    RelayTouch-UTMA Touch Screen Review

    What color scheme does the regular Relay Touch support? Could I use a regular Relay Touch monitor in the wall that backs up to my equipment closet, and one or more RelayTouch-UTMA monitors around the house? This is probably a question that Dean would have to answer, will the RelayTouch-UTMA...

    what's your electricity usage?

    I used 25 kwh a day last month. I have electric wall heaters in each room, but use a pellet stove most of the time. The local electric company has low interest loans available if I switch to a heat pump. If I did that I would get a three stage thermostat that would call for the heat pump...

    Drain your water heaters

    How about using one of these scary point of use heaters? I like the knife switch used to turn it on, and the electrical tape on the cord. Kenny

    SAI introduces the UPB Pocket Programmer

    The wireless computer interface module was pretty cool. 802.11b to a PDA running the Powerline-Pro software for setup and documentation of the install. I could see where the handheld programmer would come in handy for checking signal strength around the home and for making quick changes.

    RCS TR-40 Message Display?

    Ok, I am kind of surprised that this great news didn't generate more of a buzz. Maybe most folks missed it. Let me just say thanks to the folks at Elk for adding these features. I can't remember all of the details, but I kind of thought it was funny that during a Friday night chat someone...

    Wired lighting choices?

    Another thing to consider about a lighting control system that needs to have a home run for each switchleg pulled back to a lighting control panel is the added amount of wire that has to be installed. With the price of copper going up, and the added labor to install it, the cost of the project...

    Medium-size UPB Installation Experience

    Medium-size UPB Installation Experience

    Have you checked that the panel inside the condo is 120/240 and not 120/208? Sometimes apartments and condos have a 120/208 three phase service that feeds the meter pack or main disconnect. Then each dwelling unit will use two of the three phases from that service. Sorry if this is already...

    A little Satellite radio help

    I have had XM for a little over a year now. I've been happy with it. Two of my friends have Sirius and they like it, except for the reception issues. They get signal drop outs, a little more frequently than I do, and it's kind of annoying. Hope this helps, Kenny
