Hi Guys, I used to be pretty active here but I've been gone for many years now. MY OPII has been chugging along happily for years but recently some automation stopped working. When I went to connect w/ PC Access to look at or reload the automations I could not connect. I tried everything via...

Has anyone setup a Ring doorbell with an Elk 930 or 960? I've had my regular lighted bell trigger a 960 then a 930 which triggered a song on my Nuvo and its worked great for years. I installed a Ring Pro doorbell and I can't get either to work. It doesn't seem like pressing the button on the...

So all of the sudden (meaning no changes or anything) I noticed the audible exit beep stopped working on all consoles. I checked all settings (even reset them) and also power cycled the panel and no luck. So I tried adding a simple automation block when a zone is violated to beep. No matter what...

Yugster currently has the HDHR3 on sale for $79.99 for 21 hours from the time of this post or until gone. Great price if you need one but hurry up....

I know HAI does not really pre-announce products but would it be in the realm of possibility to expect to see HAI branded Zigbee switches similar to the UPB ones. Considering you have your ZIM and other Zigbee devices I would think this to be a natural next step?

I'm having some trouble with the web interface. On the web tab I have the controller name and password set. 1. If I click on the Open web interface button it opens my browser and tries to navigate to https://localhost:9399/. After a short wait it times out and shows: No data received...

So the HAI and iPad thread that started out as a generic topic in this dedicated HAI subforum quickly turned into a thread about Haiku and its new Helper. Seems like that 31 page thread turned predominantly Haiku around the second page. If in fact there is non-Haiku related info in there it will...

I am looking at moving my Nuvo Grand Concerto from being controlled by CQC to being controlled by the OPII. I know I can go back to using the paging trigger on the Nuvo and control it with an output but as my outputs are almost used up I would rather be able to control the paging via serial as...

Ok, so I have a friend that has a very basic need and since I don't use Insteon (or ZWave) I just wanted to run this by you to see if I have it right. So - he has a light fixture that will be hardwired in the ceiling with NO wall control (was a former ceiling fan outlet). So - he wants to wire a...

My understanding is that the OPII should reflect Jetstream status, as in when a Jetstream switch/button is pressed the OPII should know this. It's not working for me... I can control Jetstream devices via the OPII fine (manually and via rules) but if I turn a switch on/off it is not reflected...

In case you don't frequent the CQC site, it was just announced that Charmed Quark Systems, LTD will be closing down and the CQC software will be Open Sourced. You can follow all the details here. As a long time user of CQC since V1.x I'm not really sure how I feel about this yet. I guess there...

Well, this has been bugging my wife for a while so now it is a problem for me :D There are a few keys on the console that don't seem to illuminate like the others. When I did the console mod to keep the LCD on I took it apart a bit and confirmed all the LEDs are lit properly and everything is...

In another thread Fred mentioned the Application Directory In this application directory, on page 8-3/8-4 a 'hack' is described that allows the console LCD backlight to remain on and/or dim. So I stopped at Radio Shack and picked up the mentioned 150 ohm 1/2 watt resistors all ready to do the...

Ok, so this one is driving me nuts and making the family and neighbors annoyed if not deaf! What is happening is the system is armed in away mode. When you enter from an Entry/Exit zone the Interior sounders are going off IMMEDIATELY but a Burglary is not signaled. If the system is disarmed the...

So this is where the comments I made in another thread about individual zone programing and EOLs want to bite me in the rear. I want to hookup my doorbell to the OPII via the Elk-930 doorbell detector that I have. The 930 connects to an input zone as follows: So the zone needs to be NO. In...

So, my main desktop pc decided to have a heart attack and stroke at the same time. Not sure which way it happened but a drive failed and power supply (psu) died a horrible death. My working theory is the drive died/shorted and took the psu with it. In any case I sort of got REALLY lucky because...

If anyone was interested in buying CQC but waiting for another sale there is someone selling their copy. Only 1 available, I'm sure it will go quick. Look here. * I only posted this here because I know there are CT readers that do not frequent the CQC forums but are interested in the product.

Not directly automation related, but... A contractor I bumped into showed me one of these and said it worked really well. He said it was like $40. I could not find them anywhere local and they were around $90 all over online. I was going to get one at Sears for $90 that included a tripod but I...
