Thank you everyone for the advise and suggestions. I have ordered a Reolink NVR and cameras. Also a managed POE switch. I have a Ubiquiti access point already still in the box. Thanks again

My original plan was just to improve the wifi to my garage. its about 50 ft from the house. I had read on another thread on GJ that just putting another wifi router in the garage and connecting that to the house router would do that. I was planning on running a single Cat 6 Aerial cable, would...

I meant a NVR, typed it wrong. Im looking at the Reolink systems

I haven't bought the security system yet. It will be a DVR

I have a detached garage with a single cat 6 ethernet cable running from a wireless router in the house to a wireless router in the garage. Im thinking on also adding a POE security camera system. Could I plug a POE switch into the garage router, add 3 cameras on the garage, plug them into the...

I have a 1948 8 inch "100" # 113.22400 table saw, one of the first ones made by Emerson, which my father bought new. It has a 20x18 table. It has been setting for about 25 years. Its in pretty decent shape. The arbor shaft was missing the key, and you can tell the pulley had spun on the shaft. I...

Another thing to consider is if you need to GFCI protect the dishwasher. It is required in my area. If you put the GFCI under the cabinet, you would have to use the air switch since a GFCI cant be spit wired. If you put a GFCI breaker in the panel, then you could split wire the receptacle or use...

We work on other peoples stuff all day. the last thing we want to do is come home and work on ours. Lol

Did you get it to work? Its hard to suggest anything without being there. Like already said, maybe have to call someone in. If this is a regular 3 wire start/stop. The start switch is a momentary normally open and the stop switch is a momentary normally closed. These 2 switches wire in series...

You maybe right on that. But I defiantly would read voltage first to make sure it is not stepped down in any way by that control board. Not sure why they call it high and low. We are just assuming that that is a 240 volt coil on the heating element contactor. Last thing we want to do is let the...

Post 14 will not work. You need both legs from 240 to get 24 volts for the low voltage thermostat. Which is the back and blue wires

I'm not 100 percent sure, but I don't think all or some mini splits can be pumped down due to the fact that the electronic expansion valves are out in the condenser. As said, you would need to reclaim the refrigerant and weigh in a new charge. Probably impossible, but I would try to get your...

I was trying to leave the internal factory wiring on the heater intact, and just use the 2 wires from terminal A from the heater. But yes, you could rewire it to have that heating relay energize the internal contactor in the heater. You could wire the blue and black wires from the heating relay...

On the heating relay, when the stat calls for heat, it energizes an internal relay, which closes a set of N/O contacts, Which is not a set of dry contacts, they are internally wired, which gives you 240 volts across the red an blue wires. So to make that 240 volts turn the heater on and off, you...

Im not mixing nothing together. I said to add an additional relay to the heating relay. There is more than one way of doing it. Your way works to. The goal here is to complete the path between the 2 thermostat wires on the heater to make it run and to open the path to make it turn off. Since I...
