  It was always a paid product with license keys and everything.   Since Leviton has stopped work on the Omni line, I have hoped for a long time they would just release the PC Access versions as free downloads, but at this point I am not holding my breath.

So, today I noticed something very odd.  I have a Carrier Inifinity system that includes the SAM module.  I have that going to an OmniPro II via serial.   The temperature shown in PC access and on the keypad will fluctuate from the real temp (71 degrees right now) then to 0.  Stays at 0 for a...

As Pete was alluding to, it's most likely a problem where the previous owner had a network range that was not the default for AT&T... so the IP address isn't working with your new network.   Here are some basic steps you can try to get things connected.  (I am simplifying this down...

Late to this party answering questions...   I haven't looked at OpenHAB in some time.  But the HA interface has become so well done I have no regrets.   Russound control is via the supplied Russound integration.  I have an MCA-88X which includes ethernet control.  If you have a russound amp that...

Just a data point, I have an OPII with Russound.  I went with Home Assistant.   In the end, all of the automation is now running on HA, and the OPII is doing security, and interfacing to my Carrier Infinity heat pump system since HA doesn't have an interface for it yet.   Russound control is...

It does not.  It requires the serial port on the main repeater, which Select does not have.

Ugh.  This was the fallback plan for Omni panels, you could still get the Interlogix/CADDX wireless receiver.  Now even that is going by the wayside.

It's even more in-depth than you think.  Modern browsers leak all sorts of innocuous things that when put together, can reliably determine who you are.  Number and resolution of screens for example.  So you get the source IP of the request, see you have received requests from that before, then...

With the seemingly coming demise of the OPII, has anyone tried to backwards engineer the RS-485 console bus?  It's the backbone of the whole system, and if we knew what was being run along it, and it was open source, the possibility of breathing some life into this aging platform becomes a...

I was really hoping that this wasn't where we were headed.   Just a few years ago the Leviton reps were talking about an OP3, new products were coming out, etc.  That all seems to have died.  The writing was kind of on the wall when they didn't integrate the Wi-Fi stuff into the Omni.   I don't...

Well Zigbee and Z-Wave both have the notion of a "controller" at the very core of the protocols, so there has to be some device in charge just to run the mesh networks.  That would rule them out.   You already mentioned that they, as well as Lutron ClearConnect, need the hubs online.  Along with...

I have a panasonic that vents outside through the side wall.  Let me see if I can find a model number for you.

Welp,   Leviton is starting CES by doubling down on wifi decora, including a single gang dimmer with an Alexa enabled microphone/speaker inside...   https://www.leviton.com/en/products/brands/decora-smart/leviton-ces-2019   Also looks like they have ramped up their cloud offering.  Not a single...

What happens if you jumper a zone's input on the HWE locally?  It still stays at 126-127?   If you put a DC voltmeter on a zone input, what voltage do you get?

HAI/Leviton have the same issue with a potential Omni3.  Rumors was that one was being developed, but that was several years ago.   I haven't heard anything on either front for some time.

Hey Ano, PCS wanted nothing to do with helping me with the isolation transformer.  The essentially said "call an electrician" or "see if there is something on e-bay".  I am paraphrasing, but that was the gist of it.   This was a 50 amp circuit, and the highest filters they offer are 20.

Yeah, so HAI groups rooms into units of 8 or 16 (some panels are different, and I can't remember which it is off the top of my head).  That's what the 1-1, 1-2, etc are.  Room 1, Unit 1.  When it goes to 2-1, that's Room 2, Unit 1.   You can have blank lines in the units setup, you don't have to...

Hey Matt,   I also had issues with UPB, and have a good friend who found out his 15,000 dollar Carrier Infinity spews noise out on the powerline and has rendered his entire UPB installation inert.  It's so bad he has to turn off the A/C to turn on lights since many loads are controlled via scene...

This is the kind of stuff I am used to seeing.   It's not cheap, but will probably meet code. https://www.roxtec.com/us/products/   Hilti also makes a less rugged version... https://www.hilti.com/firestop-&-fire-protection-systems/firestop-collars,-wraps-&-bandages/r978938

It's already happened with crappy Chinese CCTV cameras...   https://www.csoonline.com/article/3258748/security/the-mirai-botnet-explained-how-teen-scammers-and-cctv-cameras-almost-brought-down-the-internet.html
