We had a storm today and after a lightening strike, my shop overhead door closed. I thought this really odd (and in fact unsafe - given other devices i have on relays) and i'm pretty sure i'd never seen elk activate relay like that before on startup. My wife called a few minutes later to note...

I searched this forum for this and didn't see anything recent... My sprinklers came on yesterday morning which was a day early (they're programmed for W) which i found odd. When i checked the keypad, sure enough the date said Nov 10th instead of Nov 9th. I have not been in program mode for...

I didn't see any posts on this - is anyone else thinking that the ipad would potentially be a better portable touch solution (and/or remote control) than windows platforms like the Q1? my platform is J9AE, but i think that's irrelevant... regardless of the HA platform, i think this could be a...

So i installed the PE NG (and pro for the 7000 unit) software for pronto from remotecentral. I downloaded some config pcf files as well for some devices i want. But i don't see how to pull the codes? When i open the cff and open the ui for my device, the IR code radio button is selected with a...

Herdfan had raised this long ago, but my big (and really only) frustration with vizia has been the limit that a device can only be linked to five controllers. I have toyed with the idea of taking the 4 zone/scene controllers apart and wiring the buttons to elk zones for additional control at...

John's J9AE... finally!!! (after 3 years of being indecisive, trying everything from CQC to Main Lobby to Girder and beyond and spending the last 2 years not thinking about it at all but on other projects like woodworking) Some of you might remember my struggles (and others like Ranger...

i'm getting read to buy a couple of Samsung Q1s as remotes and need to get the IR side ready... Right now i have two xantech zones driving my A/V via standard remotes. I also already have a global cache (the "18" version with 6 IR jacks) but currently using for serial only... Anyone have...

Spanky, i had mentioned this in our email thread (12/07-1/08) when we were beta testing, but is there any way you guys would add both of the following to the ViziaRF version of the serial driver? (what if i said "pretty please" ? what if i told you my mom lives down the road from you guys...

I remember reading a similar post, but my attempts to search for it haven't proven fruitful... I've had elk integrated to vizia for years... I am not sue exactly when two way stopped working, but it has. I've rebooted the elk, the rzcop to no avail. Elk is on latest firmware/etc (using elk...

So i goofed and misplaced the wart for my GC-100-18 when i shipped it for upgrade... Can anybody help me with markings on the wart and/or pin polarity & voltage i need ( i have several lying around ) from the GC site, i know it's 12VDV: "12 to 85V DC@500mA (wall power adapter included)" but...

Well sitting here knowing that i am headed to bed, freezing temps aren't coming for another 4 hours has me thinking i need to get back to automating the pool and after two years of thinking i'm still trying to avoid the cost of the pentair / jandy automation solutions. Here's my plan (all...

First of all huge thx to Harleydude for the new elk plugin... this is a huge improvement from when i first started looking... i have two questions: 1) i understand the setup on the girder side, but obviously i would like entry to be more dynamic for netremote / touchscreen access. I.e. i want...

I installed think essentials with my existing network and went to look at signal strength. In some cases, devices all but a few devices are listed as direct neighbors to the rzcop. In the remote, there is an association listed between the two devices. Most of the time commands issues through...

I have two IR zones and have had both working for some time: 1) Family Room (HT) + Downstairs (WH audio): Niles CS100 (ceiling receiver) + Niles MVC100IR Volume Controls (5) + Xantech 791-44 Connecting Block 2) Master Bedroom: Niles CS100 (ceiling IR receiver) + Xantech 791-44...

I have one node that seems rather tempermental with Elk control.... I've got front porch on Node 24, it's timed along with others. And rarely does it come on when scheduled (the others always do). I can try to use the m1exp browser and click the on/off button or slide up and down and like...

Spanky/Don, any feedback / luck reproducing on the issues johnny9 and i have reported from our testing? thx -brad

I thought i'd find a bunch of commentary on this here, but my searches didn't reveal a whole lot.. I have a Direct TV dish on my roof from the prior owner, but went cable as we've always used it. But pricewise, i'm paying upwards of 150 a month for cable & internet. I could pay 45 for...

So i've got a ton of viziarf dimmers installed. Except for the minor noise and previously noted hickups on the scene controllers and the m1 integrations, they work fine... I have one i installed in my garage for the lights flanking my garage door on the exterior. Soon after, i bought new...

I'm just curious why i can't go 1/8" out of here right into my xantech (as i do in the xantech output into the IR jack on my receiver).. Are the infared emitters provided with my GC different as well? http://www.globalcache.com/products/ir-receivers.html thx in advance -brad

Probably a bit behind other forums / deciated sites, but: http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/01/03/wireles...f.ap/index.html For ahwat its worth, I've currently got 2 HDMI and 1 COMP and 1 COAX to both my HD sets. I'm thinking about MCELinux and ethernet based distrution. But this could be...
