I can share the UPB driver/algorithm if you care since that's already done and has been running flawlessly for a year now. It listens for activity -i.e. when a switch is pressed and sends light level status. It also accepts commands from my central controller and it also polls if enabled to do...

Thanks, it looks like it does the same thing I wanted out of the first device I listed - right? I want to add a wireless technology to my HA system (I currently use UPB and programmed a basic co-pro to interface with the serial PIM and my central controller). Since I must write my own driver...

I know. Do you have a copy?

I'm looking for the published protocol so I can write a driver to use with the z-wave computer interface module. http://www.smarthome.com/manuals/2201rs.pdf Does anyone have a copy or can someone post a link to it please? Thanks.

all legit points, but what happens when the meter is replaced with an updated one without a wheel to count revs on? Like mine - a digital one with no external moving parts. As far as the transducer, just install it after your main breaker. There's are no loads between the power company's meter...

What are you going to do when your power company updates the meter? :) Mine just swapped out my old mechanical style with a new digital kWh meter. No more wheels to count revs on. I think your much better off monitoring the current/voltage with transducers and calculating the power use from...

Interesting philosophies. I use a 10-channel fob with 4 buttons on it - you must use button combinations to acheive all 10 possible channels. It controls a 10-channel relay box I bought on line that I assembled myself - it's easy with the instructions. Anyway, the device is secured by the...

Thanks for all the positive comments. I do understand the perceived higher costs associated with industrial PLCs. Mostly, they are too high for homeowners, even me, but, Automation Direct's PLCs pop up all of the time on EBay for very affordable prices. It seems the 205 series is quite...

Hi everyone. I'm new to the forum and I am curious what the overall consensus of industrial based control platforms compared to consumer type platforms. My background is in industrial programmable controllers, so I used an industrial controller as the center of my HA/Security universe. I...
