    Which automation platform to choose?

    N49atv - I'm looking at whole house Audio systems currently and I'm curious as to why you chose the HTC Lync 12 rather than going with the Hi-Fi 2 from HAI?  Thanks

    Best Source of Cable and Wire

    Just wanted to post an update on where I ended up purchasing wire.  I ended up with some CAT6 and speaker cable from Monoprice, Southwire RG6 QS and Monster speaker wire from Amazon, and CAT6, RG6 QS and speaker wire from Paige Electric.  I'm in the middle of installation and all the cable is...

    Thanks guys. DEL, I'll definitely check out both Skywalker and AVAD. Neurorod, I totally agree with the notion of supporting US workers and manufacturing. You can thank Walmart though for forcing many companies - including my family's business that owns two retail stores - for having to...

    Thanks DELInstallations. We own a couple of retail locations - so I have access to dealer pricing. With that being said, I still find that buying from Monoprice or Amazon is still often cheaper. I hear you when you say you get what you pay for. I would agree that this is often (although...

    Monoprice has great prices (before shipping) on network cables, but unfortunately they don't carry much else in the way of bulk wiring (speaker, security, fire-wire,etc.) and their prices on RG-6QS aren't that great. I'm looking for an all in one company to buy inexpensive bulk cable and...

    Getting started ELK and HAI

    Here is the final word on the use of CFLs and LEDs with the Azela system. Thanks to Thomas at Centralite for his responsiveness. The reason that we don't put that on the documentation is because we are not compatible with 100% of the LEDs and the CFL bulbs. The ones that we do work with need...

    Good article on UPB. Are you able to control fans with it? I've heard conflicting things on this forum and elsewhere.

    Getting started ELK and HAI

    I'd prefer to go with Elegance, but I'm afraid it's going to add too much cost to our electrical. It seems every change we make with the builder for electrical costs us a small fortune. On another note -- I contacted Centralite support about dimming CFL and LED's and got this reponse: The...

    Getting started ELK and HAI

    Thanks rsw686 and picta for the great information. Picta, you bring up a point I hadn't even considered - dimming CFL or LED loads. I checked it out and Azela will NOT dim either one.....just when I thought I'd made up my mind :( Does anyone know if that is a limitation of the Zigbee protocol...
