    Connecting Grafik eye to electrical outlet

    Not sure I understand the question. . . so correct me if my answer is not what you were looking for. The Grafik Eye should be connected in a junction box, like a regular 120V light switch. Black to Black, White to White, GND to GND. The rope lighting would be hardwired to the Grafik Eye in a...

    For strictly integrating lighting in the theater, URC has lights manufactured by Lutron that are controlled directly from the mx-880 remote, around $80 a piece. http://www.universalremote.com/products/residential/lighting/urc-lighting Otherwise I've used Lutron's Spacer lights, with the IR...

    Lighting for Structured Wire Area

    Electronic transformers are notoriously noisy especially cheap ones that come with fixtures like Home Depot. I've had an install where the neighbor lost AM stations on their radio when some pendant lights were turned on in the other house. Frankly I have had no noticeable problems installing...

    How many LED lights are required for proper lighting in a finished basement/

    Depending on your ceiling height, wall and ceiling color and floor type this answer can vary quite a bit. Assuming a light paint color and an 8 foot ceiling height, you would need about 21 CR6 fixtures in a 20 x 20 room to get an average of 30 foot candles on the floor. The Cree CR6 fixtures...

    Capacitive water flow switches

    I've sent in a request to the manufacturer for more information as it is called a flow switch but is not clear whether it senses flow or empty pipe and flowing pipe. . . reading the data sheet again under the "I/O Circuit Diagrams" the "Liquid Level" option appears to be either "Present" or...

    Capacitive water flow switches

    http://www.sowaytech.com/sdp/302911/4/pd-1...64-1271020.html I came across these capacitive water flow switches online, which look promising as they basically clip onto non metallic water pipe and provide a N.O. NPN output, operating at 12-24V. I emailed the company and got a data sheet (Its...

    Wi-Fi paint

    This looks like a decent system, paint it on and ground the wall. Seems like it would be effective. Graph on site shows good attenuation over the wifi range. http://www.lessemf.com/paint.html If anyone gives it a try I would be interested in hearing about the results.

    How to get stereo output from TV to audio distribution unit

    Just wanted to throw this out there. Now that I've had a chance to install these little guys, I would highly recommend these AudioEngine W1's as a great alternative to cables. I had absolutely no interference problems from the airport express router 2 feet beneath the AW1 transmitter, nor did...

    How to get stereo output from TV to audio distribution unit

    I would like to stay away from transmitting FM because I do not want to use the radio input on the Niles for TV as well. That way different people in the house can still listen to the radio even if someone is watching TV. . . Anyone had any luck using bluetooth devices like sonys' HWS-BTA2W...

    How to get stereo output from TV to audio distribution unit

    I am trying to connect the stereo outputs from my TV to my audio distribution system (Niles ZR6) which is 20' across the room, running cables is not an option. Trying to find something that is reliable. There are cheap wireless audio extenders from radio shack and Terk, but they all seem to...

    Cheap automated blinds

    In a similar type setup I used a momentary up down toggle switch (wired as Lagerhead has shown for the dpdt relay) attached to a latching relay. So when I pushed up on the button it gave a momentary +ve DC voltage and the relay latched one way, and when I pushed down it gave the relay a...

    Touch sensor: strip of metal, throw relay?

    Capacitive touch sensors (normally lamp touch switches, etc) are typically made for smaller sensors. A metal strip down the length of the door would be problematic for a couple of reasons. First it acts like a giant antenna and you would probably blow the circuitry. Second and related problem...

    Multiple security systems in one install . . .

    Curious to to see if it is possible to put something like an ELKm1g alongside an existing security system and share inputs? The idea being if someone already has a monitored security solution and is happy with it, then later want to add home automation. What would be the best way to go about...

    3-way switch confusion (UPB retrofit)

    "You're saying there's typically a couple of extra wires (black and white)?" Typically, however from your pictures it appears thats not what has been done. Based on what you've drawn you can not put a regular switch in the first junction box and send power the the second junction box without...
