picta, Yes I have tried Zwave at home.  Although I do not have any light switches, I do have 3 locks and sensors and light modules. In my wife business office, I installed Zwave for all lights, locks and sensors (a total of 35 devices or so).   In both cases, I have found the devices to be very...

I built my current home 9 years ago and adopted the OPII and UPB technologies. I will say that it the system has been very reliable but the lack of innovation has finally gotten to me. Analog cameras work well too but I would buy IP cameras today instead for the same reason. A few months ago...

Thank you! Yes, will use the Vizia 15 Amp switches. They just came in and will be installing today. Thank you all for your advice.

Thanks for the help guys. Looked up the Leviton VRS-15-1L switch.  Here are the specs: Resistive, 1800W, 15A Incandescent, 1800W Fluorescent 1800 VA Inductive, 1800 VA It seems that this switch would work. Should I go with the 1880 VA for fluorescent? I know I should have paid more attention...

I am a residential HAI/UPB user but I chose to install a 2Gig panel in my wife's business for its simplicity and because we have Zwave locks in every office for security reasons (meaning Zwave was the chosen technology).  The automation requirements are minimal from what I am used to at home so...

To stay with Leviton/HAI is a big dilemma for me. I am an 8 year OmniPro/UPB user who is drafting plans for a new house and I am seriously considering moving on to other systems/protocols. This is sad because I have been very happy with the performance and reliability of the HAI/UPB combination...

Ability to synchronize (favorites, camera settings, etc.) all of your devices.

The least I can do for a fellow Mad Fox :rofl:

Yep, I am  an almost exclusively HAI guy but I have to say that I've been wondering in the last few months about the lack of software upgrades and what that means in general.  For example, it is almost April and the 2012 catalog is still being shown in their website (no 2013).  HAI used to...

Interesting. New modules for several HA systems... http://www.iruleathome.com/

Has anybody tried this yet? Search for HAI4U in the app store.

Yes, I see that now. Should have paid more attention. I guess I will install this bad boy at the beiginning of the run (indoors). Thanks!

Any ideas on how to weather proof this thing for outdoor use? http://www.homeauto....e_TechSheet.pdf I will be using this to control a pool pump. My electrician seems to think that it is outdoor ready but I am not buying it. Also, any suggestions on how to automate the pump's manual...

PaulB, Thank you for the response! I kind of suspected that so I actually tested the VRCOP with and without the ^M. Automated outlet is sending me a new one for testing so I will wait to see what happens. AO has been very helpful so far. This cut and paste from an email to AO describes my...
