I have the cat5 camera module from OnQ Legrand (http://www.onqlegrand.com/products/CM1001) and it suddenly stopped producing any video output. The green power LED is pulsing/blinking about once per second. Can anyone suggest how I might troubleshoot this? I no longer have the manual for this and...

So I finally got up the guts and the time to try installing the TR40 that's been sitting in my closet for the last few months. I was particularly sensitive about screwing something up and leaving my family without heat so I actually read and re-read the instructions several times before even...

Here's an interesting new product which may have promise as a front-end for home control / automation. I guess price will be a big factor. From http://www.ehomeupgrade.com/entry/3494/emt...hnologies_preps :

I've always wondered why something like this didn't already exist: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-12760_7-96730...l?tag=cnetfd.mt This would be great for truly wireless devices like WiFi cameras and RF sensors.

I am trying to monitor my home phones status (on/off hook) with my M1G + Homesser. I have the following rules in my M1G: Whenever telephone line off/on hook goes off hook then turn telephone (out 3) on Whenever telephone line off/on hook goes on hook then turn telephone (out 3) off...

I've been looking around for a dedicated network-capable DVR to replace my PC video surveillance system and just found this GadSpot GS760 for $169 (w/out hard drive): http://www.gadspot.com/product_info.php?products_id=84 This almost seems too good to be true. I read through the owner's manual...

Saw this on Engadget this morning and thought it looked cool: http://www.auroramultimedia.com/?product=w...d6&section=desc

Saw this on Engadget today. Doesn't look like it has a touchscreen, but it comes with a remote control and runs WinCE. For $380 if it runs HA clients like ElkRM, CQC, HouseBot, etc it could be a very nice in-wall control. Features Windows CE 5.0 Operating System Compatible with Windows®...

I've started installing my Elk M1G system piece by piece, zone by zone, a little bit each night. I recently added my third zone so now I have three hardwired door contacts. My system is set to chime/voice announce each zone name and most of the time everything works as I'd expect. However, since...

I'm getting ready to install my M1 system and am going to start by mounting an Elk 28" enclosure in my wiring closet. I have a Leviton 42" enclosure for all my structure wiring on the back wall and was planning on installing the Elk on the left wall of the closet. As you can see from the...

So after moving into my new house recently I took the first step in moving up from X10. After a lot of deliberation I decided that I was willing to pay higher prices for UPB devices since the consensus seemed to be that they work more reliably than anything else. I even decided I could live with...

I'm planning a new system for a new house that we're building and have pretty much decided on Z-wave and an Elk M1. There are several rooms that currently have 3-gang switches to control multiple loads. I would like to have a keypad in each of these rooms to set multiple whole-room scenes...

Comcast is advertising that their digital voice service works well with most monitored alarm systems (http://www.comcast.com/images/ImageLibrary/FAQ/PDF/home%20alarm%20system%20reference%20sheet.pdf), but I can't tell what they are doing differently from other VoIP providers who caution that...

With the Slingbox now as low as $150 (with coupon code DISH2006 according to Gizmodo) I am considering using it for remote access to my surveillance cameras. My thought would be to modulate all the cameras and feed the output into the Slingbox so that I could remotely change "channels" to view...

I have pretty much decided to order an M1 Gold for a new house that I'm building, thanks to the great support here. The builder is being flexible about putting in structured wiring, surround sound, and video cameras, but for some reason is not making it easy (cost effective) to pre-wire for...
