I have an outdoor LED light on the end of my pole barn that is wired direct. It has a night/day photo eye on it so it does shut off at night. I want to be able to shut it off permeantly. I have access to the wiring so I can add in a kinetic switch or controller, but want to try to run a wired...

It sounds like a smart switch might be an option. WM - We already have two ring doorbells, but I've read that the light/camera's have to be set up with an Android device. What i've read is they are difficult if not impossible to setup with an iOS phone. Any negative experience with using an...

I don't have to have motion control if I can control it from the inside of the house. It's on the end of our house so not a remote location. I like the Wemo setup you have. That might be an option as well. I haven't started to set up any linked devices like that, but I know you can do it...

That's a good idea and something to think about. I do have a smartThings mesh network that I could control it by also.

Hello, I've done some searching and have found a lot of motion controlled dusk to dawn flood lights. I'm looking for the same, but want to be able to turn it on from inside the house via the wifi network. Is there anything out there that does not have a camera on it? Don't need a camera in...

For the folks that have this style of light. How do you mount them to the wall? I have a shop with no windows and when the lights are out it's totally dark and you need some type of lighting to find your way to the doors. These lights just have a back panel that snaps off, do you just drill...

thanks for the feedback. I appreciate your suggestions.

I'm guessing 8 - 10 of these should work. Any input? Would something else work better? thanks

We just poured the floor on a 40' x 54' pole building. It will have 12' side walls with scissors trusses that will put the center of the ceiling at around 15'. The interior will be all white metal. At some point there will be a small 6'x6' bathroom in one corner, but I'm not concerned with it...

thanks

Anyone have an extra coupon for the five drawer? I want to buy one for my son for Christmas and Don't know when they will go on sale again. thanks

Great information, but a bit overwhelming for a novice. Simple 40x50 pole building, general homeowner use, working on cars, light wood working and light fabrication. White metal throughout, with 12 foot ceilings. One of the layouts that was in Platonic Solid's design thread should work for...

You nailed it. When we set the cabinet into the uprights, one of the lid rivets was stuck behind a flange. thanks

Got a coupon a while back and just bought the 5 drawer. Did as everyone said and left everything loose during the build. After snugging up the nuts, the lid does not close without tweaking it a little. Does anyone have a sequence in tightening the nuts to keep the lid square?

Great thread, thanks for all the wonderful information.
