I recently bought a RooWifi module with the hopes of interfacing my Rooma with CQC.  Took about a month over the holidays to get it in (ships from Spain).  It has a simple web interface and gave me some hassels in pairing with my Wifi network when it was set to G-Only (DDWRT).  I had to set my...

Since CQC is distributed, I have it running on 5 different machines (two XP VM's and 3 WIN7 clients).  With the furious pace of CQC beta releases recently (and me having to keep up this round for driver development) I have been spending a lot of time doing it all manually.   I had to copy the...

I know there have been several threads recently on cameras but I would like to have a discussion on what software people are using, especially with Aircam.  I got my first one installed this weekend and it works pretty well.  I have had to order a wider lens, but other than that, the install was...

So I was poking around the Wiki the other day with the thoughts of add some FAQ entries. It looks to be locked down. Have you considered opening it up and then maybe letting the community help you maintain it? It might help keep the wiki up to date, right now it seems a little stale...

I just noticed this in the latest ELK release notes: So I guess that means my daylight savings time will forever be screwed up unless I fork out $$$ for a new wireless receiver. I'll tell you what ELK, if I fork out money it may just be for an Omnipro! This is total B.S.....

I recently noticed that I can't arm my M1 remotely with either CQC or EKeypad. All I see in the logs is Access Keypad over and over, I can disarm fine. My firmware is 4.6.8, is anyone else experiencing this? Are there any settings that can cause this?

So last weekend I upgraded to 4.6.8 in an effort to solve some ISY issues. Since then, even though my thermostat (RCS) is set to Off, rules like the one below are triggering HEAT mode. Has anyone else noticed this? WHENEVER THE TIME IS WeekEndMorn (Cust Set 13) AND THE DAY(S) OF THE WEEK...

So I am reading up on the whole M1 support for ZWave door locks and thinking about if it would be a good fit for my setup. I have an almost complete Insteon installation, so zero current ZWave devices and not really looking to replace what I have. Right now I understand I would need: Elk...

I am looking to replace my current sump pump with a battery backed up solution. Since my sump pump is in a closet in a finished basement, I would really like to find intelligent ways to monitor it via my ElkM1. All the solutions I have looked at have built in monitoring but no way to supervise...

Although I am sure there are some people that install HA lighting and forget about it (those lucky few :) ), it seems a lot of us have to replace switches many times for various reasons. The result, at least for me, is a lot of wear and tear on the wiring in my electrical boxes. I am trying...

Well after over a year of development, CQC now has support for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMPv2). I wrote this driver from scratch and made a lot of "discoveries" along the way about why all the network management tools I have used at work have issues. :P It is all done at the...

So I got my RC80 wired up and after replacing a blown fuse in the omnistat got it talking to the HVAC OK. But I can't seem to get the Elk to recognize it. The M1XSP led is blinking once per second. I suspect that the 22/4 wire I ran is the culprit or perhaps my terminations, but my question...

Ok, the state of backup software seems to have taken a real turn since I last looked at it years ago. Back in the day there were one or two "go to" vendors. Now there is a bunch of software options. I have tried a few, Acronis True Image Home 10, Stompsoft's PCBackup, and NTI BackupNOW My...

I am curious how exactly Powerhome is creating the records in the PLC for the ELK to use for Insteon groups. From my experience, all that is required to get a group setup for a PLC is to have the device id in the PLC and no master link. Then just have a slave link in the controlled device...

I am in the middle of installing a supplemental elk power supply with the hopes of getting rid of all of my transformers. I have the 4A model. From adding up the loads I would like to put on it, based on the transformer labels, it looks like I may be a little over. I have a DSL modem (.8A)...

Does anyone know of a source for the molex type connectors for the M1G, hopefully with part numbers? I would like to replace the stock wiring harnesses W035A and Ouput 7-16 harness, etc. and just add connectors, remove all the splicing/B connectors and just go straight in with my patches and...

I would like to record a custom sound for my doorbell into the M1. I realize the only way is via the phone input. Has anyone come up with creative ways to get good sound out of a PC into the M1 cleanly? Custom sounds are a great feature, but the phone only input pretty much cripples it in my...

I have the ODC-59B garage door sensor from AO. It has 3 wires Black-Common, Green-NO, Red-NC. I currently have it connected as follows: Black-Common to M1XIN Neg Red-NC to M1XIN Z1 When I open the door the M1 reports a Violated/Short(-), when I close the door I see 13.8V on the zone. So I...

Ok, this should be a slow pitch for you guys.... I have seen from previous posts that you can connect multiple batteries to the M1G to increase uptime. Would these be connected in parallel?

Are there terminal strips anyone know of that have "shorting bars"? I tried to google it, but haven't found anything. It seems to me this would be a pretty common thing, since many applications for strips are done in a breakout fashion, i.e. one-to-many. I know I could always wire one...
