter barcode and search googles upc database and build a list of...

    Specialty pull through Cat5 modular plugs/crimper

    I remember seeing a product at Ehxpo that would allow you to pull the wires through the modular plug and the crimper would cut the wires at the end. I have around 100 cables to wire up and this would save me lots of time. Does anybody know the name of the product and/or where I can get it?

    Control4 Unveils 7-Inch Wall Mount Touch Screen

    I spoke with the sales rep at EHX and the price is significantly less for dealers - I think he said ~ $500.00. As for the zigbee protocol, Control4 is currently using a propietary Zigbee implementation but plans to become zigbee pro compliant by the end of the year. As a note - sales reps...

    EHX News?

    I quickly walked through the show this year and was quite disappointed. It was MOSTLY distributors and high end equipment. Things that caught my eye are: Leviton stated they will release the z-wave 3 speed fan controller early summer. Control4 said they are/will be Zigbee Pro compatible this...

    Pocket sliding doors and sensors

    I have a 3 panel sliding pocket patio door (glass). I initially wired up a magnetic surface mount switch which of course gets knocked off when I open the door. Are there any other methods/techniques for adding a sensor to the door. Wireless is ok - this is what I was thinking of using. I...

    Alarming Sliders and outside gates.

    Not to steal the question - just to add to it. As with the windows how would I install a sensor on a sliding door with three panels. The doors are also pocket doors.

    Which Vizia-RF switch for On/Off of Florescent?

    I am using that switch throughout my house. Leviton reccomends a minimumof a 15w cfl for these switches - there is a small volotage leak which will cause a flicker otherwise.

    Plenum cable for cold air return?

    Styrofoam cups - I remember the good old days (as a kid) when I painted the cup and watched it melt in the oven with the door open. Cough, cough. Plenum should be fine in the duct. Cough, cough.

    Cooper Aspire RF ad in CEPro

    In my house - the contractor installed all of the switched outlets upside down so when my wife or even I could not fiqure out why the outlet would not work, we would remember that it was switch controlled.

    VZF01-1LX (for real this time) & fan speed questions

    -brad Not sure. I seem to have normal problems with standard incadescents. It's my (supposedly) dimmable CFLs that buzz... but its the bulbs that buzz, not the switch. In my experience, it was the switch that buzzed. Leviton support informed me that it was a known issue. The lights also...

    Vizia-rf relay and CFL?

    I just installed a couple vizia rf relays and have a few questions about a few problems. 1. One of my relay's produced a fairly loud buzz. It was audible from at least 4 feet away (no cfls in this fixture). A replacement of the switch fixed this issue, but I was wondering if anybody had...
