Wired magazine wrote an article about this camera last year:  http://www.wired.com/reviews/2012/02/lytro-camera/

Has anyone heard or read of a next-gen Elk in development?

dgage,   Great write-up.  Thank you for documenting here.  I'm one of the many who are evaluating RadioRA2 over an Insteon system.   Lutron seems to highlight the ability to create lighting scenes rather than individual light controls.  It looks like your keypads are set up as essentially...

I used Honeywell 944T contacts that I think you recommended, DEL! Mine are all-wood, double-hung windows installed in new construction and these worked well. I ran 22/4 wire (only used two of the four on these) to both top and bottom sashes, daisy-chaining groups of windows (e.g., both windows...

I took your advice and bought about four dozen of these to wire my all-wood double-hung windows throughout my house. I also bought the corresponding 3/4" sensors for my wood doors. We're in the middle of a major remodel so most walls are open and accessible. This is my first time installing...

Hey tisserda, I found your thread today and was struck by how similar it is to a project I have underway: same Swann D1, same number/type of cable drops, etc. I haven't commited to the Elk yet, but I'm preparing for it. I'm about 1/3 of the way through my wiring and the first lesson learned...
