I believe some people are starting to follow the little bread crumbs now . . .

You already offered a piece of hardware that meets the question posed. Now, back to my question(s) as to is there more than one door, how is the door secured once its closed, is this door the outside door. None of this is complicated to answer but does impact the next steps . . . To wit what is going to control this magnetic door opener? Does he have an ELK system tied to the ISY Series Controller? If yes this makes the secondary questions not so critical. If on the other hand he doesn't have an ELK system integrated with the ISY Series Controller what is he going to use to confirm and make the door close if their is a failure? Again, every question leads to another logical one which needs to be considered and answered. Perhaps being involved in force protection and security for more than 25 years and seeing the best and worst implementations gives me pause . . .

I'm sorry your missing the whole point and the obvious reasons for asking the questions in the first place. I don't see how asking pertinent questions would annoy a person considering that's the whole point of being on a forum. Which is to pose questions and receive feedback which ultimately offers exchanges of pros / cons and ideas. With respect to how someone is going to *Run his equipment* that is based on industry best practices, local codes, and fire marshal requirements. Some may see only so far as their nose - I prefer to see the entire road . . .

The OP has already stated this door is normally open during the day. When they leave this door is locked and is also part of the security zone. The alarm will not arm the system unless the door is closed and my ONLY question was what locks the door and also offered a suggestion / question. Even though the OP did not ask this specific question it begs to be asked . . . Its relevant because normally there is only one door and hence its considered a perimeter door and must be secured. I can't be any clearer on that point regardless of if that was the primary question. Everyday I read people asking random questions and everyday the question they are asking isn't the true intent. I therefor take the time to ask more probing questions in hopes of offering a true solution. Clear as mud? More crumbs?

Now are you following the bread crumb?

Then why bother even closing the door?

Why would you not care where the door is? If its a single door that leads into the home that is considered a perimeter door and hence why its being monitored. If there are two doors than that removes the primary concern about security.

Garage -> Mudroom Door -> Interior Door to home. <-- Correct?

Your going to have to offer a little more as I am not quite clear as to why the door is ajar in the first place? Also what locks the door once the door is closed? Is the inside handle and door knob / dead bolt preset?

What's the over all purpose of this set up?

Could very well be a bad SD memory card not very common but it does happen.

With respect to any temperature probe being used a person must ensure the proper diameter wire, run length, and topology is used for 1 wire networks. If you are using something other than 1 wire - wire length, diameter, and stable voltage is key.

LOL . . .

Bungalos saves the knee's too when you get older. In most places a basement isn't considered part of the square footage and since I was thinking long term. Think rape tax's from the Nazi's . . . I made sure the basement was the exact same square feet as the main floor. So this allows me in the future to have all the same rooms and bathrooms in the basement for less!

That's perfect - now you really need to go purchase a lotto ticket! I can literally count on two fingers when I have seen this ever happening.

The tightest bend you can achieve with common PEX is like this sleeve.

LMAO . . . There isn't enough pop corn in my bowl today to enjoy the rants.

Can you bring up the Insteon ID in the Admin Console?

In most homes there will be several locations where a line will need to be T'd off. Those who have a straight home run through out the home are extremely lucky. But, that is near impossible for an entire home . . .

Even though I measure my water lines including the hot water tank its not something I would rely upon for mission critical needs. It really come down to what type of sensors being used and their accuracy. It doesn't even address how long it takes for something to change state from one temperature to another. Below is a image capture of the HWT in my home . . .

Can you offer a image capture of the sticker on the back of the remote? If you read my signature profile you'll realize why I am asking. Many in the past have mistaken a 8 vs B, 0 vs O, etc. But I have never seen a picture of a piece of hardware with a Insteon ID mislabeled from the internal hardware address. If true I guess those turtles are going to start eating my house . . .

That would really depend upon maker and model for sure. In my case the LG Smart Washer does indeed consume various power going into the different cycles. It took a few attempts to craft programs in the ISY Series Controller to determine when alerts should be sent and next steps. Like many here I would have never guessed appliances had a energy signature or that they consumed varied amounts of power when operating. What I do is probably more complex than the average person needs to know. But that's because my goals are probably a lot more lofty than many.

In the context I am using bust strength it has to do with its ability to flex much more in extreme cold before blowing out. Here in Canada where I live they still use 3-5 feet of copper leading to the outside. The rest is tied to PEX or similar material for the obvious reasons you listed out above. Based on past research there is no less than five quality brands of none copper piping. Some offer higher tolerances and fittings to reduce pressure loss etc.

Another benefit depending upon material type is higher burst strength. ========================= The highest calling in life is to serve ones country faithfully - Teach others what can be. Do what is right and not what is popular.

Maybe 1.25 steps as I have giraffe legs . . .
