A couple more updates. I really can't say enough good things about the Logitech 700e that I mentioned previously. I have two running now and have never had an issue, and the picture is great. I plan to get at least two more. The only downside is that the IR doesn't project all that far, but...

I agree with this...Blue Iris is great (and cheap). Here is a prior post I did on my experiences with "cheap" cameras and software. I will say that Vitamin D sounds and looks very interesting, but useless to me without a web interface.

Digger - My Radio Shack had them at full price last Saturday when I checked and they wouldn't match the online prices. I even told them I would order online and choose the Ship to Store option only to be told that even if I did that, they couldn't give me one hanging on the wall...there would...

Another Update - Found a pretty decent outdoor IP camera. The Logitech Alert 700e. http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Outdoor-Sec...7206&sr=8-1 If you've looked at Outdoor cameras rated for cold temps, you know they can be pretty expensive. Although not full Megapixel, this camera, at 960x720 has...

[/list]Just want to give another quick update - the Blue Iris support team has added this camera as a supported camera and it works great. I've been using BlueIris with the IP540 for about 2 weeks now without a single hiccup. Mwave.com appears to be the only US distribution for this camera and...

Thanks for the feedback everybody. A couple of points: The Compro camera seems to be pretty stable. I haven't had any issues since after the first day and that could have been something I did. I still think the Compro camera is the best I've tried (but I've really tried the cheapies). The...

A little over two years ago, I got a new puppy and wanted to be able to watch him during the day while I was at work. I found the Panasonic BL-111A on Ebay and ordered one for about $130. I thought this little camera was one of the best things in the world. It let me watch him in his crate...

Thanks for the replys everyone. I did get a very similar response from Paul at Brultech: Your readings seem correct. The reason that the displayed current is so high is that it is summing both CT currents and using the 120V reference voltage to calculate true power. The actual line...

I am a current TED user transitioning to multiple Brultech ECM-1240s for more granular monitoring. I started with my subpanel since it is easier to get to and install everything. The sub-panel is 100AMP being fed from a 200AMP main panel. I am monitoring the sub-panel using Micro 100 CTs on...

This is what i use hooked to my Elk and reading the data through Homeseer....works great. I am also interested in a solution for monitoring gas usage.

I use this and it is perfect: Leiton Out of Sight Phone Mount Obviously you'd need to run power to this.

Thanks everyone. I kind of figured that this was going to be the answer, but hoped that there would be something easier. Sounds like an opportunity for someone to design a new kind of gang-box!

I've been searching high and low for an answer to this, but have come up dry. In order to use something like a ZWave scene controller, I'd like to add a fourth gang to my existing 3 gang switchbox. I have no problems with wiring any of this...that isn't the issue. What I can't figure out...

Awesome news. I have a couple ESS modules and would love them to be controllable via Homeseer. Ray has posted all of the Serial commands on his site so that should help quite a bit. http://www.hacs.com/essall.php

Exactly. I want my key presses to be silent, but still want the chime. This does not seem possible. I'm at work now, so can't check RP, but if I remember correctly, I could change the KP1 key beep volume in RP, but could not change the volume for either of the KP2s that I have. I had to...
