Not sure if I'm interested in this or not. Like the idea of power monitoring, but don't know if I need/want to shut off a breaker with an app.   https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2019/2/19/18231753/leviton-smart-load-center-app-control-circuit-breakers-ios-android    

Sorry if this is a repost, but didn't see it in the search.   Looks like Lowes is killing their Iris platform.  Not very familiar with it, but I had seen their large sections of HA equipment prominently displayed at the front of their stores.  I'm very anti-cloud, so this won't affect me.  Seen...

Saw this pop up on Slickdeals today for $100.  Looks like a customizable USB keypad for launching apps.  If you could hook into the commands, it might make a decent tableside controller (if you have a PC nearby).  ...

I've recently noticed that my PS3 is causing noise problems which are keeping me from being able to control a lamp module. The PS3 and the lamp are in the same room and I'm pretty sure they are on the same circuit. I can have the PS3 plugged in but whenever it's on, it generates enough noise...

I have an SA US240 in a pedestal box and it died. It was working fine and I unplugged it to move it and when I plugged it back in, nothing. I did drop it about a foot or so onto the carpet after I unplugged it, but I hope it's not that sensitive. It won't come on at all, no LED, no commands...

Well, it looks like HS is just about dead. For those that don't know, they recently (a few months back) came out with their HSTouch product. A pre-release promotion was held at the end of November to save $100. Well, weeks and now months have gone by and the product is still in an extremely...

A couple of weeks ago my M1 started randomly speaking my Zone2 status which is "Zone 2 Garage [Open|Closed]" At first I thought it was due to being a windy day blowing against the garage door, but it kept doing it. Initially it was happening every few minutes but I cycled power on the system...

If anyone is interested, I found a site with some free collections of WAV files which are applicable to the HA environment. Many of the words/phrases are similar to those in the ELK, but these could be used on the PC side in Homeseer, etc. Get 'em in the "download" section from here gk

I recently noticed an issue with my SA USR1130 dimmers (actually HAL branded, IIRC). I have the top rocker set to set the dim to a fixed value, i.e. 30%. If I press the top rocker, the light comes on at 30% and if I dim it a bit and hit the top rocker it will brighten back to the 30%. Now if...

I'm not familiar with the Freewire stuff, but it's a nice price that might fill some people's needs. # Includes two weather-resistant outdoor modules that are X10 compatible # Control up to 16 modules with the included RF remote # Use your existing X10 controllers to operate these Freewire...
