I'm searching for a USB to RJ45 adapter. The length needed is under the 16' for USB so a passive device would work fine. Active ones are in the $100 range - and I'm think this should be a $15 item. I probably could make one, but that would likley cost me more in time than a simple adapter...

With CompUSA closing down the B&M business I swung by to take a peek today. They had 30% off "Security" - which turned out to be zWave devices, I think by Intermatic. That is based on a $40 light switch. Dunno if it's a good deal or not, but thought I'd share....

I like this little game..... http://www.handdrawngames.com/DesktopTD/Default.asp

Starting to get things together for Halloween this year. Main difference is I would love to have a flying ghost - like Electron's last year. My garage door opener stripped out it's gears this year so I have that motor and figured it would do the job. While I'm sure it's not supposed to...

I've been thinking about getting IP phone service such as Vonage for a long time. After a fair amount of reading I hear mostly good things about ViaTalk Today is their birthday and for the first 1000 people who buy a year of service, you'll get a 2nd year for free. That comes to $200 for...

I'm a little stumped here guys and I'm hoping one of you guru's can help me out. I received a few UPB devices this week (Thanks Martin!). The device in question is a U2-40 and a USR remote unit. Both with single rocker faces. I've had it in a hundred different configs, but dumbed it all down...

Well title and description about say it all. I have a W800 hooked to HS. When I send an L5 via a palm pad it hits the W800 plugin (free version), an event fires my.elk that hits a UPB lamp module via a serial expander and "One One ..." and I don't get to thousand - so under a second, but...

My wife and I have agreed to turn our small den into a game room. Space constraints are going to prevent a pool table (I refuse to have to use a shortie!) So, for right now we are considering a multifunction table of some sort. My requirement is it must have a GOOD foosball or bumperpool...

I was lucky enough to win one of these guys and here is my review of the MicroFlow 2000 automated Ceiling/Wall mount HVAC registers. Although I do not yet have this bad boy mounted in anywhere, I wanted to post what I found out in figuring out how it was going to work. Also wanted to get...

I have a rule set up, and it used to work but after this latest update it seems broke. As you can see, maybe, if user 2 or user 3 (Kyle or Sue) disarm the system, output 208 is turned on for 10 minutes. Then if the system is disarmed, it should check output 208 and if 208 is off, it should...

I'm looking for a simple one speaker way to play both the Elk amplified output and the HS sound card line level outputs on one speaker. They should never end up speaking at the same time...but never say never they say so I just I just wonder if this will damage either the Elk or the 10W...

I don't know for sure, but am VERY hopeful... CNN

Lowes Interesting, because last time I looked you cannot do half of what they list from what they sell in the store...at least here in NM.

I just found this while shopping around. Looks like the 16khz Kate and Paul for $25. Includes some other software, but all I care about is the voices..... Get them here. I think I'm gonna give it a try and see what happens..... The next best deal I found was here where you can download them.

Best Buy has a nice looking Harmony remote on sale through Monday.....

First off, let me say WOW - this forum is awesome. Between this and Homeseer's board I can't imagine finding more information on what I am wanting to do. Now, with Summer fast approaching, I'm looking for a way to control my swamp cooler. (Evaporative cooling for you east coasters). 1)...

Ok, I'm brand new to the forum although I have been hanging out in the chat room for the last month or so. Anyway, I was hoping to get some advice on how to go about installing my own security/homeautomation system. First of, what I have is basically a 2000 square foot house that is...
