Just about to start a new system install for a six unit multifamily apartment in a 1890 house. Tempted to wait but probably won't.

I recently found a few on ebay.

Yes, AlarmRelay would provide those services.

Pondering my options, I wonder if I can keep my C1M1 CDMA connected for control via eKeypad when I connect the Alula Bat module to the R1/T1 lines?

I've been very happy with Alarm Relay but with my C1M1 CDMA becoming obsolete with cell network changes, I'll need to change.  They don't support the new C1M1 modules and have asked me to utilize an Alula Bat module.  I'm just not ready to give up more control of my M1G.     Does anyone know of...

Just installed C1M1 after tiring with keeping a computer free of updates to communicate with XEP.  Alarm Relay got me up and running within 30 minutes.   I'm already missing the email notification in my rules but will explore what ElkLink has to offer.    I'm also missing the timeserver function...

4-12 hours.

I have been getting much info on this forum and will use this relay:   http://www.functionaldevices.com/pdf/datasheets/RIBTE01B.pdf   This will allow wiring to an output on my ELK M1G board.  I would also like to control with a timer on the wall to override the ELK programming if possible but...

I've been reading all the great posts on this forum concerning lightning protection and have an idea of what I need but thought I would just make sure.   I'm trying to protect my equipment from wires coming from outside the house.   The sprinkler valve selenoids are 24VAC and I was planning on...

Do you have a crawl space that is usable?  I got lucky with my recent remodel and found a centrally located crawl space with fair headroom for the structured wiring can, whole house amps and alarm system.     I've decided to place the AV equipment close to the viewing area for this house.  I...

After changing my modem/router combo, my email stopped working.  Using Google's DNS once again saved the day.  This seems to be so dependant on the router.  ASUS had no problems, Motorola and NetGear required Google's DNS.

What are the suggested power supplies for ELK-WSV? I will be connecting to my M1G using an external relay. Could I use a computer power supply (I have several to choose from) plugged into a UPS or should I purchase a new 12v power supply from AutomatedOutlet? As much as I love AO, it would...

ASRock Z68m-ITX/HD $120 8 gb memory $45 Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit $100 Media center remote and USB IR receiver $15 (the IR receiver that came with MB didn't work too well) Case, hard drive and optical drive found lying around my shop. Way harder to setup than Sage and not as stable, but...

Finally complete my HTPC, very happy with the final result. I would recommend assassin's HTPC blog, best $ spent on building an HTPC, you can even purchase an already built and formatted machine.

Almost 2 months later and finally gave up on Linux... Multiple attempts to get mdadm for the RAID failed... Multiple attempts to get MythBox add-on XBMC on the ATV2 to talk to MythTV backend server failed... I'm just not smart enough. Have decided to build a Windows 7 box as HTPC following...
