    My experiences with (cheap) Network Cameras, Analog Cameras, and DVR Software

    A little over two years ago, I got a new puppy and wanted to be able to watch him during the day while I was at work. I found the Panasonic BL-111A on Ebay and ordered one for about $130. I thought this little camera was one of the best things in the world. It let me watch him in his crate...

    Brultech Setup Question - Micro 80 CTs on Channel 2

    I am a current TED user transitioning to multiple Brultech ECM-1240s for more granular monitoring. I started with my subpanel since it is easier to get to and install everything. The sub-panel is 100AMP being fed from a 200AMP main panel. I am monitoring the sub-panel using Micro 100 CTs on...

    How to add a "Gang" to an existing 3-Gang Switch

    I've been searching high and low for an answer to this, but have come up dry. In order to use something like a ZWave scene controller, I'd like to add a fourth gang to my existing 3 gang switchbox. I have no problems with wiring any of this...that isn't the issue. What I can't figure out...

    Easy Question - Elk Keypad Chime

    This is stupid, but I absolutely cannot figure out how to get my Elk keypads to chime. I have three keypads, 1 of the original style and two of the KP2s. In ElkRP, I've made sure that all three keypads have the "No Chime" box unchecked. On the zones that I want to hear the chime (front door)...

    Best way to connect 2 TR16 Thermostats to PC?

    I have two TR16 RS485 thermostats that I'd like to connect to my PC (for use with Homeseer). The PC does not have a Serial port, so I have an 8 port edgeport USB to serial adapter. Because of the USB interface, I'm guessing that I need to use a powered RS485 to RS 232 adapter? If so, does...

    Leviton ViziaRF (and nonRF) Dimmers - Loud Buzz

    I installed my first Vizia RF dimmer last night and encountered a fairly loud buzz coming from the switch itself whenever the lights were dimmed. I could easily hear this buzz from 10 feet away. If the lights are off, there was no buzz. If the lights were on and turned to full brightness...

    Any word on the availability of Vizia RF products?

    The last I read, several people were able to obtain them from distributors in early to mid August. I would have guessed that they would have been available for retail purchase by now, but I haven't seen anything yet. I'm most interested in the switches, but I guess the lamp and appliance...
