I could be wrong about this, but I don't think the panels don't do any processing of the audio from the mics, I think they just pass it back along the audio lines in the Cat5 cable to the PC that's...

Mythbusters did a program on this a while ago and the results were not reassuring - I'm fairly sure they managed to break into all them one way or another

Just to back up Tim's post. I was having exactly this problem. Tried it on two W2003 server machines and an XP machine. Could NOT get the drivers to install. Tried a lot of fiddling and a bit of...
Going off topic - but they also do a GSM unit that can:
Switch on/off outputs from simple SMS text message
Send an SMS message when a input changes state
Could be useful for adding SMS...
They've also got the Dal:dal coming soon, which says:
"By converting the world's ebb & flow and endless stream of events into halos of living colours and audio micro-messages, Dal:dal offers a...
Hi Gumby - any news on these?
Jamie
Any ideas when your software is going to be available? Your website says March 09, which being optimistic, is the day after tomorrow :-)
Obviously dependent on price, but I'd be interested in 4.
Thanks, Jamie
Damn - getting drool on the keyboard again :-)
It looks like they also do a inductive clamp version so you measure an entire house - it's on the bottom of the "Buy" page.
Had a similar experience with some GU10 CFLs from Robert Dyas. Tempted by the cheap price (about £5) and bought 4 to replace the bulbs in the kitchen. I don't think any of them lasted more than 3...
Like Paul B, I run it on a mini-itx board with Windows 2003 Server. The box itself runs Cortex, runs SquezzeServer and acts as a file server. I've found it to be extremely solid. Can't remember it...
Three works for 2D space, but I think you actually need 4 dongles to get an accurate fix in 3D. With one dongle and a range you define a sphere where the phone must be. If you have 2 dongles and a...
Great thread!
Measure twice and cut once. Don't rush into the job, take time to think about everything, remember your going to have to live with this a long time. Node0 moved at least twice while...
Yep - I'd be interested. Jamie
I went through this a couple of years ago and eventually settled on Idratek (www.idratek.com). I didn't like the lack of feedback in x10 and I'm always a bit nervous of wireless in case of...
Hi jpdw,
I'm using the same motherboard are you (EPIA EN12000G), in a Travla C158 Mini-ITX Case but with an External 120W Universal 110/240V 19V AC adapter and internal 120W 19V DC converter. My...
Just found these (whilst searching for the best price on a Drobo - isn't the internet a wonderful thing)

Home Page:...
Very interesting - I think originally there were issues with these as they used a proprietary format so you could only view them through IE with Active-X, however by the looks of it they've fixed...
Hi Toscal,
I looked at various video servers - the IP9100B Network Video Server costs about £100, but the frame rate drops quite badly if multiple cameras are attached, and it doesn't...
Hi Andrew,
Welcome to the wonderful of external day/night IP cameras. Unfortunately it's a very (rediculiously) expensive world :-(
I favour the IP cameras rather than standard CCTV...
Was having a wander around on the Idratek website and found the following ...

Shall I just start drooling now ? :-)
I have to admit I keep looking at this every 6 months or so, there are so many ways you could make use of the info in HA terms if you knew exactly where specific people were in the house.
Example:...
Thanks JonS, looks interesting. Any ideas how the signalling? Does it just take a signalline from 0v to 9v ? Is there any modulation? As you say an opto-isolator would be a sensible precaution.

Thanks guys,
I had a look at the Kiddie relay base and that looks pretty good. It's got both NO and NC connections on an 8A 24V DC / 8A 250V AC rated relay. It appears that the relay is driven...
