Thanks for the information Rocco. I've decided to go with the ALC system because I think it will be easier than to try and convince the builder to homerun all the romex to a single location for the lights. BTW, Smarthome has the M1 serial port expander for $71.99. I think you can probably...

We need to install a lighting control system for a customer. It is new contruction so I am electing to go with a hardwired system so I don't get called everytime there is a quirk in a PLC or wireless system. I've been researching the board quite a bit and I have a pretty good feeling regarding...

What hardware do I need to purchase from centralite to get a litejet system working with my elk m1 gold. Any idea on price? Thanks, Holt

We are bringing in the cable guys to check out the cable boxes and cable feed. Thanks, Holt

We don't have a scope, but we replaced the cable box with a dvd player (left in the CAT V and the Muxlabs) and it worked perfect. Ran it for several hours and no problems. Is this an indication that the problem is the cable box or is there something different enough in the way the DVD player...

Is the sync signal superimposed on top of the component in some way. Can someone point me to a good explanation of the transmission technology. Also, are there any good testers that will help me diagnose the problem better than just try something and wait to see if it fails. Thanks, Holt

David, The grand opening got postponed due to issues independent of our install. The silverstone is sitting on a shelf in our rack and really looks great! When do you think the version with the "Ping fix" will be released? As far as the Q1's are concerned, I would have to say that we are...

We installed 4 PL5060N HP TVs into a lounge that we are doing the AV for. Here is a single TV's connectivity: From the Pace cable box we wire the component out to a MuxLab (component to cat5e video balun Part #: 500050). The cat5e runs (all runs less than 100 ft.) to an identical MuxLab...

Just an update: We ended up going with MainLobby to fix our problem. The people at Cinemar have been very helpful and we even contracted them to help us develop the scenes since we are under a time crutch. I will be developing the scenes myself on the next job. There is a bug that they are...

Just curious how MainLobby connects to the TS2 touchscreen. One of the cat5 pair running from the CAV6.6 to the TS2 is used for power and I'm guessing that the pc running MainLobby connects to standard touchscreens via ethernet. The TS2 does not use standard ethernet from my understanding...

We are installing a CAV6.6 into a lounge. We would like to be able to drive any of our 6 sources to any of 6 zones from a single keypad behind the bar so the bartender can have complete control of the entire system. We initially installed an UNO TS2 touchscreen, but we found out the hard way...

Thanks everyone for your responses. We went ahead and wired for outside keypads and are thinking about using WayneW's approach. But having wired the outside for both keypads and speakers covers us either way. I can always add the wifi approach later if needed now. Thanks again. This site is...

Hello all. I need some suggestions for a system we are installing for a customer. Here is an explanation of the deck: We have a customer that has a 3-teir outdoor deck. None of the decks are covered so everthing has to be weather proof. The flooring for the deck is all concrete. The sides...

Zang, Just curious what you recommend? Thanks.

Thanks for your reply. I never considered the ability to circumvent the 802.11, but this is a great point. I found another thread on cocoontech discussing the LukWerks system. This system uses power lines to communicate which I believe would be more secure. We are looking into using this...
