what type of phone system? i have a IP PBX with mostly SIP phones, which i can't really integrate relay into without voiding warrantees.

I am disappointed in the SageTV website they don't have any specification for their products up there. Screenshots look good however. I am going to test an AppleTV, i think that is the simplist solution, i have figured out the DVD ripping and conversion process into iTunes including coverart...

What about the Blackberry? and not only the touch. I think this it has a big market, unfortunately less consumer more business. Curt

Can you share some pointers that your Vacuum installer gave you? also any pictures of your window contacts would be great, i am having a tough time with pvc windows that have bug screens. no clearance for contact behind perimeter of screen where it needs to be.

Setnet is very competitive and helpful if you can't get the pricing you desire from AAR Tech. Plus, most if not all Elk is created in the USA so the border is breeze. I like a bus system for lighting control since i am tired of homerunning (old school technology) so many wires so that is why i...

I finally found a support document for the ALC / Elk interface Part # 364864-01. It was very had to find so enjoy. ALC / ELK interface installation manual Minor detail Tony, but your website has the wrong picture representing the 364864-01. In regard to scene switch triggered events on the...

Is it possible to trigger Elk rules from the ALC scene switches? ie electric blind control, or what ever....

Just recieved an email on these products. ipod eKeypad app eKeypad Plus Don't know anything about them but they look good. I would like a similar product for a Blackberry. Not really a fan of touch phones, it is hard for me to be without a keyboard after using the Blackberry 8830. However...

This has been a great post to read. i too have looked at both ALC and the i-line products, i will likely implement the ALC, the switches blend in (look the same as dumb toggles) but i am disapointed in the scene switches. They just look cheap, but i think they are the best solution on the...

slip, Where do you get them from? I haven't seen any smaller then the 5mm wide 26-14awg are there smaller ones? roll on your own you mean custom built ladder logic in a PLC for unlimited automation possibilities. I am actually designing a PLC (direct logic 205 i think) & Touchscreen HMI...

I would like to see support for multiple RS485 buses. This would allow me to run multiple buildings thru one central M2Gold system. The current 4000' limitation is a problem as i have building 900 feet away which eats up 1800 feet of the bus, plus a couple other runs to other buildings and my...

steve, i see on your sisters install there is a narrow full width plate just above the m1, is that a CV plate. I can't seem to find it. I assume the plate the XIN and XOVR are mounted to is the C-0309? Please correct me if i am wrong. thx

DJK, The project looks like a pile of fun. Out of curiousity why don't I see anyone use dim rail termination blocks that are used in the Commercial automation industry. I have used some of the Euroblocks, they are cheap but don't have flexibility in terms of jumpers and grounding. During...

Check out Automation Direct for the din stuff. They are quite reasonably priced. Examples of screwless din connectors/terminators I ordered a catalog and they sent out a could din terminator samples with it. Curt

Your right, I'm sure a relay is all I need. I just want a reliable solution with a good lifespan. These relays must be in a separate enclosure 50' from the M1. BSR, do you use relays? If so what brand and where do you get them from? Thanks for your help, Curt
