The few-minute hold time may kill the solenoid idea. :)

You have some interesting projects queued up! Project 1, Phase 1: Do you really want a battery in there? If it leaks, it would seem to be pretty bad for the cigars. You may be better off with drilling a small hole for wires and sealing it. Take a look at the 1-wire temp/humidity sensor here...

OK, I see what you meant now. For a new adopter, this has been fixed. For recent adopters, the warranties have been extended. Wow. One of these days, I'd like to hear about that scene. What about via the 6-pin header in there? There's even a hole in the frame that can be seen when you take...

Sloop said: Oh, come on! I'm running Insteon here and have seen zero commands sent that don't get acted upon to by the target device(s). There are other issues to be aware of, but this is not one that I've ever seen. wuench said: Not every install. For my house, I don't need them. YMMV, of...

I was thinking more around-the-house (inside).

Exactly. Start small. My adventure started with the simple function of controlling my porch light. Timers were always off, and light sensors were problematic. Next thing I know, I'm knee deep in it! I started with X10 and started to move towards Insteon. I'm about 90%+ with Insteon now. Read...

Ain't that the truth! :)

This can run on a system that already has Windows. Very cool to have both.

These brackets from Radio Shack would be a starting point.

I would take that as correct. Wow. Thanks for posting that Bert! Something else to save up for!

OK, that's what I thought. Now I'm confused. Off to research Oregon Scientific sensors...

I was wondering what the other freq range was for! Thanks Rupp!

The W800 only transmits data via RS232 back to a host computer. What you do with the data is up to you. In my system, it simply fires triggers that make things happen (nothing directly controlled by it). I run PowerHome and can echo the RF X10 commands out to the power line via any supported...

Here is some rail from Jameco.

I recall seeing a cheap projector made for kids recently. That, combined with a PC or a BOB Board, would do it. This is the only "cheap" projector I can find right now.

I don't use HS, but I have had both the PLC and the PLM. I also still have some lingering X10 devices in my primarily-Insteon home. I recently switched to the PLM based on reports of higher reliability (and my PLC dying). I also had troubles with the SDM locking up (the PLM does not rely on the...

If you can still find the new-style Radio Shack version of the DS10A, they have two channels. The problem with this is that RS discontinued them, so you may not be able to find them.

This is an interesting topic. Were there two different numbers at some point?

Based on the web page you linked to, it's not adjustable. :rolleyes:

The lowest I've seen was $700-something.
