iostream212 - did you do this yet?
The reason I ask - if you're in the neighborhood where I think you are, your service entrance is probably on the other side of your garage wall - and if so, it's pretty likely that there are two cat5's going from the service entrance into the enclosure in your closet. Even if you are using one for a telephone, you should have a spare that you could poke through into the garage - you could then extend the M1 Data Bus over that into the garage, and open up a whole host of options; like an M1RB, M1XOVR and M1XIN (at least that's what's in mine) - and you've got sprinkler control, garage door outputs, 16 inputs you can use, etc... lots of stuff you can do then.
Wow! Genius! The way I was going to do it before was through a smurf tube that was in my telephone access box. The smurf tube runs up about ten feet, then back towards the house about 10 feet, then up 10 feet more to the seconds story attic... I've been thinking about the pull for weeks now. The fact is I don't have telephone service. Duh! Why not use those cables? Thanks Work2Play! That is just perfect!
