I just got a ducted unit installed too. It is controlled by the MHK1 as well. I also have second zone with a wall hung, but that is controlled by a different wireless remote(IR I think). Anyways I am getting my ELK installed soon. So am interested in whst you find out.

Thanks for the info. A couple questions for follow up. Can you remotely check status or control the normal Schlage locks, if so which model. Also I thought I read that a couple people were having a terrible time with the batteries, but can't find it now. Do the Schlage handle preload on the...

Been reading a bit about electric strikes, mag locks, electrified handleset, card readers, etc. I have gotten myself turned around several times and am confused on what setup would meet my needs. I figured it would be best to post the features I want in a system then let you all help me...

My thoughts on sources which can be adjusted/compromised based on advice here: Family of 6 Ipod/mp3player input incase we want to listen to a guest's library 4-6x computer sources for music library, internet radio, podcasts, cd player or whatever 3x external HD/satellite radio 4-6x audio...

I am looking to put together a whole house audio distribution system. I have been doing a bit of research and it appears based on all of my wants for features at a low budget I will need to do a lot of integrating more basic components together. My main goal for posting is to make sure I...

I am looking to do the same thing, but I do not have a water meter currently at my house (on well). What meter do you have and what sensor did you end up using to get enough output for the Hobby Board dual counter. What modifications did you end up making to Ed Cheung's process to improve it...

Desert_AIP thanks for taking the time to post pictures of your setup. It is pretty much exactly the finished look I am going for. Unfortunately for me if I get the same type of parts you did, I will bust my budget. With that said hopefully with help from this forum and I can trade my time for...

DEL I have seen the Altronix stuff and they do have pretty solid looking solutions for generation and distribution of low voltage. Like you mentioned about homebrewing dimming and using trimpots for adjustment, I didn't see any all in one solution for my application. pete_c and fwd03 could...

I am looking to install LED accent/task lighting in my kitchen and laundry/utility room. I think I have settled on the flexible strips with SMD 12V LEDs that you stick on. These are low profile, sort of directional, and should be hidden from direct view by the cabinet lips and edges and they...

I am a bit late on this topic, but having been playing with a server motherboard at work that has IPMI 2.0. You can remotely log into the machine and control any of the power on/off functions as if you were standing next to it. You can also load CD/DVDs or Floppies even if the machine doesn't...

Thanks again for all the suggestions. I am planning on documenting the build and will post if I have any more specific questions.

Thanks to everyone who has taken time to reply. As I hoped several good suggestions have been made and things I need to research a bit more. Neurorad - Thanks for the conduit idea I hadn't thought of that. The bath has interior non-load bearing walls that will make it easy to get from attic...

All, Thanks in advance for reading this long post. I have done a lot of lurking but this is obviously my first post. Background: I am doing a complete remodel of a bathroom and wanted to run some of my plans by everyone to see if I am missing something and just get your thoughts in general...
