Would love to see the finished product with the wood on top. I bet that thing is stout!

I have always been a fan of ring products. I have an original ring doorbell and also bought my parents one. We have been very happy with Ring. That being said my parents recently invested in a Nest doorbell and two of the Nest IQ outdoor cameras. I must say the nest product, although a lot more...

I would recommend the "sonoff" brand of modules. If you wanted to control it from a phone. They make several that handle 5v -24volts along with modules that handle 120v. This one is the 4 channel low voltage one that could also be used to open your garage door with your phone if needed. It also...

Totally missed that you were using led bulbs already. Disregard my last post. Hope you find a solution

If you are starting from scratch I would go zwave and zwave plus with some sort of universal hub like wink or smart things. I have had insteon and wink (zwave, zigbee hub) I like the wink hub with zigbee and zwave devices much better. The openness of the ecosystem is nice and it offers...

This is common issue on fluorescent light fixtures. I have read on here many times where people had to replace the ballasts to correct it. From what I recall there are commercial and residential ballasts. The residential ballasts are built to not interfere with am/fm/ and tv antenna frequencies...

Where did you get the 80/20 10 series extrusions you used for you cargo carrier lift? I need to do that and like the looks of what you did. Thanks

I know this is going back a few pages but I was curious how the z wave hot water heater switch has worked for you. I need one for the same reasons but want to make sure it hasn't given you any troubles as far as losing connection or anything like that. What hub or controller are you using for...

Woody or Johnnie "As for my other inquiry that Wi-Fi app is super cool. I was running around the property tonight testing. Router lives in the kitchen on the top of the upper cabinets. It has a nice view of the garage from there." What app is this you are using for testing the wifi? Tried to...

I just stumbled across this and must say one of the best executions from design to finish that I have seen! I have a few quick questions on the led strip lighting and motion/occupancy control. Did you use the lutron ceiling mounted round sensors, or did you use the switch type? Do you just...

Do the racing slips also show you your 60ft times? I imagine they are insane.

Good looking garage! Good to see a fellow hunts-vegas garage nut. Im in northeast over chapman mtn.

Jammiman, You should start a build threat, would love to see the progress of where you started and how you got there. Those black full height cabinets are awesome! What brand are they? Love the Ridgeline also.

Small world...stumbled upon this thread and clicked on the last link for the dodge colt video. Nate's a good friend of mine; we've swapped mitsubishi parts and knowledge many a times! Nice garage and cars!

Ok more questions, What kind of nfc tags are you using? what phone and are what nfc app? I have a galaxy s3. I see NFC launcher seems to be a good one. I just want to make sure whichever tags I get have enough memory and whichever app I use has the ability to not only turn bluetooth on but also...

Tricon, Thanks for the info! I think I will give it a try. I saw some earlier versions of this when people used old cell phones but I like the way you did yours better and I have been wanting to try nfc tags for a while also. Thanks again.

I am interested in doing this but had a few questions. What kind of range are you getting as far as useable distance away from the garage door? I know bluetooth is usually 30ft but was hoping for a longer range. Also how long of a process is it for it to connect and open the door once you tap...

Read the amazon reviews on the belkin and you will find that some have modified it to get better reception distance. It basically involves taking it apart and removing a metal plate in the device that seems to be added for nothing more than to add weight/feel to the device. I haven't done it to...

I would try to source a nice home audio reciever from craigslist, they can usually be found for pretty cheap ($50-150.00). Don't concentrate too much on finding one with built in blue-tooth (more on this later) just find one that has good power and a good brand. Then once you have that you can...
