    Need VPN for foreign travel

    VPNs are illegal in China and most don't work. That's not to say you can't use one that works, but you are risking breaking the law in a communist country. Foreigners are arrested for spying, so use a VPN at your own risk.

    High Pressure Mist Cooling Systems

    First, yes, this is a post from 18 years ago, but for anyone reading... First, you need to plan out your installation, determine how many mist nozzles and that will size your pump. Then you buy the right size pump. The variable speed ones are two the price and aren't needed. Buy a pulley pump...

    Is there a wired UPB relay that allows for double pole?

    You can use a 120V motor contactor. Its basically a 120V relay. Motor Contactor They aren't that expensive but they need to be in a electrical box. You never want to control a 220/240 device with a separate control for each leg. That is against code and dangerous.

    Pete's Blog $13 voice assistant for Home Assistant

    You got me thinking. I used to use Homeseer to "speak" things with TTS. I had speakers in all my rooms, each with a mini amp. Even had one for the front porch. Then I had this audio switch where I can send it ascii commands and it determines which room the voice would play in. I had a package...

    Omnipro II, PCAccess, Snap-Link

    PCAccess works on Windows 10, not sure about 11. Snaplink does run on the latest iPhone and iOS, mostly. Snaplink needs to have a direct link to the lan the Omni runs on, it doesn't connect to a cloud like many programs today. So when your phone is on the WiFi on the LAN the Omni is connected...

    Improving streaming stick performance and eliminating buffering

    I always use a wired adapter with my FireTV sticks. Of course, easier said then done. 5GHz is better than 2.4GHz BUT range is must less. Its less crowded and faster, but 2.4GHz speed should be plenty fast enough. I monitor all my traffic from FireTV sticks, and it took me months to figure out...

    HAI ZIM and Zigbee Omnistat

    So I would recommend to pair with the ZIM directly, not using PCAccess. And make sure the ZIM is very close to the thermostat. I think pairing with PCAccess should work, but again, the ZIM needs to be very close to the thermostat. If you pair just the ZIM, make sure you write down the pairing...

    Can not connect to my OmniPro II

    I'm amazed by that. Leviton has techs that know about the OP2? You can still occasionally find boards on eBay when they are taken out of service.

    Omnipro II and UPB PIM

    Your work replicates mine and I never got it working, which explains what I said in post #2.

    Omnipro II and UPB PIM

    If you can get it connected to UPStart, I think there is an option in UPStart to toggle it from one mode to another. The HAI only can us a serial PIM with a special cable, and I've never gotten a non-HAI PIM to work. Most PIMs are USB, so that won't work with HAI, so get a serial PIM. Your PC...

    Omnipro II and UPB PIM

    Technically you can use one for both, but in practice its a bad idea. The OMNI and the PC each use a different mode for the PIM, and while you can switch modes back and forth, its a bit tricky. So I would recommend getting two PIMs. Get the HAI PIM and HAI cable for the OMNI, then any other PIM...

    Port forwarding

    Here is what a few hours of these break-in attempts are. Not all of these are "hackers" many are scanners, which I don't allow either.

    Port forwarding

    Sometimes true, but I can assure you that the number of people that are attempting to break into your OmniPro II is no greater than zero. If someone should ever stumble on the Omni port they will have no idea what it is or how to break into it. I think your fooling yourself if you think hackers...
