Darn it! Those were my last two RJ11 ends....Will give it a try tonite if I can buy them asap. Sounds like a very plausible reason. Nowhere could I find a specification about the M1's J2 pinouts while on the other hand, the X10Pro PDFs clearly described the 4 wires. Thanks all!

Hi folks, I hope this is some basic problem I have but can someone tell me how to get the PSC05 to work? I made and continuity-checked a 4 wire straight thru cable, hooked it up from J2 to the newly purchased PSC05. The light is on constant and stays constant while I execute various simple...

Hello people, I'm trying to avoid installing a keypad to open a pedestrian gate. I see a way that a user can dial in, receive a voice acknowledgement, an output turns on for the electrified lock, but is there a way for the system to immediately disconnect the user so that they don't get "Press 0...

I like it already! It seemed so easy "even a cave man could do it."

Forgets, I like the minimalist mounting style and the pc at last resort philosophy. I think that was an ELK speaker just outside the cabinet if I am not mistaken. I enjoy the DIY shots on this board too. Looking forward to more shots.

Mini splits are also far more popular here compared to central aircos I would choose an Ocelot too as ELCANO mentioned. However, I did my small apartment (2 fedders and an LG) on the cheap using a USBUIRT with 3 zones and Eventghost (great free app) so that all 3 split units are independently...

Thanks for the feedback guys. Steve: The Omni is great, nothing wrong with it but you asked about price, so consider the whole picture. After I posted, I too thought about the free upgrades. I also did more reading as to which software is free with HAL and what is dealer only. That had me...

I've also been leaning towards making ELK M1 my choice for controller. But I can't help but wonder about the initial price difference that people talk about (compared to the HAI OMNI). If you spec'd out an M1 with additional modules to equal the extra functionality of a 'stock' HAI, is the...

Thanks for the info. From what I see on the site, those seem pretty bulletproof but I'd have to liase/order directly with them since there's no representative for here.
