Well we (my family) built this house back in 1996.  I did not wire for security due to lack of foresight.  So I know quite bit about the structure and insulation.  The foam insulation was sprayed on the outer wall.  This is a 2x6 wall.  We filled most of the wall with foam but there should be...

I have a Ranch style home with an attic and some vaulted ceilings.  I have access to the attic but only in some areas (due to vaulted ceilings.  All exterior walls are spray foam insulation.  So I know most people would probably go wireless.  I really don't want wireless due to having metal...

So is it better to stack or place them side by side?

So I should be good to go with the 14X28 and a 14X42 cans. So are you guys, that have multiple cans, connecting the two cans using say pvc pipe?

Thanks for the response. SO the 34 X40 is a box framed into the wall the backer is OSB. I decided to keep that. It is the home for my home low voltage( cable, computer network, phone routers switches etc.). For possible HA, I am thinking of starting with the Leviton 14X28 can that I already...

So right now I am moving the low voltage from its current location to a media closet. I am framing the closet. I pulled out a 14" X 28" Leviton enclosure, can this work with the system? My thought process right now is purchase 2 42" Leviton enclosures. It sounds like the Leviton enclosures...

Can the "can" be surface mounted, rather than between studs?

Are your measurements in Width or Height or are you saying 28"W X 60"H? Thanks for sharing the info

I am planning a media room. I plan t have some sort of rack to store equipment and such. I will be purchasing either a Hai Omni or Elk. Along with the rack I have roughed in a ox into the media room wall. So I am wondering how much space I should alot for the Elk or HAI. I see the Elk...

Does the MSC400 use the same software(complete control) as the MX880? Right now I am currently using the MX880 in our bedroom, this is a plan for a new area/room in our house, so if there is a better implementation that I should consider, please suggest. I did program the MX880 but I am far...

I am currently remodeling a room into a Home theater/MP room. I have decided to control the lights using UPB. I am in need of a blackout shade to control light, so I selected one from the avoutlet. It is a roller shade witha somfy motor on it. I have not ordered the shade yet but am planning...

Thanks for the info. You have been very helpful. I like the idea of the ISY 99ir-pro. Especially since my first goal is home theater lighting and controlling it. It certainly does seem to be a difficult decision as to whether or not go elk or hai. Heck I was looking at ElkM1 gold prices...

I am wanting to start home automation. My two goals for now is a security system and lighting. Not to fast behind that I am going to integrate my theater control. I am looking at upb for lighting. I am deciding between the elkm1 gold and the omni pro. It seems a little confusing as to what...
