    iRobot vacuum cleaners

    Scooba specifically says NOT to use it on laminate, unsealed hardwood and unsealed stone flooring. It also says that vinegar/water mix can be used. There are also other cleaners that have been tested and work like Simple Green. Also, if you get the 5800 then the sensor that tests the cleaning...

    Automate a printer?

    Why, as long asa all the colors come out then the nozzles are clean. I just bought a color laser printer from dell to solve this problem.

    TIVO Raises Rates!

    I can't answer most of your questions, but I don't believe you would use SageTV as your MAIN tuner, so the lag would not be an issue.

    TIVO Raises Rates!

    Why would you need cablecard support if you get the DVR from the cable company in the first place?

    DLP and Standard Broadcast

    I don't think its a DLP thing, because a buddy of mine has a Sony SXRD 61" that looks HORRIBLE on SDTV. I think it is more likely a rear projection thing.

    Recommendations for outside temp sensor placement

    Rupp, maybe you could throw together a BSR style How-To. While it is not very technical, it would save us from having to reinvent the wheel so-to-speak.

    Z-Wave Issues

    I agree the SINGLE MAJOR FLAW of zwave has been instructions to get you through the learning curve. And it seems to be mfg. independant, I have both ACT and Intermatic stuff, all the literature sucks to say the least.

    IE7 is Now Officially Out

    I get pages that will load with IE6, but error out in 7 saying incompatible browser (or some major functionalty of the page is broke). So there must be some major revisions under the hood.

    Z-Troller™ Z-Wave® Controller/PC Interface

    Could we get some reports on the rediscover function? Once you get the network learned, move some plugin modules around and/or unplug all together and let us know the performance difference before and after the rediscover.

    Switch recommendation for z-wave

    I hope Intermatic puts their outdoor module 'guts' into a wall switch. I use one to control a box fan without any issues or hum. Of course, its still only on/off.

    Decent HA Weekend

    You just need to convice her that you have no need for a shed! And that is such a silly idea.

    Homeseer Resource Page

    Then, as I see it Blade has nothing to complain about (I am not saying he does, verbalized or impied). Blade, If you were to return your plugins to the updater and HS's payment method, at the price of your choosing, would this all go away and we can get back to automating as a happy family...
