I have a ELO touch monitor with VGA input in a rack connected to a computer that has minimal duties (at present). Also in the rack are the components for living room entertainment and simple whole house audio. A Yamaha receiver serves as the central component and has two HDMI outputs, one going...

I've been reading a few lightning related posts, but everyone's issues are different, so... Had a direct or near strike 3 days ago, I was in the home/office at the time. Just now got a replacement DSL and network switch up, so I can at least use the Internet again. I have a central closet with...

I installed the eKeypad app and thinking about the upgrade. Two big problems, 1 communication seems okay on the property (probably with a WIFI connection, but I don't know how to confirm that, but cannot make a connection off the property. 2 Everytime I go to the eKeypad website, it locks up...

My irrigation well has probably the highest iron concentration ever seen. About 18 months ago, my latest effort to solve was a "Rust Service Company". They installed a chemical tank and a small injection pump, wired in parallel to the well pump. Whenever the pressure drops, the pressure switch...

My old computer that had RP installed was a Windows XP machine. It died a horrible smoking death. My new computer has Windows 7 (64 bit), and I can't seem to find any solid answer for which version of RP I should install. It seems ELk is having problems with RP2 and maybe other software/firmware...

I remember reading about some people having consistent touch response from the EBAY ELO screens awhile back. Seems like the new mounts that some were doing were erratic, but could be fixed by a new application of a perimeter strip of new foam tape, but it had to be ELO type. My screen seemed...

I found this software http://zenpoint.org/ Anyone tried it?

New HTPC being set-up. I tried this new driver, its great, has a neat keyboard and flicks, but crashes to bluescreen . I had to uninstall and go to the older driver. Has anyone tried this and had better luck?

How is this card for a new HTPC? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16815116036 Comcast issues? Software? I'll be using Windows 7 as OS. SageTV? IR receiver/transmitter... It doesn't seem to show up in the online manual. Can this be used for other purposes like the USB-UIRT...

Would this be overkill for the OS and programs on an Atom 330/Ion GUI HTPC? http://www.compusa.com/applications/Search...mp;sku=P33-6022 Would it be large enough? Planning on running: Windows 7 Premise or other HA program Music Jukebox Blu-Ray playback HDTV capture, storage and playback USB...

I would like to build a HTPC and mount it in my central rack in the kitchen. So far, I think I like the ASUS ION ITX Atom board, with a Blu-Ray reader/ DVD writer like the Lite-On. Local video will be my ELO touch panel in the rack, with HDMI out to the living room big screen. The wife is on...

There are a bunch of these on Ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/Insignia-NS-R2000-200W...2#ht_2465wt_887 Has anyone used these or know any back story on them? I might rack a couple for remote rooms if they're any good.

Does anyone use this Russound system? Will my ELK control this from an RS232 port? Will the present Premise modules or drivers work with the CA4? It's not the NUVO I was planning on, but if the sound quality and controllability are there, it looks like a nice bridge for a few years. Thanks

I've had Premise downloaded for awhile now, but don't know exactly where to start. In the Wiki article, there is the following; I assume that is referring to a manual that can be downloaded, but I must be blind. Can't find it. Thanks, Sonny

What is everyone doing about the screen adjustments for the HiTech ELO touchscreens? Has anyone determined if the PS2 port for the OSD are switch inputs? Thanks, Sonny

I decided a separate power supply would be best for my garages, they're 250 feet away and I just didn't feel the cat5 power feed would be up to the task. Everything seems fine, no data issues, but I am not sure how a proper power up or power down sequence should be handled. I have a keypad...

I currently have a cheapo LCD TV mounted in my equipment rack in the kitchen. My wiring closet backs up to the rack. The signal is slaved to the living room, but I do have local audio control. The signal is component and L/R audio. I would like to replace the TV with a touch panel like Hi-Tech...

Title says most of my question. All these posts on the Ebay HiTech items has caught my interest in a purchase. At this time they seem to have 3 models listed plus the HP product, which must be ELO devices also, based on the model number. A search of the HP shows it to be a "SAW" technology. I've...

I know this is probably vain or something :)

I have a Jandy RS pool/spa controller. Really nice, but would be a lot smarter if I connected to Elk, and other HA. The Jandy runs an RS485 bus and would normally require a ridiculously ($400 plus) RS485 to RS232 board. The Elk runs an RS485 bus and would also require an adapter. I really don't...
