    Random "Events" Occurring: HAI Omni LTe

    I've been experiencing a similar issue recently.  One of my two consoles is doing this.  Further, that console no longer beeps when I open an entry door or arm/disarm the alarm, but it DOES beep when I press keys on the keypad.  I did a RAM reset and that helped for a while but then the issue...

    Motion sensor loop issue

    We'll see if it stays fixed, but it appears the problem was the EOL resistor.  It's not really EOL - I just have it in series at the panel end.  I had screwed down the contacts on both ends a month or so ago, but I just looked at the resistor and it looked fine - I didn't twist it tighter (I...

    Motion sensor loop issue

    I've debated doing just that, but they are definitely getting harder to find.  And I love the phone comment (I'm of the right "vintage" to appreciate it ;-)). I'm still running a board with a ROM (no flash) so that's another reason it would be nice to upgrade.

    Motion sensor loop issue

    I was wondering (but hoping not) if I might be experiencing the same thing with stretching.  The other issue I've run into just recently is that the double-sided tape holding some of the contact magnets in place gave out.   But issues like this aside, I'm still super happy with the OP2 (I've...

    Motion sensor loop issue

    Excellent.  Thanks very much for the response (and super fast too!) Pete.  :)  I'll try those things as soon as I get time, and report back.   My other motion sensors are also in the 147-8 range when secure.  For what it's worth, I was watching the loop value as I was writing my original post...

    Motion sensor loop issue

    I have a motion sensor that's been giving trouble alerts for quite a while.  I finally found some time to try to fix it.  The loop value is currently reading in the high 150s to low 160s when secure.   This is a 14 year old installation, and all the other motion sensors and contacts are fine. ...

    OmniPro II UPB problem

    Last year I helped a friend install an OmniPro II in his second home.  He recently wanted to add some basic UPB functionality so I got him the parts he needed, helped him program and test the modules (using UPStart), and sent him on his way to install them (we also connected remotely to the...

    Special Brultech ECM-1220.H offer to cocoontech members.

    I just finished installing my ECM-1220. In playing around with the Lite software I occasionally see a "POLAR error" message. Does anyone know what this means? -- Dave

    HAI 3.0 Firmware and PC Access Out

    Apparently this only happened on the first open after the upgrade. I've open the file (and other files) several times since and it's only taken a few seconds. -- Dave

    HAI 3.0 firmware

    I've found what I think are a few minor bugs. Should I post them here or should I send an email to HAI support?

    HAI 3.0 Firmware and PC Access Out

    FYI - it turns out that I have the most recent video drivers available already installed.

    HAI 3.0 Firmware and PC Access Out

    I just upgraded and I have the same thermostat issue. I have six RC-80B stats and they are numbered 1-6. All three temperatures are showing 0 for all stats (and they never change). Likewise, all stats are showing "OFF, FAN AUTO, HOLD OFF" even though they are all in AUTO mode as well. If...

    UPB weak signal

    To me it's a matter of degree. I've had plenty of bad experience with X-10 as well (I started using it in the late 70s when Radio Shack started selling it!). I had far more issues with X-10 than I have had with UPB. Even with the extremely low signal levels I'm seeing on some of my devices I...

    UPB weak signal

    This is a very interesting post! My house is quite similar to yours - 3600sf, same phase coupler, very similar UPS. In my case the UPS and the PIM are about three feet apart although they are on different circuits. I've got two SAI ZNF10A-P noise filters coming tomorrow and I'm going to use...

    UPB weak signal

    I have a pretty good background in electronics and I understand what you are talking about. I also have a very good parts store about 10 minutes from my house so I can probably get anything I would need there. In my case though I have no noise on the line so I'm going to try the filters on the...
