As most of us already know, the X10 modules were sold under many brands and names. That probably played a significant role in making them so widespread. Marketing to different interest groups. The most widespread seem to be the generic X10 Powerhouse ones, and possibly the Radio Shack Plug 'n...

Hello (again)! I've first snooped around the forum to see if any of the names I remembered from years ago are still here, and recognized Brave Sir Robbin and Electron. They'll probably remember me as the Ocelot/Leopard guy... which I'm still using! I had sort of let go of the hobby side of...

Does anyone know how long the warranty is on RCS thermostats? My TR-40 is acting very strangely (eg. room temperature is either displayed correctly...or as being -64, or 00). I've only had it about 2 years or so and I can't see any warranty information in the online docs.

Here's an interesting story: http://www.cbc.ca/technology/story/2007/02/20/tech-bulb.html Not that I particularily like incandescent bulbs, but a lot of X-10 switches don't support any other type of bulb, espcially if the switch doesn't require a neutral. Also, the compact fluorescent bulbs...

And I'd like to get any feedback from people with the model I'm considering: A Sony KDL-46S2000. This is a 46 inch LCD flat panel TV with built-in ATSC tuner and multiple inputs (composite, component, HDMI and S-Video). My understanding is that for the time being, component inputs are the best...

I have just set up an actual installation (as opposed to a temporary bench setup) of my Buffalo IR repeater system and I'm having some strange behavior that I'd like to discuss with anyone having worked with these devices. This installation was prompted by my recent subscription to digital...

I noticed that someone on ebay is selling a batch of RLY8XA modules with a buy it now price of $50. I know nothing about this particular seller but I just thought I'd give everyone a heads up on what looks like a very good price for this module...

Ok, this has nothing to do with automation but here is a pic of my daughter's graduation. She has finished her batchelor's degree in Science, Mathematics at Universite de Montreal. She would like to become a math teacher (imagine...)

I was posting a suggestion on the Elk M1 dealer site forum and then a question came to mind concerning how the rule engine worked. The following code is intended to dial a different number every 15 seconds as long as the system is still tripped (output 2 is still on) until the last number is...

Is there a way to copy a list of Elk rules as text to a file, for things like pasting them in a forum post or whatever?

I have been testing the Elk M1 being accessed through a Lantronix EPS1 print server's serial port and it has been working really well. These print servers can often be bought for $5 to $10 on ebay and I have been using them in all sorts of applications such as accessing my Ocelot, PHAnderson...

While looking around in ELKRP, I noticed that in the firmware upgrading menu, there is also a function to "verify firmware" and the help files don't explain it very well. What exactly does this do? Does it do a byte by byte comparison of the device's loaded firmware vs the copy in the disk file...

Here is a link to the project thread on the ADI support forum: http://www.appdigusers.com/forum/showflat....ge/0#Post187772 Any comments or suggestions about this project are more then welcome.

The new ADI forum is finally up and running, although some tweaking remains to be done, like adding a banner at the top. Dan Smith is currently working on these issues. The new link is: http://www.appdigsupport.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php Anyone going to the old link will see a message...

In case anyone is trying to access the ADI (Applied Digital) support forum and is seeing the "down for maintenance" message: ADI is currently getting the forum software upgraded. You will now be able to search across all forums, etc. I don't know exactly when it will be back up.

For a project I'm building, I would like to find a Decora style panel that would have several tiny push buttons that would close normally open dry contacts. Is there such a thing available? Ideally I'd like it have 8 buttons (two columns of four) or more, although other button configurations...

I had one of those "hmmm" moments the other day: I was troubleshooting a weak X10 signal problem around my PC/lab area and at one point I had my ESM1 signal meter plugged in alongside a PSC-05 that wasn't connected to anything. I was sending X10 from another part of the house and couldn't see...

How about this solution: http://www.joe-ks.com/MultiMedia/SavingEnergy.wmv

During last Friday's evening chat, there was a discussion about the compatibility of the Smarthome Icon (Insteon) switches in X10 mode. After a few tests done by Martin, it appears that these switches do not respond the same as other X10 switches when a multiple address sequence is used to turn...

Would anyone have a link for a site where I could find detailed Leviton DHC information. I looked at Leviton's site and cannot even find instruction sheets for switches and transmitters like the HCM06, HCC10, etc. There are no references either to some of the older models such as the 16383, etc...
