    Issue with Elk and UPB

    Thanks. And something tells me that SA would say it's an Elk limitation ;-) Are there any other workarounds then? I seem to remember a thread that I can't find now which described a way to have all of the transmitters send link commands to the Elk, and then the Elk would send different sets of...

    Issue with Elk and UPB

    Has there been any progress on this issue? It's annoying that the M1 incorrectly reports the status of my lights, but I'm considering using a UPB module to control my sprinklers and I definitely want to know when those are on or off. I haven't checked here in a while and was hoping there may...

    OnQ/Legrand/Greyfox Cat-5 Camera Module Stopped Working

    Romier, thanks. The power supply voltage read OK but I went ahead and replaced it with a 12V 1A adapter and it's back to working great now. Thanks for your help! Alan

    OnQ/Legrand/Greyfox Cat-5 Camera Module Stopped Working

    I have the cat5 camera module from OnQ Legrand (http://www.onqlegrand.com/products/CM1001) and it suddenly stopped producing any video output. The green power LED is pulsing/blinking about once per second. Can anyone suggest how I might troubleshoot this? I no longer have the manual for this and...

    Keypads as MBR Panic Buttons?

    I've had an extra 8-button UPB tabletop controller sitting on my bedroom nightstand that I've been thinking of using for this purpose. Now I'm extra motivated to make it work. I think I can program the Elk to watch for a sequence of links coming from the UPB controller and trigger a real and/or...

    ELK M1G & RCS TR40 thermostat error in Celcius

    Can't you change the spread in the TR40 installer settings screen? I think it is called Delta-something?

    RCS TR40 DOA or user error?

    Just want to say thanks to Automated Outlet and RCS for their great support. They ended up taking the unit back under warranty and sent a replacement w/in just a few days. I've got the new unit up and running and connected to my Elk and everything is looking great so far. :lol: :) :)

    Anyone know Shell HomeGenie?

    I thought Shell got out of that business a long time ago, almost right after they got into it. I believe it was a rebadged Xanboo system (?) -- same/similar as Motorola Homesight.

    gadspot question

    On mine I can go into the system settings and under "Record Setting" there is an Overwrite option. With this on, the DVR will automatically record over the oldest recordings so that you always have a full disk worth of the most recent recordings. You can also download individual recordings to...

    Anyone tried lagotek?

    I haven't used their system personally but I got a demo at their offices and saw some of the stuff they were working on. I was impressed with the technology but don't think their distribution model supports DIY if that's what you're looking for.

    Home intranet webpage?

    Most of the things you mentioned, aside from the home automation itself, don't really need to be hosted on your home network. I recently moved most of my hosting off my PC and onto a shared Linux server with 100GB of storage for $10/month. It comes with lots of software packages that can be...

    I've found it really useful for making professional connections. I'd be glad to network with folks here. My email address is my name ([email protected])

    UPB generation 2 dimmers, when?

    When you refer to the double-tap delay do you mean the delay between the time when the switch is pressed and the time when the signal is sent to the load, while it is waiting to see if a second tap is coming?

    Any Interest In Getting CocoonTech Shirts?

    If you did a hoodie I'd get one.

    It happened to me...

    Really sorry for you too; just glad that nobody got hurt. I still remember when I was 12 years old and my family's house was burglarized. They eventually caught the guy and his girlfriend months later -- miraculously he was pulled over for something else and still had a bunch of our stuff in his...
