what software do i need to control the Hobby Boards 8 Channel I/O (8 Relay Version) [8CIO8-R1-A] relay board? Can i control from HS scripts? I want to use it to control on/off of 12V power supply to CCD cameras from HS. Has anyone done this with this relay?

Eric - thanks for getting back to me so quickly! and thanks for helping to resolve my problem. Good Service! /Jim

I think we've found the problem. It seems that the DS9097U-009 is not a direct replacement for the DS9097U-S09....so the software is not compatible. Does anyone know who the contact at Hobby Boards is? /Jimboat

I need to speak with someone at Hobby Board. Does anyone know a telephone contact number? (I have a problem with a recent order). /Jim

thanks.... Eric - any idea what might be causing my script error in the line Set access = CreateObject("owapi.OneWireAccessProvider") ??? /Jim

Can anyone help? I am having trouble with the script that gets my temperature readings from my 1-wire network. everything has run flawlessly for over 2 years, until my DS9097U failed and i replaced it. The new adapter reads the temps fine using the Dallas TMEX i-Button Viewer, but the HS script...

In order for me to take advantage of my Homeseer/X10 security system, my insurance company requires a "installation certificate". Is there such a thing as a "standard" alarm certificate or security certificate, used by people like me, that installed the system themselves? /Jimboat

EXCELLENT THREAD! I am interested in how you finally got your measurement working for your Water Softener. Most softeners are run by low voltage (12V or 24V) transformers that run a timer or electronic servo system. How did you do it? I would like to measure when my Water softener is...

I have a question for all of you RF experts. Does the choice of materials affect (improve/degrade) the performance of the antenae? For example, will 1/8" rod work better than 1/16" rod? Will copper work better than brass? Also, when using the antenae for a transmitting cm19a (to control...
