I'm considering doing the same thing, but just to clarify, do you need another relay on the elk to control the RIB? If so, what is the purpose of this relay and why is it not good to just wire the relay directly into an elk output? Thanks, Michael

I do know they make X-10 that works on 230V AC. I believe the company that makes it is called Marmitek. Here's their site... http://www.marmitek.com/ Hope this helps. I'm using Elk and X10 with absolutely no problems with a few filters on some appliances. Michael

Thank you so much! I was looking forever for it! Michael

Thank you! Michael

Does anyone know how to get the application that interfaces Russound with J.River (cav66.exe)? The links from J. River and AVSForum are all broken. Thanks in advance, Michael

I spliced my cable modem power supply into the elks 12v relay. Homeseer pings google every 10 min. If no response, it flips the relay off for 10 seconds which resets the cable modem. Michael

Dan, What model of dimmers are you using? Michael

Thanks for the explanation! It seems to be a more tidy way of doing it than an EVERY 30 SECONDS AND COUNTER > 0. By the way, what do you use for lighting now? I would like to switch to Z-wave but looking at all the stuff I would have to have to just get one Z-wave switch up and running, it...

I have a similar setup that uses a counter, but not an output. I have a rule that says whenever the counter is > 0 the send one decrement dim signal and subtract one from the counter. Is this a bad setup? I guess I am confused on what using the phantom output does for you. Yes, you are right...

I'm not sure if this needs to be in another post, but I thought I'd ask. I've got an x10 pro dimmer controlled by the Elk M1G with PSC05 that I would like to slowly brighten in a "wakeup" routine. It would increment one level of brightness every couple of minutes. I have tried to get a rule...

What motion sensors are you using in this setup? This is a nice way for dealing with occupancy! Thanks, Michael

Martin, Are you still recommending the XPCR for coupling or is there something better out there since this post? I'm testing out how X-10 will work in my house. I have a switch and PSC05 on the way from you. I also have some plugin modules. I want to test out how things work, but I'm...

What current sensor do you use?

These are the ones I have below. My guess is you are using the non-concealed door magnets. I'll try to get a rare earth magnet and see if that makes this contact any more sensitive. Thanks for the information. Door Contacts Michael

Dan, I know this post if from a long time ago, but what type of reed switch did you use for your dryer monitoring? I'm having trouble with my setup as the drum is spinning too fast for the reed switch to detect it. Thanks...
