    Extra Long Magnets

    Thanks. I am worried with using the two magnets, one at open point and one at closed, is if the window is open and someone wants to close it, they won't disarm the system before closing window.

    Extra Long Magnets

    I remember seeing something about this awhile ago, and I have tried google and also searching this forum with no luck. I am looking for long magnets that can be used with the wireless sensors on windows so that I can open the window to a certain point while the system is armed and not trigger...

    120 V Hardwired Smoke to Use with Elk

    I really appreciate everyone's response in this thread. Since I haven't had my smokes connected to the panel, I figure that if I do hook it up to the panel, and on the very small chance it doesn't work, and trigger the panel, as long as I get all of the other units to go off, and we all get out...

    120 V Hardwired Smoke to Use with Elk

    I have to say that this conversation is getting really confusing. I see some posts where the 350CX is a good detector, then others that say they aren't. The 350CX do seem to be higher priced that other 120v detectors, not that this means anything, but in most situations higher price means a...

    After posting this I started looking around the internet more and I fond an article that showed using the Kiddle smoke detectors and also a Relay module for smoke alarms. This relay module gets installed just like another smoke detector and then has contacts that can be hooked ino the alarm...

    I presently have 120 v hardwired smoke detectors in my home that I would like to hook into my elk m1 system. Currently when one goes off, they all go off. Does anyone know of a detector that I can use with this setup? Thank you.

    Homeseer / Schlage Lock Issue

    I am wondering if your problem is the Event: Device Z-Wave Z-Wave Interface Child 7 Alarm value becomes equal to User Code 1 Entered WHEN If the value is set to 1 like it is in your step 1 & 2, then it will stay equal to 1 until you change it. So the event won't trigger on the next entering of...

    Controlling New Comcast Box with Secu-ir

    I had to get the new Digital Transport Adapter (DTA) from comcast because they are doing away with their analog signal. I am trying to get the IR to work with the secu-ir16 with no success. Has anyone been able to get this to work? Is there a "special" trick that I need to use? I used the...

    [Articles] Homeseer Technologies to charge for technical support

    I was trying to say basicly the same thing. Hell I have asked tons of questions in the various forums and the answers have ranged from the very helpfull to the one line reply of search first. I am guilty of asking things without searching first, but I have started searching first and then asking...

    [Articles] Homeseer Technologies to charge for technical support

    I think that brings up a whole nother issue of people not searching before posting a question. 99 times out of 100 the question probably has already been aswered. But if not, at least by reading some of the posts it would narrow down the scope of the question.

    How To Arm with Open Windows

    That's an interesting option, I will have to search for them. I will also contact Automated Outlet about the magnets. I was just on their new website and not too many parts were coming up, and I couldn't log in to check on my account so I will wait until tomorrow and see what happens. Thanks.
