What do you use the Pressure Sensors for? What brand and model did you use?

Thanks for the good inputs. I have used back boxes for a few speakers recently, but the cost does add up. It does make it easier to cut the hole for the speaker with a roto zip though. I tried it without back boxes for the same model of speakers just recently, and i think i agree with the...

So you are saying the firewall does filter out the UPB traffic? When you say inside the firewall, do you mean that a pim on any circuit of the firewall can communicate with UPB devices on any other circuit on the firewall? i have mostly compose switches, but i am thinking of adding some either...

Spanky, I have many "lightning rods" connected from the m1 to sensors around the property. Opto isolating all of them doesn't seem practical. Some of the wires are also used for video feeds from cameras connected to baluns(not to m1). Would the elk 951 work for this application? Bob

Art, I use the dakota alert motion sensor and they have a battery operated contact sensor(see link below) with a 500' range. I have been using the outdoor wireless motion sensor for more then a year and it works great. I bought the contact sensor for a mail box sensor as you mentioned, but...

What do you think, is it worth the money to put in speaker back boxes for ceiling speakers?

Dan, That looks like a great find. It looks like they are trying to get you to use the free version just for eval. Do they bug you with ads, or have you seen any indication of a limited duration of the free version? Bob

Has anyone tried using UPB across a compose firewall? Did it work well if at all? -Bob

I already have a RCS tr40 that i bought long ago before they became expensive and the lower cost hai stats. Does anyone know a reason they can be both controlled by the m1? Bob

The optex 1000 sounds interesting. When you talk about creating a tunnel, do you shield the beam with some material, or just by carefully aiming the detector? Rocco, She wants a audio notification inside the house. The solar approach is a good idea. Easily done. What laser sensor do you use...

Does anyone know of a wireless battery powered beam detector to monitor gate entry? The gate is between two fenced areas containing horses so a motion detector won't work. There isn't power and the home owner doesn't want to add wiring to it. The gate isn't normally closed, but she wants to...

gcimmino, I installed a 20KW standby gen at my house. Not an electrician, but also wired the 6k sq ft house. I got to know the electrical inspector really well. I agree with digger. Unless housed inside a building and properly ventilated and muffled a generater is likely to upset your...

BSR, Seco-larm has a unit 941SA300 (300#) that sells for $86. i assume you know there are units for gates that are weather-proofed, but cost much more. bob

Adicon also has a product called a Bridge that seems would work and is cheaper then the RCS unit. Worthington also has the adicon unit.

I have been looking for a detector that can deal with a dog that is almost 100Lb. They have one blue line model that claims to be good for that. I haven't seen a dealer that carries them however. Anyone know where i might be able to buy one or has used one? bob Blue Line ISM-BLD1-P Pet...

Thanks for the pointer to the pics. They were helpful. Where did you get the plastic wire management channel? i have been looking for something like that, but haven't found it yet. I had thought about plywood in the back of the can, but it was looking for a better way.

Can anyone offer suggestions on mounting Elk M1 devices, patch blocks, ... in leviton or onq cans? I prefer not to drill a bunch of holes in the metal, and the holes for push pins are never efficient. I use sticky velcro for the elk and other devices now, but that doesn't work for 110 style...

300+Mb/s is only within 3m. At 10m, the speed degrades to something close to 100Mb/s. Speed degrades quickly with walls as well. It uses Ultra Wide Band(UWB) as the transport, the same as the next version of bluetooth.

Is there any way to read / use the remaining duration of an output as a conditional?

Thanks, The nx448? i was just thinking of going with the most inputs since you can only have one wireless reciever.
