Graber uses Somfy RTS to motorize their shades.  Graber also has a Somfy Z-Wave controller to interface with RTS available at a good price.  I'm wondering if anyone has used this combination and has any comments to make.   Thanks for any experience you can offer.

I've been using Leviton RFIT and I've had it with it.  I'm trying to decide where to go next.  I use it with the VRUSB (primary) and VRC0P (secondary) and CQC.  I don't have any locks involved, so I'm not concerned with controlling battery operated devices.   I have multiple hubs (Hue, Smart...

I'm using the VRUSB stick with Leviton's Installer Tool software.  With Leviton stuck somewhere in the mud in getting it updated to run with a current Windows OS, I'm looking around for a new Primary Controller so I can retire the VRUSB stick to the junk box.   The ISY (Z Wave version) keeps...

I bought two of the K1610 to operate my motorized shades. These are the "built and tested" models. All went well so far as integrating with CQC. As I began to use them, I discovered that relay #5 on one of them, and relay #2 on the other doesn't function. They appear to fail to move at all. I...

As I was researching the Philips Hue system, and subsequently playing with it, I couldn't but help be impressed with where Philips is going with their bulb technology.   I  noticed they had a regular bulb that looked much like the Hue, this one was 65 watts, warm glow. I had to try one for...

Moving to CQC which doesn't have a driver for the Ti103, I will need to move to a new method of sending X-10 commands.  Dean has suggested the ISY, and is currently working on his new driver for it.   I don't know anything about the ISY or what else it might do for me, but I do need to be sure...

I expect this topic has been beaten to death on here, but things keep changing.  I'd like to get some feedback on a recommended controller for my specific situation.  Right now I'm running kind of a patched together system without good control.  I put it together with a Z-Troller, but without...

I've been using HA for a number of years, beginning with the Ocelot over a decade ago.  I then moved to Elve when John had it in BETA for months and it gave me a change to upgrade my knowledge.  I loved Elve and still do, but as most know, it's died with the departure of John to greener...

I use Z-Wave with Elve, a VRCOP interface, and Think Essentials and a Think Stick.   It's been running along great, but I haven't kept up to date on what is going on with Leviton.  I am also running Think Essentials on a laptop to program the modules.   With Think Essentials running on my...

Apparently.  How would you like to tackle an entire "smart farm"?  I guess it had to happen sometime.    http://www.ketv.com/news/local-news/new-technology-turns-field-into-smart-farm/-/9674510/20574222/-/14766wuz/-/index.html

I want to install some Cooper Aspire Z-Wave duplex recepticles in some j type boxes that will be surface mounted on a board.   Do I need to stick with fiberglas type boxes?  I assume metal is going to have a negative effect on the Z-Wave RF signal is it not?   Thanks for your thoughts.   Deane

Here's a living example of a home security system with on-line cameras doing the intended job. http://www.omaha.com...d-alerts-police

I'll post this over at the Codecore forum also, but hoped to perhapls catch someone else over here. I have been running my Elve software for my home theater and light home automation using a Pronto TSU-2000. I think the Pronto may have bought the farm today. All of a sudden the screen only...

I have a lamp on my desk operated with an Intermatic Z-Wave Dimmer Module (Home Settings). It's one of those packaged in the Intermatic close out sets that had a couple of lamp modules and a controller. After a few months of normal operation, it has recently started turning on at random times...

My ThinkStick is plugged into my desktop PC as I use it with software based home automation. How do I enroll modules located far from the computer? It is my understanding the ThinkStick and the module need to be located within inches of each other for the enroll. Thanks Deane

I purchased one of the GE remotes that Radio Shack has on sale. I want to use it as a secondary controller, my primary being a ThinkStick running on my PC. I seem to have it enrolled OK as a secondary using ThinkEssentials. It shows up on the screen and the properties show it correctly...

I'm wondering if there is anyone on here with experience with both of these approaches to IR LEARNING and IR blasting. I'm using USB-UIRT with my HA software at the present time, and it seems to have it's limitations. Right now, I can't get it to deal with control of my Emotiva UMC-1. I'm...

I'm trying to get my Z-Wave network setup. Right now, it's just one Leviton dimmer and an HA06 lamp module. I'm using Control Think and a ThinkStick for the controller. The two devices mentioned above added just fine and I can control them as expected in the ControlThink software. When I try...

Can anyone confirm that I can create a Z-Wave network with a ThinkStick and ControlThinks software, then run it with my Elve software and an RZC0P interface rather than the ThinkStick. I currently run a Z-Wave network with the Elve/RZC0P that was created with a Z-Troller and it works fine, so...

I can't get Automated Outlet to respond to an email. I need to get a return authorization, their site instruction says to use the "Request for Return" area under Orders, but it doesn't exist. They don't respond to emails. I have seen other complaints about Automated Outlet on here, now I have...
