Actually Remote Desktop does not log out the user unless you select that option. You can choose just to disconnect. The sound issue is a known bug, I use Remote Desktop on my HS boxes with zero issues, and over the internet without issues as well. I have an icon placed on my desktop named...

no takers? please... this guy really needs help, and I am just out of time.

I was installing a system for a friend in the San Diego area, but some personal issues have come up and I have not been able to give him the help, nor time he deserves. If anyone is in this area, and has some experience I would really appreciate the help. This is completely a non-professional...

I am going to add my .02 here... since I just did this... My house is all X-10, and at this point it would be to expensive and pointless to change to another protocol. Since the only thing I had left to control were the fans and their lights. My house is a bit older, with fans in almost all...

I tried that, except I kept getting alerted on little power 'blips' - so I went the 12v method, the wall wart hold the relay open for a good 3 seconds without power. Plus I had a relay and wall wart, so no extra expense. I also did try the UPS monitoring but it was a pain in the butt... so I...

I use an old 12vdc wall wart (transformer) connected to a 12v relay, I then connect the relay to my Ocelot and whenever the power goes out, the relay turns off and my Ocelot says the power is out. This had the advantage as I had all the parts laying around, and there is a small buffer built in...

I was able to pick up a couple of my Audrey's for around that price, and they have a lot more support and options for Automation. I would save your $21... Wait for something else, these would be far to difficult to get working, and then they would only be marginal at best.

too bad it doesn't mention any specs about the camera or it's resolution... I first saw this in my SmartHome catalog, and thought it was cool... http://www.smarthome.com/95621.HTML There is a lot more information on the SmartHome site, including pictures. I like the Walmart price better!

I guess it could be worse, I could be pushing buttons and counting blinking lights... I hope to get my homeowner together to try this week. Thanks a million for the walk through...

... hello last week called, they want their video back! :D ;)

Anyone?? I really need to get this running... and I have no idea how to program these into the Caddx...

I was looking through the docs and found that I need to set the Caddx panel up like this: Panel Configuration The plug-in requires that the panel be set up with the following configuration, at least through the beta testing process: Location 207 – Serial port selector Set to 1 Location 208 –...

I want to chime in here.... I have been running HS in my home since 1.5, it has had it's ups and downs, but if I stayed on the released versions it has been stable. The beta's were another story, but no complaints as I made the choice to run a beta version. Due to personal reasons I have been...

How!? This is what I was looking for, but in the UPBStart software the only options available for control are links, not devices. I would rather not use a link for every single device...

My real issue regarding links is not with the links, but the fact that I can't directly send commands to other devices instead I have to send it to a link, even when the switch is controlling itself. So in essence I have to create at least one link for every single device, again this is...

My speed concerns are local control at the switch of the attached load, if there is something in between or a noise issue, then I have HUGE problems that NOTHING could fix :( Push the on, and wait 1/2 to a full second and the light comes on. My old $.98 x-10 bulk swtiches are much faster...

Since I am now remote and all my switches (for this time) are installed I don't need the software anymore, plus you have to exit HS to use it... a pain... It wasn't switching rooms, it was creating a new room and trying to move a switch into that room that caused my software issues. Perhpas...

First off let me say these were just my first quick impressions, and my CADDX issues were completely unrelated, and no way biased my opinions. The LED color was just and observation, I think the blue is cool, the green is to dim to be useful, and the light blue is so close to blue it is...

Done.... see here. Excuse the ramblings and typos as I am running on no sleep... :) :(

Well this weekend I installed 7 Simply-Automated USR240 dimmers, and ~7 slave switches along with a fixture module. This is my first UPB experience, I have ~80 various x-10 devices at my house, and have a lot of experience there. Here are my quick first impressions:Hardware The dimming...
