Ok, dug up my old computer and launched RP. When I try to connect via this machine I get the message "Could not initialize secure connection". Any hints on this issue. I hope im getting closer, only a few days until surgery, I would loved to have this resolved before then.

Wayne, Thanks. I have tried that quite a few times.

 Thanks RAL. I was hoping I was just missing something. Only have a couple of days to deal with this. Having surgery next week and heading to my other house for a few weeks to recoup. I guess i'm going to need a usb to serial adapter to connect directly to it. Oh I forgot, I do have the last...

Hi, I have an existing M1 working perfect for many years. Getting ready to close on the sale of my house and i'm having a few issues now(go figure). I have not touched the M1 in years. A black out a few weeks ago caused the clock to go to 00/00/00 12:00am. Now I have a new computer with Elkrp2...

Thanks all, I just received a simple 12VDC photo cell from eBay. I'm going to give that a try with no automation and see how it goes. After that i'll work on the automation. I still can always connect a relay to my CAI board to turn off remotely if needed.   Thanks Again,   Mike

Larry, thanks that's kind of what I thought. I was also looking at a simple Altronix timer, although I can't do dusk with that, a set time will not be the end of the world.   Any other ideas would be great,   Mike

Hi, I am wondering if a CAI Webcontrol board can be used for some simple automation of Led lights. Nothing fancy, I'm thinking of a few strips of led lights recessed into the bottom of the steps that will be going on our new front porch. I would like to have them go on at dusk and off a few...
