This is the 1-wire data logger that I am currently thinking of getting. http://www.welserver.com/ Hope this helps, Kenny

Do you have city water, or are you on a well?

Thank you for answering the question. I think I'll just stick with the 8AH battery, less chance of me messing anything up. :)

I have the same question as Wayne. Anyone know the answer? Thanks.

I've been thinking about doing almost the same thing. Do all of the devices that you wish to power with the UPS use some sort of plug in transformer? Are they the same voltage? I was thinking about using an Elk battery backup power supply since all of the devices I wish to power are 12V DC...

Under commercial software for the Mac OS X can you add EyeTV, and SageTV (open public beta).

I just bought a 45 foot and a 40 foot toslink cable from Blue Jeans cable. They work great. http://www.bluejeanscable.com/store/digital-audio/index.htm Hope this helps, Kenny

Any idea what uses less power, Apple TV or a intel based Mac mini?

If you end up using a system with switches in each room, vs. all loads controlled from a central location, try and use deep electrical switch boxes. You might also specify that the house is wired with the neutral in the switch location (no switch loops). Hope this helps, Kenny

You might also try and mount the conduits away from the studs so that if the drywallers miss when they nail or screw on the drywall they are less likely to hit the conduit.

Neat idea! It will be interesting to see how things shake out in the next few weeks with the AppleTV. Is Indigo available in Universal Binary? What about the Serial Bridge driver? From what I have read so far programs that are not UB can run very slow.

Thanks Steve. Can you tell us what you saw from PCS and SAI? Kenny

I received an email yesterday that said the Home Heartbeat system was finally available for sale.

You might want to call PCS lighting. I was told a year ago that they were working on a UPB switch that would dim a flourescent ballast. Hope this helps Kenny
