I ended up buying Superior Essex direct burial cable (http://ce.superioressex.com/uploadedFiles/Docs/PDF/Catalogs/Communications/BDW-A.pdf). I thought about getting gel-filled because I believed the extra protection would increase life in-ground without conduit. I saw there were some concerns...

Do majority of people on this forum that have run Cat5 to backyard security camera or between buildings, run inside conduit? I purchased some expensive cat5e outdoor direct burial cable. I am sort of on fence whether to run in conduit (1/2” PVC). Sprinkler (low voltage) wire is run without any...

I also found these minutemanups.com/lineguard MMS-CAT6-POE. I am planning on running 150 ft Cat5e direct burial cable soon for Camera mounted on pole in backyard. I guess you would need two of them - one for each end of the termination. You might get away with only one if you were willing to...

The https://www.amazon.com/PLX-Devices-Bluetooth-Diagnostic-Android/dp/B016X3L0O2/ref=cm_rdp_product is a pretty cool idea. I have a very expensive Cobb Access Port ODBII Tuner, but I don't keep in car due to theft concerns. I do like being able to see all the different car parameters instead of...

I am curious why so many people are so negative about Z-Wave. I have ~20 Leviton Devices and 2 Kwikset Locks. I use Elk M1Gold and M1XSLZW/VRC0P+3. I have don’t have any issues either. I just turned off about 10 different lights tonight in house/garage in one second. I did briefly try to install...

IVB - From the posts, it sounds like you rebuilt your network using Windows10 and latest version of RFIT. Can you confirm that you able to successfully rebuild network? Does latest version RFIT work any better for rebuilding network.   I understand the frustration with the move closer messages...

The link in post#2 from Frunple is correct link. The file is named oddly - UTF-'en-us-Vizia RF + Installer Tool Setup June16.zip.

DEL Can the motorized varifocal lens operate like a zoom camera?   Can I set the initial field of view to wide angle, have the camera send me an alert when someone comes into area, and then zoom through phone web app? I realize that subject may have moved too quickly that fixed zoom may not be...

If someone can make a change to one item in a group (area) and see if the group is correctly synchronized to VRC0P+3, then #2 on list can be confirmed. If all lights in group can be manipulate that would indicate this problem has been corrected. Currently, I have to use Hyperterminal to add all...

I also need to install a camera that covers a large (150x100) backyard. Is there a camera that would work well at this distance? I was considering a 4MP HikVision DS-2CD2642FWD (http://overseas.hikvision.com/us/Products_1_10534_i7722.html).   What is motorized varifocal lense? Does this mean I...

A few forum users purchased SmartThings Hub v2, and indicated they successfully replicated configuration to VRC0P+3. The STHv2 is replaces the Leviton RFIT as primary controller. After the controller has been replicated, you shouldn't need to use STHv2 any more. I have not verified myself.  ...

To get more than one of lock working reliably, you definitely need many supporting devices. I have noticed the range for locks is much shorter than 20-30 feet that is typical for light switches. I suspect much higher latency along with multiple round-trips improves odds of packet-loss. In my...

I have a defective VRCS2 switch where one switch somehow developed a short. While doing my RMA, I asked about updated RF Installer Toolkit. To my surprise, the technical support representative said there’s a new 1.1.4.1 version out. He said the biggest changes are: Support for Windows 10...

I found the link to Vizia RF+ system guide Application Note (http://communities.leviton.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadBody/2389-102-1-3719/App%20Note%20Vizia%20RF%2B%20system%20guide.pdf). This document contains specification, configuration guidance, and tips on configuring a network.

When you run the hop test? What is it reporting? Here is my test. Which lights are not responding quickly to an on/off command.   Is this a problem with “instant status.” Unfortunately, I have some of the same random instant status problems that you have seen. The problem seems to be more...

Just to be sure, you are creating “jam” by leaving the door slightly open. The dead-bolt will extend, but the dead-bolt’s spring will cause a “snap” or clicking sound.

The jam detection does work for Kwikset locks as I left one door slightly ajar a few weeks back. You can contact Elk and provide them the strings that are being returned when you have VRC0P+3 hooked up to PC/Hyperterminal.  It’s possible that strings are slightly different for Yale locks.   Jam...

I replaced all my GE window sensors with Elk 2-way equivalents. It’s been around 8 months, and I haven’t had a false alarm yet. I did experience false alarms with GE, but I couldn’t ever figure out root cause.   For Elk 2-way, a few things to keep in mind:   1) If you do order the small Elk 6021...

I don't have any ISY. The point of thread IMHO is that Leviton isn’t working on new RFIT updates. There doesn’t seem to be a good replacement for RFIT as a primary controller. Once you get your Z-Wave networking configured and operating, the Elk M1XSLZW solution does seem to be very reliable (at...

>We did get a few Amazon packages   More than likely, the guy in white truck was from “LaserShip.” Amazon uses a third-party shipper to deliver packages. Their drivers use regular cars and no uniforms. Sometimes, they will deliver packages after 7PM. This freaks me out too. If you search...
