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...

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...

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...

OK guys, I have been scouring the Google and not come up with an answer on this.   I know the OmniStat remote sensors are 10k thermistors.  But what about the old "Standard range" temperature sensors (part 31A00-1) that go to the HAI panels themselves?  Are they also just 10k thermistors?   The...

OK guys, maybe you all can help me out.   I am looking to install some outdoor motion sensors that are 12 volt powered just like an indoor PIR security sensor.  Everything I can find online are all 110 volt retrofit kits for adding motion sensing to existing lighting.   I am hoping to get motion...

So Leviton has launched their new Wi-Fi connected dimmers, which seem to be pretty decent by all accounts.   Of course, it's silence on the line if these will ever be supported by the Omni panels.  Seems like a shame considering they are already equipped with Ethernet.   Perhaps I am reading too...

Gents,   Need some help here... I was helping a friend with his Omni installation when he accidentally spiked the keypad data bus with high voltage (long story).  After a power cycle everything is back to normal except on the of the keypads, which is stuck on "NO CONTROLLER DATA".  The address...

So, no matter how many times I log in with "Remember Me" checked, if I walk away for more than about 10-15 minutes I have to log in again.   Kind of defeats the purpose, doesn't it?   This is on Firefox and Chrome, WIndows 7 64 bit.

If any of you have, or are thinking about getting, a RainMachine intelligent sprinkler controller, they just released their first basic API with the latest firmware update.   I like the RainMachine as it's not "cloud based" other than pulling NOAA weather data direct from NOAA, the RainMachine...

I am trying to perform certain actions when a Fire Alarm is detected by the Omni.  Events for alarms are pretty clear, but it would seem it will trip for all alarms.   That means I need to filter actions in my script based on the type of alarm.  There are two properties I can poll for alarm...

All,   I thought I would share the bit of code I wrote to control a Logitech Media Server (also called a Squeezecenter, Squeezebox Center and Squeezebox Media Server) from HaikuHelper.  Hopefully this can be of some use by someone else.   This lets you translate actions or triggers on a Lumina...

So I was talking with a friend showing how I get push notifications from HH for different things.  But then we started talking about how all of the generic "sendNotification" method use the same sound, but how some special controller events like troubles and alarms have different sounds.   It...

Not sure how this would work since the HAI and HaikuHelper solution is most certainly cloud free, but some way to get IFTTT integration would be spectacular.   Since I have several other IFTTT supported services (iOS location, Automatic, etc) being able to use that data to place triggers into HH...

Looks like Simply Automated heard us loud and clear.... new UPB Fan Speed Controllers are out!   http://www.simply-automated.com/products/cats/4-button_LED-Controller.php   It looks like it's controlled via UPB links and not by direct dimming or on/off commands, which is a bummer.  But I'll take...

So I am about to embark on a large landscape project... in the past I would have normally just controlled the irrigation using my existing OPII, or maybe with some fancier rules with HaikuHelper.   However, the controllers from Cyber Rain are really calling to me, especially the ability to...

So I am really trying to run this to ground, as there is conflicting information out there.   I have an install with an existing OPII where the owner wants to put in an expansion enclosure for a new outbuilding.  As part of that, we want to put in 2 heat sensors to detect fire... one over a...

Hey everyone, I was wondering if anybody has a video of the OT7 during the arming/disarming phases of operation.   The only video I have seen of the OT7 is from Worthington Distribution, and unfortunately not only did they have a legacy keypad beeping away washing out the audio, but they never...

Did anyone else get the email from Lutron today that announces their change in policy for RadioRA2? It used to be that to download the "essentials" version of the programming software you had to spend 1k on Lutron product. That has been removed and now if you complete all of the training...

Lupinglade and anyone else who might be able to help here....   I am trying to generate a whole-house vacation mode script to turn on random lights for random intervals during night time to give the house a "lived in" look.   The trouble I am having is with the Random class, I can't seem to...

Here's one for everybody..... I have a house whose sprinklers are currently controlled via an OmniPro II. Everything work fine. Now, they have several zones back in the end of their property which are currently manually operated sine there is no wiring to the irrigation manifold. They would...
