I expect the complex is a bulk subscriber, that a window/patio door/front door is prewired to a single in-wall keypad/sounder/responder, and that if you pay for the alarm option they add your phone number and safe code to the database and give you the passcode to arm and disarm the device.

Even if the sharing complied with the TOS, what are you going to do when the internet connection for your entire neighborhood gets suspended because just one of your users 1) gets hit by a virus that turns their computer into a spambot, 2) gets flagged for illegal file sharing, or 3) starts...

No, not at all. The Nokia just shows a 800x480 window of the client machine's display. You can scroll around any size display, just looking at it 800x480 at a time, the same way you look at a portion of a spreadsheet at a time and can scroll around to different part of the sheet.

The 'hitting devices at different times' concern is a non-issue for passive couplers. Electrical signals travel at, what, the speed of light, so the difference between traveling 3 feet and 300 feet is well within the tolerance of the electronic processors involved. The added issue with...

Doesn't the device offer a switched relay output on alarm also? Could you set up an additional wirepair so that when the alarm went off, it would add the resistor to the keypad output?

Let's see... plug in two devices, plug in two Accesspoints to bridge phases, press & hold set buttton on device 1 for ten seconds, press and hold set button on device 2 for ten seconds, done. Damn, that's complicated! If they won't link, check the house for a short list of devices, unplug...

Circular logic is a key feature of FUD. Digger's been studying!

Three words. Fear. Uncertainty. Doubt.

There isn't a 2, aside from the V2 that differentiates x10-only *Lincs from Insteon *Lincs. Who, exactly, is twisting words?

[Emphasis added] Insteon has emphasized compatibility from the beginning, including compatibility with legacy x10 devices. To suggest that they'd create a new and incompatible protocol at this stage of the game is ludicrous.

That's fear, uncertainty and doubt. Make up a story, tell people that there's a new version just around the corner, suggest incompatibilities, and in three easy steps you've created marketplace confusion. It's pretty much the business equivalent of asking, out of the blue and without any...

That's sort of what I had in mind, but I couldn't get the local planning commission to approve the size of the moat... :lol:

Congratulations!

WATER (But shouldn't that actually be WATER :) Thanks for running the contest!

I am, to the best of my knowledge, the only volunteer moderator on the SH forums. I was empowered to remove spam on the SH forums to keep it from building up after business hours and on weekends. As is customary with 'volunteer' positions, the hours are lousy and the pay non-existent. But the...

digger, No allegations were made, false or otherwise. A new user to the forums was picking on you in particular in multiple message threads, and I put out word to *everyone* that I could see the IP address of the person doing the name calling. I could also see that that same person was...

Mike, you may have been in the middle of writing your reply when I posted mine re: group command hop count. The problem goes away when we send the command manually using the SDM and specifying a hop count of 3. There's nothing wrong with the PLC, just with the SDM's handling of the send group...

What we noticed over on the HAL board is that it appears that if you send out a group command without specifying the repeat hop count (remember, Insteon messages cascade out with a hop count, such that each time a message is received and repeated the hop count is reduced by one and messages are...

From the Smarthome message boards:

x10 is both a communications protocol for transmitting simple messages (usually lighting or appliance control) at the zero crossing of standard AC wiring and/or via wireless RF, as well as a company (X10.com) known for peddling "economy" automation hardware via annoying pop-up marketing.
