Hi,   I have a driveway alarm that is hard wired to a pico speaker in my house, the speaker makes a buzzing noise when it has power, which it only gets when the driveway alarm goes off.  I have a speaker that beeps when a car drives over the alarm.  I also have an Insteon door sensor that is set...

Hi, I purchased a house that came with a driveway alarm. The siren is about 30 years old & sounds like its not working so well. The unit is a Mallory Sonalert Model SC628: http://www.alliedelec.com/search/productdetail.aspx?SKU=70186628&gclid=CLDQ2f2QorECFYTd4AodkzH1iA It is still being...

My issue seems to be how to get the IR codes into the Remote as Universal Devices is not an option in the database. I believe I can teach the ISY IR commands but when I tried a spare remote sitting around (zennith), the ISY seemed to recognize the IR commands, but it thought that any button on...

Actually I do have the IR version - yippie for me. I cant import the mxj file though.

Hi, I do have an ISY-99. I dont know if its the IR though. How would i find that out?

Hi, I am having a blast playing with my MX-850/MFX-350 & Denon 890 reciever. It got me thinking that it would be great to have a lighting page on my remote to control the house lights. Is there a way to do that? The 890 does not have a serial port. Thanks, Rich

Mike, Sorry I missed this post, I was around & could have made it. I can surely use the help but I am loving the ISY. Rich

Im not sure how to do that? Is that difficult? I will have to take a look at what I have now but I will look for those brand names. I will post back with more info on what I have.

Hi, I think my CCTV 16CH 12V power supply is dying. The fan became pretty loud over the last week & I am guessing its on its way to a noisey death. Instead of just getting an Ebay power supply (though I did get the first one through a CCTV forum vendor), I was curious if anyone had a...

Mike, I have been doing a ton of reading on the ISY. I spoke to Smarthome & they were nice enough to swap out my PLC for PLM, so I took the plunge & bought the ISY99I (not sure if I need the iR but I figured why not). I am slowly getting the concept of groups (physical switches) vs Scenes...

Mike, Thanks for the answer, I am trying to figure if my situation has anything that isnt in HS2 already in terms of links. Since all my insteon devices are in HS2 (at this point its only lighting), I am not sure how else the links would work. If i have a DS10A send a signal through hs2 to...

Hi, Can someone help me figure out this 'linking' issue that ISY99I handles? Im not sure I get what the ISY does & why I need it. I currently have the PCL (usb one), HS2, & a bunch of insteon. What does the ISY do better? Is it a faster reaction time when using a web browser? My system...

Wow this is great. Does that harbor item just hook up to the DS10a? Thats pretty cool!

To anyone watching or wondering, i bought this for 30 bucks http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.js...oductId=2102920 Works perfectly. Thanks for the tips people!

Im still looking for some cheapie speakers. The best Costco.com has is this: http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=11222761 Anywhere else to get inexpensive TTS speakers? Thanks, Rich

Hi, I have 4 speakers in my living room & I think i want to make one dedicated to TTS annoucements. Since my HS2/CCTV server runs 24/7, I think i want to have that be the source. With that being said, I have one speaker (for now) I am going to use. Whats the best way to do this (distance...

This looks pretty interesting. Is the idea to label all lights or just lights in a multi gang switch. For example, in my sons room, there is one switch, I assume theres no need for a label. At the front door, I have a 3 gang (though one is an insteon keylinc - which this wont help).

Did you buy the speakers at costco.com or in the store?

Hi, I uploaded a diagram of my issue. I think the going in circles is probably whats doing it. Any ideas on how to fix that? Im at a loss on how to keep the PC mixing the sound without going in circles. Thanks, Rich

Well, I ended up getting a splitter coming from the TV audio out that goes to TV Input & the other TV audio out cable goes to the PC which mixes. The end result is if the PC is on, the DVD input needs to be on (PC mixes TV audio via the line in), if the PC is off (no HS2 announcements but)...
