    Power supply - re-use DSC supply...?

    Hello all,   I have an ELK M1 system that i've been running for years. I installed it myself as a replacement for a DSC Power 832 that was here prior.   Today I finally sat down and did a power budget using Elk's spreadsheet and see it recommends a secondary power supply.   I still have the DSC...

    Openhab and other open source home automation packages

    I'm using openhab to play with. I'm enjoying it once I got over the initial learning curve. I have it communicating with elve as it doesn't have an elk driver either.

    Does anyone want to recommend a good electric water heater?

    I never replaced the anode in my tank in 8 years. I'm pretty sure when it corroded away my water started smelling better. Probably not the best way to have a long lasting hot water tank.

    Long distance wi-fi - UAP questions (split topic)

    I'm pretty similar to the scenario you described. I share Internet from my neighbor's house. The two structures are houses around 350 or so feet apart with a tree line in between. I like that base station idea as there is actually another house on the other side also sharing Internet. I...

    I don't really need serious bandwidth. I just want a stable connection between the two buildings. Any problems mounting those nanostations indoors?

    Long distance wi-fi - UAP questions (split topic)

    I don't think they have external antenna ability. The other thing I didn't really think through was how I would get the remote access point connected back to wired network at the remote building.

    Long distance wi-fi - UAP questions (split topic)

    Hey, i don't want to hijack this thread but i just bought 3 indoor Ubiquiti LR Access Points.
