Home automation has come so far! Back prior to 2013, it was a win just to turn something on or off reliably. Now, the advancements are truly impressive. Anyone else remember those early days? #HomeAutomation #TechEvolution

It's great when new products just work right off the bat. The Zooz ZEN78 High Power Relay hit all the marks with basic control, power monitoring, and addressable parameters in the IQ 4 and Alarm dot com. savethepanel.com/zen78 #SmartHome #TechReview #alarmdotcom #zooz #zwave

@thecomputerclan Let me help you out. I think it is fine. Don't understand the hate. People hate change. Roll with it or run linux. There are other things in the world to spend time on trying to fix. Like why DoorDash doesn't refund the full amount of an item when they forget to deliver it.

I don't think I've heard a single person, online or in person, say they like Windows 11. Is it actually that bad or is it just a loud minority?

This Black Friday deal offers a great price on a powerful device. The Zooz ZEN78 delivers 40 amps of power up to 240V AC and can trigger scenes from its input. Very handy! More Info: savethepanel.com/zen78 #BlackFriday #TechDeals

Leveraging my ZBox I've built a fun addition for my house this Halloween. It's designed to surprise trick-or-treaters with flashing lights and randomized spooky sounds as they approach the front door. Full video: youtu.be/Y8yrxVyETvU #Halloween #ZBox #Zooz #LuaFirstTimer

@MrSoftee_ the app should have a button to summon the truck! Our local driver always misses our street. He goes all around but never comes here!! We want ice cream! 🍦

MAIL CALL: The *new* Shelly Wave i4 DC with Z-Wave LR has arrived on the bench! #smarthome #zwave #shelly #zwaveLR

A new Inovelli Red Series switch—bright red and solid! Testing to reveal functionality differences, especially within the IQ and Alarm.com ecosystem. 👀 #smarthome #inovelli #smarthome #inovelli #alarmdotcom #zwave #IQ4

This POC illustrates how a couple of relays and some wire can have a lot of potential. Watch the full video here: savethepanel.com/haiq4pl #HomeAssistant #SmartHome #AlarmSystem #Qolsys #IQ4 #HomeAutomation #TechIntegration #Shelly

With the latest Inovelli Red, even without using scenes, it's possible to leverage double-tap and triple-tap functions through Z-wave direct association. #smarthome #zwave #zwave #homeautomation #smarthome #tech #gadgets #Inovelli #InovelliRed #IQ4 #Qolsys #alarmdotcom

Smart home enthusiasts, take note! Many Z-Wave controllers offer huge customization for notification LEDs, but some users might hit a wall. Always explore device parameters for hidden potential! #smarthome #zwave #Inovelli #InovelliRed #IQ4 #alarmdotcom

Anyone else feel that this is the best community software out there? Seems like only the cool kids (like us) use discourse. #discourse #savethepanel Discourse.com

Shelly Plus i4 DC: Perfect match I have to tell you - I really like these little scene controllers. So useful. I just wish they’d not show up as unknown device on the IQ 4 Panel. youtu.be/NVB98Mgg4Os?si… via @YouTube

@davepl1968 @dsobeski This makes me think about the power requirements for the wifi radio. I wonder if ZWave Long Range somehow would be a solution here, customized to directly associate to its remote partner without a zwave hub ?

@dsobeski See, I was wondering about that. As long as the sender is asserting DSR, I could charge the batteries off that :-)

I’m trying build a wireless serial cable, because none exists. I just want to plug into one end, and it wirelessly bridges to the other end up to wifi range. I ordered the parts I think I need (MAX3232 and ESP32). Apparently, there’s something really hard about it, but no one can tell me why they don’t exist, so it’s time to find out or make one! The commercially available MAX232-TTL bridges don't expose hardware flow control, that's the only hurdle I know of, so I bought full MAX3232 breakouts. They support two pairs per chip, so I should be able to do RX/TX and RTS/CTR. Anyone know why these don't exist yet? Or do they?

A closer look at the new Zooz ZEN58 reveals a "very cool" design. Ready to join it up and see what it looks like in action. #DIY #Testing #ZWave

Why add a siren to an IQ Hardwire 16? Because sometimes a simple wire can bypass the need for Z-Wave relays or extra power. A little textbook, but a practical security upgrade! #SecuritySystem #DIYHomeSecurity #Tutorial
