Dan, Your willingness to lend a hand and your opinion, has helped countless cocooners! Thanks a million (or at least 6000). ;-) Regards, Shawn

Thanks a ton for the replies gentlemen!

One of my clients has a GC-100 controller in the basement of his house controlling some of his whole house components. He a has a XM Radio in his kitchen that he would like to control via IR with the GC as well. There is a 100 ft Cat5e run that I would like to use to extend an emitter. Has any...

http://www.kcusa.com makes a very affordable Linux based dvr solution. Also have a nice selection of Cams. Regards, Shawn Walsh

Do you mean a broadband router with an integrated gigabit switch? Or a router that actually routes a gigabit speeds? Let me know, Shawn

Thanks for the reply Chris. Unfortunately I do not have any other software to try (unless you wanna give me a trial copy of control think just to verify? ;-)). I just ordered a handheld remote and a HA22 just to verify if the problem is indeed HAL, the ACT controller, or a faulty module(s)...

I have been using Z-wave (Homepro Models) successfully with HAL for nearly two years. I recently purchased 3 HA05 Intermatic outdoor screw-in lamp modules to install in my exterior lights. I can successfully find/discover the modules in HAL and I can turn them off using HAL. But I can not turn...

Cleaning the tape drive would not resolve scsi bus timeouts. Is the Backup unit identified/recognized by the scsi card during server bootup? Can you do a manual erase of a tape from BackupExec Admin console on the server? Let me know and we can continue troubleshooting. Thanks, Shawn Walsh

I have two runs (1 zone) that are about 80 feet from pulsar to control unit. I ran them on a cat5e (plenum) cable. I concur with E these work very well. Mahalo, Shawn

Corey, You would port the audio of your HAL pc to your houses audio system (whatever that may be). Make sense? Thanks, SHawn

UpstateMilke, With HAL you are not limited to two voices. They currently have six voices which can all be installed simaltaneously and accessed all at the same time. You basically have a different attention word for each voice. Also I have been told by years end there should be a much larger...

While I have honestly not setup or played with "CQC" I have to disagree with Why do you consider it not very flexible? I implore you to show me something HAL can't do that Homeseer can. It is compatable with just about every piece of hardware CQC or Homeseer is. The wow factor of HAL as far as...

Hello MRL, Martin from www.automatedoutlet.com is the friendliest HA distributer I have ever worked with, they stock both Elk and GE (I bought an Caddx NX-8e from him). Not to mention you will rarely find better prices then he offers. Just my 2 cents, Shawn

I am also very interested in the info on Plasma's that do not burn in. I have never heard of such a thing. If true then I would definitly tell the guy to go with Plasma over lcd. I have a 42in Hitachi HD Plasma above my Fireplace and it works great other then the constent adjusting of scaling as...

Pull up a command prompt window. then run the command "netstat -a -b" This shows all IP connections and ports open in a listening mode also the associated executable holding the ports open. Hope this helps, Shawn

I have a ZCU000 usb zwave controller that I am having issues with. The details. -I use HAL2000 (obviously i guess) -When I reboot my computer my zwave devices will work perfectly anywhere from 2-10 hours and then they stop responding -If I then reboot it, all starts working perfectly again...

According to the article the 5 stages take between 90-120 min to recycle. So there is really no way for you to know what stage of sleep you are in simply based on time passed since no movement. But I am thinking of a 20 Min Snooze option. So when you first wake up (first alarm) in the morning...

As long as all computers in the house had gigabit nics, then all interhouse communications would run at 1 gig, the connection from the switch to your broadband router would be technically a 100 mb connection but your only really getting the amount of bandwidth that your isp provides usually not...

I use two rly8-xa's for intelligent control of all my in-wall speakers. You are right on the money with setup just run the positive wire for each speaker through each relay. I use a sima speaker seletor with Impedance Protection powered by a pioneer reciever. And too be honest the difference...

Update: Plastic was the key. Now my wife and my "home" can yell at me to get the mail again. :-) Regards, Shawn
