    Choosing smart thermostat

    I get a WOW every time I walk by my RC-2000. The motion sensor lights it up for me and if I want a quick change I just turn the knob. I haven't wired it into the OMNIPro yet but just the ease of programming it as a standalone is great. Today it was almost 80 here and it is a good feeling when I...

    What do I need next to control my RC2000

    CAn you post a link to a kit. The only kits I saw included the thermostat. Which I already have. I had a feeling I needed a control panel along with the board.

    I never found a good reason to limit searches. It is very odd that I can't search on - IP POE HAI cameras.

    Need advice configuring server hardware (RAID and CPU settings)

    I love both of my silicondust HDHRs. I can record 4 channels of HD. It handles both either QAM or ATSC. Or I can tell the server to only use two channels and assign individual tuners to separate PCs.

    What do I need next to control my RC2000

    So I need this: http://www.discounthomeautomation.com/cgi-...-with-Enclosure But I would still need an interface to this to control the objects attached to it, lights, stats and etc. You said the OMNI sits there on the wall 24/7. But what does it do if there is no interface or am I missing...

    Need advice configuring server hardware (RAID and CPU settings)

    If you check out the forums at MSDN you'd probably be told not to use any raid in the system whatsoever. If you do use raid you'll run into a headache when you try to expand it. Now if I could afford 6 2 terabyte drives I might go with raid 5 on your 6 port controller. Then the OS on a 500 to...

    I got my RC-2000 installed

    The humidifier was pre-installed with the house. It is a honeywell unit. But I have not hooked that up yet. I did notice when I wired up the the stat that they used a wire bundle that has some spare wires tucked back in the wall, I am hoping there are enough there to handle all the additional...

    What do I need next to control my RC2000

    Ultimately I'd like to control the thermostat and lighting remotely. I don't have a lot of rooms to worry about. My house is about 3500 SQ Ft. with 1000 of that in the basement. So which controller would best suit my needs. And what pieces to I need to tie the PC in to for remote management. I...

    What do I need next to control my RC2000

    I am thinking I need these 1. Interface Module Lets You Send UPB Commands Via HAI Control Panel or PC 2. Adapter Connects PC to UPB Powerline Interface Module for PC Control 3. One of the software packages to detect the UPB devices. Or are one of the Omni Controllers require for all this.

    I got my RC-2000 installed

    Very simple install. I wrote down the connection info from the existing Honeywell thermostat and it transferred almost directly over to the RC2000. Other than a key piece of info missing on the copying of one days program to the rest the install and setup was cake. I love the motion detection on...

    What's the preferred format for Audio and Video Files

    I have bought almost the entire sweet from Slysoft. I used ANYDVDHD to crack the encryption on both DVD and bluRay. Then I use CloneDVD mobile to grab just the movie off the DVD, to save space and then I used AnyDVDHd to rip the bluray movie to a folder. There is a process to take just the movie...

    Omnistat2 Thermostat Pre-Wire

    I think these are the same questions I have asked in a thread last week. Another thing you have to worry about is if the wiring has enough power to run the stat. I here new wiring is supposed to carry enough voltage for the LED display and whatever else the unit used power for but some people...

    Dell XPS All-in-one PC - $599

    I beleive core2duo were the next generation of the Core Duo. Like AMD Phenom becoming Phenom2. Except I think the Core2DUO was a way better improvement in comparison. I'd like a touchscreen in the kitchen but I'd think I have to have a stylus hanging by it incase my hands were dirty and a screen...

    Is it safe to prewire a HAI RC2000 for future OMNI IIe

    I ordered the RC2000 thermo and when I go to install it I am wondering if it is OK to prewire the cable to it from the location I am planning on putting the OMNI IIe. I'm also curious about the humidifier connection. Do I just leave the humidifer on high and run a line from the power line on...

    I need a shopping list for Therm, power cutoff and pc control

    Thanks for the info. I'll have to save up for the Omni and Home Control pieces. Have you tested Home Control with Windows 7 yet? The thermostat will work stand alone won't it. If I can find a site that uses Bill Me Later I'll probably order it.

    I need a shopping list for Therm, power cutoff and pc control

    So the home control software requires the Omni IIe to interface with the Thermostat correct. For some reason I thought the PC had some sort of USB adapter that ran to a power outlet on the wall and controlled UPB accessible devices from there. But it is more like the OnmieIIe acts liek its own...
