I'm still using this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mrcoolremote This one asks me to connect to my Mr. Cool wifi and when I put it in AP mode, it wants a password to connect. I didn't get any further than that. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smarthvac...

Is that the new SmartHVAC app? I saw that come up when I searched in the Android store for Mr. Cool. My current app is working pretty well and I'm almost afraid to switch.

I'm going to order a 24k DIY. Costco and Amazon (shipped by Ingrams) are within $6 of each other. I can get 5% back on my credit card from either. Any thoughts on which would be better to order from? Does it really matter?

I have 10 4' Costco LED lights in my shop. I calculate that they use 3.5, rounded up to 4 amps on the circuit. I have purchased a gable fan that draws 2.5 amps. The lights are switched and I would like the gable fan to be switched as well. can I run the lights and fan on the same circuit? The...

Here is a chart that explains the differences in the cable types I'm running fiber from my house to the detached shop. I need two networks, regular network and security cameras. I'm putting in 2" conduit since I did not want to direct bury and wanted room for "the future". I need a 250' cable...

I'm looking to move away from ZoneMinder to a NVR. Does anyone know anything about the EYEsurv line? I can't find much other than the datasheet. I'm looking at the EYEsurv ESDV-NVR4K8P-16, but I'm open to other options with a similar set of features.

I'm going to put a SmartThings hub in the barn, so range won't be a problem for me out there. In the house, I use one of these to get my upstairs thermostat online.

I'm going to go with the GE switches. I'll watch the wattage and make sure I don't go over it. We'll see how the SmartHome hub does out there.

Thanks. I'll keep the wattage in mind. I'll probably be going with LED anyway in an attempt to not worry about changing bulbs. :) I've got a SmartHome v2 hub to put out there and want to be able to control the lights from the house.

I'm looking to put Z-Wave switches in my 18x36 detached garage. I've been looking at these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0035YRCR2?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage But they are rated at 600 watts, which I think is about 5 amps. I want to run 6 4' fluorescent, or led...

What's the best way to attach fiber with a LC connector to pull tape? Overlap it and tape it in line? I will be putting in 2" conduit and have a run of 190'. I have two fiber runs inside the house already, this will be my first pull through conduit.

madosta, Thanks for your thread, I'm doing something similar. Did you end up running water and gas in the same trench?

Hi there, I have a 18x36 shop build going. I've been watching for a while, seems like the time to jump in and start posting. So, Hi everyone!
