BSR was that flexible tube comment for me or did I miss something reading this from my phone?

As I said above the center cap does not go straight down into the tank. That would be a good option if it did, or I was going to replace the existing gauge totally. However I want to also keep the existing gauge. I think read switches and a magnetic on the float gauge(outside the tank) would...

  The pipe closest to me is the fill pipe which goes outside, in the center is my gauge and the farthermost pipe is a vent pipe which goes outside.   The center gauge has that a cap on the side of it, but it does not go straight down so unless it would work by just changing the cap(which If I...

Ahhh thanks for the information, with a caped fill tube and the sensor somehow above that, then you may have a solution, (and I am looking for one also) except in my case the tank is vented through a separate pipe further over on the tank and I do not have any other place I could put the sensor...

oil tanks are not under pressure so I'm unsure as to a pressure sensor in the fill line would be adequate for what you are looking to do

I have pondered this a couple times, and one of my options I have come up with is just using the existing float style gauge in the tank, add a small magnet to the vertical level indicator and some window contacts at each level I want to sense.  however this is a small 2 inch gauge and would need...

And I think I paid $15 on ebay for one of these

I thought of something hybrid when it was time to get my last car/suv, but I have heard all the "stories" of good Samaritans or EMS not being able to help out in an accident because they had to wait for fire rescue to cut power or remove the batteries... but again those are just stories and I...

No that could also be automated depending on how the "channels" are configured. With more relays you might be able yo switch channels too Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk 2

I agree with fwd03, the best way to interface with RF devices is by opening the remote and adding a relay across the button contacts

I disagree with this statement, I use chrome and OWA (now called outlook web app in exchange 2010) and it works flawlessly. So I am assuming from you calling it Outlook Web Access you are talking about an earlier version, most likely 2003. And a MXlookup of cocoontech.com shows who is hosting...

maybe more devices at lower prices???

Ya I know they do.... you were pre occupied and this is better then the current solution of a 1.544 mb T1 to get data "across the street" and I cad put Tue unifi fw on it to monitor it with the rest of my apps. Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk 2

I saw this on their site last night while getting more information on the picostation (I ordered 2 to become a wireless bridge) and thought I wonder if they will release an API or SDK for these to tie into our HA software

Digger Just clarification as I read this differently 30 mA for the unit in alarm and 12 ma all other in the loop. Does this mean if a second and third go into alarm then it would be 30 * 3 and the rest at 12 mA (standby current) if so, I would consider the 30 mA * total number of sensors =...
