+1 on the EX RJ45. I also got a cable tester to check each cat5 after i attached the plugs.

i use aprilaire, elk and cqc to control my hvac system.

+1 on the ethernet adapter. your system looks a lot like mine...elk, cqc, aprilaire. i just us elk battery for ups. do you have doorbell detector or telephone call detector. these are two events that you may want to use as triggers for other actions.

dan, the spdif limitation was pointed out on slysoft forum where i was checking for drm issue. if i can get everything worked out i'll probably put a visio drawing together like i do on most of my setups. that way i can remember what i did.

petec, i'm open to all help. u have pm with my email address. did some more research and it appears that using s/pdif out of my ati mobo is not sufficient to carry TrueHD audio and hence i hear silence. now i'm trying to figure out how to get TrueHD downgraded to something i can hear (DD?) or...

so, based on dan's comment, i was able to get TMT to display the audio signal for each language & director's cut. for all the languages that i cannot hear, the audio is Dolby TrueHD. for all the ones that i can hear, the singal is Dolby Digital xxxkbs. looks like my issue is being able to...

Something has gone wrong with my HTPC setup and now blu-ray video plays fine but not the audio. This setup used to work but i tweaked something (maybe an upgrade?) and now i'm having problems. Here are some specifics: Ops sys: XP Blu-ray player: Arcsoft TMT (latest Version: 2.2.6.129) AnydvdHD...

thanks for feedback. i'll first try swapping the order of the rules. if this works then i'll try to figure out how to set the alarm directly from cqc. i think i would use an InvokeCmd function but i'll investigate tomorrow.

i am looking to improve the control of my home alarm and could use some help on programming a rule. as background, i built a rule in elk-rp that said at midnight arm night instant and at 6a disarm. this worked fine until one night when i was out of town and my wife asked how to keep the alarm...

Looks like you are refering to the CheaperRFID Receiver driver, correct?

this is an interesting solution and raises a few questions. does this require a cqc driver or connect thru the M1? based on your description it sounds like programming could be setup such that when the car returns home the alarm can be disarmed and the door could open automatically. am i...

i currently have my M1 automatically arm my house at midnight in case we forget to turn on alarm. i ran into an unforseen issue this weekend when arriving home after midnight and lacking a way to disarm the house before opening the garage door. while i haven't researched in depth, i am pretty...

FWIW, i use 4 8870's, cqc and elk. once i got everything working it has been rock solid.

if all you want to do is have elk announcements come thru the cav, the viking is unncessary. i tried doing using the autosensing feature for triggering a page on the cav and was not satisfied. announcements would get clipped at the beginning and end. hence, i use a combination of the 12v...

check this http://www.cocoontech.com/forums/index.php...aging&st=45 thread out. my doorbell, paging and elk announcements are broadcast to whole house via cav6.6
