I posted this thread over on CQC in a bit of irritation, and had some entertaining disucssions. Now the darn cocoon'ers are enticing me even more (dang djarmor.com thread plus Dwayne talking about some new touchtronix stuff last night on chat is TOO MUCH).
Please stop talking about cool new toys for at least 4-6 months, so I can finish mounting the stuff I already bought....
------------------------------------------------------
I'm declaring a moratorium on me buying stuff for a bit. A ton of UPS stuff has begun arriving, refilling the parts closet that I was close to emptying. I've now got, or within a week will have the following unfinished stuff:
Lighting:
- 12 zWave switches
HVAC
Aprilaire distro panel and 2nd 8870, and 1 8051 temp sensor
Audio
- 3 rooms of speakers (2 stereo input speakers and 1 regular pair) and amps to power them (1 4ch Sherbourn amp; 1 parasound zamp)
- 7 Niles inwall volume controllers
Video
- Autopatch 4YDM;
- 2nd DirecTV receiver (this has been in there for 2 yrs now);
- Sony XL1B CD/DVD megachanger
Security/HA
- 3 speakers and the Elk-800 to power them;
- 2 motion sensors;
- 2 waterbug sensors;
- proximity reader;
- 15 door/window sensors.
- 2 motion detectors,
- 4 glassbreak detectors,
- CCTV camera
Telephone
- CallerID PC modem
Misc
- 32port patch panel,
Oh, and did I mention that i pulled all 300 CDs down from the attic to re-rip?
Wife was getting happy that the closet was getting almost empty. Ha, guess I showed her!
