    GC-100 Issues

    FYI, It is $35 flat fee for all units sent in, I think max of 10 at a time.  I had bought 5 used off of ebay, and sent all 5 in for total cost of $35.

    Water flow switch - shower to control ceiling fan

    I do something a little simpler. I put a wireless door sensor at the top of the glass door, not very noticeable to most. Wrote program for Omnipro to turn on exhaust fan when "ready". Then to turn off 5 minutes after "not ready". We leave the door open when not used.

    Fingerprint access control for daycare

    Our Daycare uses a wall mounted touchscreen w/ individually assigned codes. It logs the kid in/out and messages for the parents are displayed on it. Then it triggers the door strike to release. Not sure what the software is. But a quick google search shows there's quite a few programs...

    Help laying out system - Commercial

    For my office, I have an old receiver that I connected to a Niles VCS HUB8 which then distributes the audio to about 6 pairs of speakers. I use Phoenix Gold VMT100 volume controls in each room so I can turn down the volume if needed. I have my receiver next to a PC and stream an internet radio...

    Anyone using Next Alarm with a HAI C3 as backup?

    From my experience I was not able to get it to work. The C3 would constantly use the SIM card instead of sending it through the ABN. When I would remove the SIM card, then it would utilize the ABN. I had checked all connections and HAI couldn't help troubleshoot and said it could only be used...

    Size Matters! (UPB Switches)

    I am having the same problem, which made me temporarily stop my UPB installation. They can almost squeeze in, so I was thinking I may be able to trim off those curved edges on one or both sides to allow it to fit, then tape the edges the prevent anyone getting cut. As you can tell, I am also...

    Forgive me if I'm completely green on this subject - irrigation

    Thanks for clarifying. I'll give it a look this weekend. This can help me procrastinate with CQC even more

    Forgive me if I'm completely green on this subject - irrigation

    I also use a Rain8Net w/ serial connection. I had my landscaper bring the wires into the basement and then we hooked up everything directly. Currently I'm using the standard version of McsSprinklers w/ plans of eventually transitioning to jkish's templates in CQC. The limitations of...

    upgrading from 'well water' to 'municipal water'

    The house we tore down had a well. When we rebuilt we connected to city water but kept the well. City said we should do what the county tells us, and the county told us to do what the city told us....so we kept it. Our well was old and producing a lot of iron (stains), so I have the well...

    Controlling New Comcast Box with Secu-ir

    I was going to add two of mine in this weekend with the USBUIRT. Did you connect this by connecting the emitters out of the back of the UIRT? Or did you connect a 3.5mm cable directly into the IR in port on the DTA boxes?

    OPII beep with loss of phone line

    I had the same issue when I had it hooked up to my VOIP service. I ended up getting the ABN router to connect to NextAlarm and have no issues now. I didn't want to turn off the notification as it's important to know if someone was trying to cut the line.

    Water Cooler recommendations

    I've gone through a few and found that most are poorly built and some break down sooner than others. I end up buying mine through costco, usually for around 150 or so. When it breaks, I exchange it for a new one, with their lifetime policy. I have the Vitapur one right now and works well...

    Video and Audio Distribution Design Help

    That AB3.2 is nice. I have installed a SRM2.1 from Russound (http://www.russound.com/srm2.1.htm) which requires a 12v trigger from the CAV system. Problem with it is my Compoint intercom doesn't trigger the switch, so I had to install their small 1 gang speaker. I may get this AB3.2 and...
