I have 10 motion sensors, to simply and reduce the number of rules I want to use output 200 as the "global motion tracker"   So I have 10 rules like the following: WHENEVER Mstr Bedroom Motion (Zn 45) BECOMES NOT SECURE  THEN TURN Output 200 ON FOR 5 MINS, RESTART TIMER IF RUNNING   ....   Then...

  Can you please provide details on how you do this?

I'm going to use this to power off my Denon receiver (which will then power off my projector via the trigger wire). Thanks!   It has a very simple (yet powerful) TCP protocol that can be used to control basically every setting on the receiver. I currently use this on my Linux box via a cron job...

It ended up being more DIY work than I initially imagined (with several "WTF am I doing" moments), but it worked out. My career started out doing Adds/Moves/Changes on a Harris 20/20 phone system along with IT system administration work so pulling wire and using a punch down tool are something...

I'm about to move into my new home. It is around 12,000 sq ft and has 146 HAI switches in it. I did most of the low voltage wiring myself (uggh). I home ran everything into a cold storage room in the basement plus I have lots of empty conduit runs as well. The LV wire I have run includes: *...

Brian thanks very much for your input! I haven't gotten my OmniPro II yet. I do have 146 HAI switches (virtually every switch in my new 12,000 sq ft home) installed and I have being playing around with Upstart. I did see the existing 80%, 60%, etc links. What I've done so far is remove all...

Bob, Thanks for the 5.1 wiring diagram. I'll try and decipher it. If I have any questions I'll let you know. Quick question though, does that diagram incorporate whole home audio?

I'm right in the middle of wiring my new home. The insulation and drywall is going in in about 10 days. I'm just about done pulling 9000 feet of CAT6 and about 1000 feet of smurf tube for future proofing. Now I need to do the speaker wiring (which I haven't really done before). I've got 2000...
