Hi guys, I have just downloaded Damon Deen's "Various Drivers" package (http://www.cocoontech.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=14446&st=0&p=122565&) to try out RS-232 control of my DirecTV receiver. I unzipped the various DLLs into the C:\Premise\SYS\bin\devices folder, restarted the Premise...

Hi guys, New Premise user. I have set up my basic system with a bunch of Leviton Vizia RF dimmers and relay switches, along with an RCS TZ43 and 2 Trane / Schlage thermostats. So far, I have a few newbie questions. :) 1) I associated my dimmers & switches with the VRC0P, and I get proper...

Hi folks, I've spent a good part of the weekend playing with my new ZWave toys and Premise. Premise shows promise, but I'm a little disappointed my choice for a USB installer stick... To make a short story long, on Friday I took delivery of the VRUSB-1US Installer Stick, downloaded version...

I swung by Radio Shack a half hour ago, on an unrelated errand. Seeing how they were about to close, they put up new price tags. So, I got a peek at FURTHER price reductions on the remaining Z-Wave stock. Effective tomorrow: Appliance and Lamp modules are $10 Remote controls (regular and...

Hi guys, I'm in the midst of planning my HA system.. It seems that while most popular protocols (UPB, Insteon, Z-Wave) offer acceptable to great lighting control, thermostat options are considerably more varied. MY GOAL: Thermostat system with external temperature sensor and remote...

Hi guys, Regular lurker, HA newbie, and occasional poster here. I was planning out my modest home automation system (30 lights, 3 HVAC zones) when something hit me... I don't want to AUTOMATE my system as much as I want to make it more CONTROLLABLE - which implies manual, but remote, control...

It seems that both the Web Mountain RUC and the ISY99i address the need to automate UPB and Insteon systems beyond simple keypads, but without any extra wires, an always-on PC or an expensive alarm system and its programming limitations. The question is - what can the RUC do with UPB that an...

Hi guys, So over the last week, I was bitten by the Home Automation bug. My initial plan is to start out with my living room and kitchen lights, plus powered Hunter Douglas shade. I've decided on UPB because it seems the most DIY-friendly, the switches have a true rocker up/down action, and...
