I now see that there is a show light status option in the device configuration menu for each zwave device/light. It seems that Im only to enable instant status for up to 10 lights. Im assuming that is due to a time when most zwave switches had to poll to provide a real-time status and 2gig didnt...

Over the weekend I added to my roughly 5 year old home control/automation (Zwave) system that is being controlled by a 2GIG controller via alarm.com. I purposely purchased Leviton Zwave switches to control fans as Ive had luck with them in the past for motor loads and they also support instant...

I finally was successful at adding both Aeon minimote remotes (controllers) to my 2Gig Z-Wave controller. While my learnings are fresh, I thought I'd list them out to save a few headaches in the future for anyone needing to do the same. In fact, I may have to reference this post in the future...

I recently purchased 2 Aeon Z-Wave Mini-motes (V1). I've been able to pair them both with my Z-Wave controller (2Gig) successfully and set them up as a secondary controller. When I attempt to add devices (GE light switches and Leviton Fan controllers), a very odd phenomenon is occuring. One of...

Looking to add HD PowerView RollerShades to my master bedroom. Looking for past experiences from anyone who has purchased and using the product. Thanks in advance!

I found this one for a very reasonable price. Thoughts? http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01AKCPEHG/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1462283999&sr=8-2&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=z-wave+water+valve&dpPl=1&dpID=41yKM2u5FCL&ref=plSrch Also, still looking for recommendations for Z-Wave water sensors. Need ~15.

Thanks Al! I have gas heaters. Does your main water valve turn off everytime you leave or only when a leak is detected. If the latter, what type of sensors do you have? Are they Z-Wave?

Looking for suggestions for a Z-Wave water valve. Preferably, I'd like to install a Z-Wave device to control my existing 1" ball valve versus having to redo the plumbing. I was planning on having the main water valve shut off every time the alarm is armed away but I'm hear that may cause damage...

Thanks for the info guys. I'll considering getting a new system if I must. However, I'm trying to limit my expenses if at all possible. Here is a picture of the back of my monitor that is no longer working. Is it possible to buy something like this these days...or is it completely out dated...

After doing some research, it seems a monitor with RJ-11 inputs will be quite expensive ($600 or more). A monitor with BNC inputs seems to be considerably less ($150ish). Therefore, if I opt to purchase a monitor with BNC inputs (I've only seen monitor with up to 2 inputs), how do I connect 4...

You are indeed correc, I meant the black input. I'm looking for a monitor with 4 of these inputs at a minimum and 8 preferably (for future capacity). Any suggestion on where I can buy one would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Just saw Castle OS featured on Epic Tech Homes on the Discovery Channel. The home they showed utilizing Castle was Chris's parents home. I must admit it was very interesting and would love to have Castle running my home automation! Nice job Chris!

Sorry, didn't attach the pictures. Here they are (is the green input BTW):

My monitor went out on my Samsung security system. It seems it has a unique video-in input as can be seen in the attached picture. Does anyone know where I could purchase a monitor with a video input such as this? Thanks in advance!

Just found this product that fits my needs: http://2gig.com/products/ts1-touch-screen It has the option to be tan on AA batteries which makes it mobile. Has anyone ever used one of these in conjunction with their 2gig?
