Google greenbean module (posting from phone or I would link it) It interfaces with all GE appliances with the plug.

My new wonderful neighbors are crackheads who can't keep from stealing from people. I currently have an alarm system with motion sensors on the interior and motion sensors and a driveway sensor on the exterior. I also have cameras. The problem is that the exterior motion sensors are not...

I just moved into my new home and it has a Partially functional Nutone IMA-3303. The details... First the system seems to have a bad potentiometer. The system will play radio but I have to wiggle the master volume knob to get audio to play at all and it still occasionally goes out. Not the...

If you don't mind a wiring your own you could use two XBee modules. You can use the serial interface out of the box with little configuration and few IC's/resistors. They are fairly cheap (~$25 per node) and are very easy to use. How ironic would it be to connect to your Z-Wave Controller...

The GE Smartcom system integrates audio and intercom into a single keypad... I was testing/playing with it for a few minutes at a Parade of Homes showcase house before I was caught and it worked great. There is an interface to a "Smart commander hub" for control but I cannot find any...

This is all from memory...... (2 years) It's been a while since I had it working (my kitchen PC died) but at one point I used a barcode scanner to scan all grocery items coming and going into my house. I just used a script to enter barcode and search googles upc database and build a list of...

what's a VCR? ;)

I remember seeing a product at Ehxpo that would allow you to pull the wires through the modular plug and the crimper would cut the wires at the end. I have around 100 cables to wire up and this would save me lots of time. Does anybody know the name of the product and/or where I can get it?

I spoke with the sales rep at EHX and the price is significantly less for dealers - I think he said ~ $500.00. As for the zigbee protocol, Control4 is currently using a propietary Zigbee implementation but plans to become zigbee pro compliant by the end of the year. As a note - sales reps...

I quickly walked through the show this year and was quite disappointed. It was MOSTLY distributors and high end equipment. Things that caught my eye are: Leviton stated they will release the z-wave 3 speed fan controller early summer. Control4 said they are/will be Zigbee Pro compatible this...

I have a 3 panel sliding pocket patio door (glass). I initially wired up a magnetic surface mount switch which of course gets knocked off when I open the door. Are there any other methods/techniques for adding a sensor to the door. Wireless is ok - this is what I was thinking of using. I...

Not to steal the question - just to add to it. As with the windows how would I install a sensor on a sliding door with three panels. The doors are also pocket doors.

Everyone violates the generic TOS. A couple of examples: 1. Game servers (i.e. Call of Duty) 2. Homeseer 3. Internet Cameras 4. Windows Home Server As mentioned in the previous posts - don't worry.
