    Any lighting controls that work especially well w/ Elk M1?

    Spanky, can you give us more details about the new M1/Z-Wave integration.... How will the Z-Wave lighting nodes be associated in the M1 (Lighting device number # to # for nodes, scenes, groups, etc). Does the RZCOP serial interface act as the Primary/Master controller or Secondary controller...

    Did Home Automation Save You Money ?

    HomeMediaPros, Just curious how long you've been installing Insteon dimmers for customers? Mine lasted almost two years without any issues or problems when all of a sudden over a 4 week period I had 5 of them go dead. Luckly they were still under warrenty and I was able to RMA replacements...

    What's best way to automate closet light with Elk?

    Spanky, with that statement, could you please explain your earlier post: I'd really like to try automating this using just the Elk and Elk Relays and keep it safe and to code if possible. Looking at the instructions for the Elk-924 it clearly shows an example of hooking up a 120 VAC flood...

    What's best way to automate closet light with Elk?

    Lets keep in mind this is a closet (not walk in) ceramic light fixture on the ceiling with a pull chain I'm trying to automate. There is NO WALL SWITCH that can be simply replaced and I haven't seen any automated screw in lamp modules for UPB. Yes Z-Wave, Insteon and X-10 have them but then...

    Did Home Automation Save You Money ?

    Well when I was using Insteon devices in my house (like stated in the press release), and I had a failure rate of over 50% of my switches (which happened) B) , I would would have expect my energy usage to have dropped also since I wasn't able to turn on the lights to use electricity. :)...

    What's best way to automate closet light with Elk?

    Spanky, putting a relay at the light fixture in the closet was what I was wanting to do and just running 22 gauge wire from the relay back to the Elk. Which relay would be the better choice to use (Elk-912 or Elk-924)? The Pod

    What's best way to automate closet light with Elk?

    I'd like to automate the closet lights in the house so that when someone opens the closet, the light will go on for only 10 min. or off when door is closed. Simple enough to hook up a magnetic sensor on the door to an Elk input zone. But the question comes up of which is a better way to...

    ELK CAD Drawings

    This could be really useful when planning out your Elk installation to see if everything will fit nicely in a single 28" cabinet or if you need to plan on spreading it out between two or more cabinets. Also if someone took the time to layout all the wire connections in order with labels you...

    My Home Automation Hell

    It only took one MS auto update at 3am and having HS restart and start making announcements throughout the house waking the wife that I ended up writing an application to run at windows startup to MUTE the computer's sound. HS can unmute and mute the sound also based upon time of day. No more...
