Sorry for the delay, I don't come here *that* often. Anyway, when you download message alerts, you should see a green icon that looks like a loudspeaker with a music note in front of it. Do you see it? I will try to do screen shots of my BB to give you an idea of how mine was set up.

Yes. You need to go to the website to try it for free at WebMessenger Inc. - Message Alerts for BlackBerry and then enter your name, and blackberry email address. It will sent you an email to click on a link to download it OTA (over the air) to your blackberry.

Are you talking about the Message Alerts? It's for a Blackberry not a MAC.

Sorry about that! the vBulletin did not delete the original http:// text when I highlighted it to paste the new URL, so it got http://http://. :ugh3:

You can buy a 3rd party software called Message Alerts for Blackberry and then you can set the number of vibrates/durations for specific messages. Example: When my wife emails me on my BB, I set it to vibrate 6 times duration=3 (each vibrate is 3 seconds long) for a total of 18 second...

You need to download Netmeeting and run it in Win2k mode and then Envision SL will work.

... and I know several deafies WAITING for their OJO as well. It goes both ways.

For the stove hood fan, I have a very simple solution. You may have noticed at some auto stores, a small vent fan that is used to blow fragrance when the A/C is on. I used that for my vent fan, and I know when I left the vent fan on. Oops, I left the fan on... There! it's off now.

Remember when Sorenson first came out? They mailed VP-100 to customers. Too many customers were struggling (not everyone is an expert in technology) so they hired installers to go out to help people.

They can get Beryl at http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Graphics/Beryl-19790.shtml Ubuntu with Beryl rocks!

Ah - ok, should not be too hard to fix. Go to your router's control panel (192.168.0.1 and then username = admin, password = (blank)) Once you are in, click advance tab and then on the left, click DMZ, enable DMZ and change the number to 125 and click apply like the picture below. When done, go...

Yes, correct. You would have to hack into your wireless doorbell chime. The nice thing about Powerflash Module is - it will trigger on either a dry contact (0 volts) or small voltage (up to 18 volts, which is what a regular doorbell chime transformer gives out). Once you get the Powerflash to...

This can be done with Homeseer / X-10 (or Insteon) products. I am doing this right now. I have my doorbell chime wired to a Powerflash Module . When someone rings my doorbell, the powerflash module triggers an alert to Homeseer, which in turn runs a script that lets me flash my lights with...

What modem do you have? Who is your ISP? Are you using a router or a switch?

DHB - your Jeep looks sweet! Now you need to lift it and get some 35" tires on Willy! :D

Most home ISPs deliver broadband that is from the low end 56k (dial up) to as high as 15 Mbps (fiber optics). Sorenson routers give a rate of 100 Mbps, which is 6x faster than fiber optics. On a more realistic note, the average home gets between 1.5 mbps to 6 mbps (DSL or Cable broadband) and...

it's about as big as your fist. And no, it's too big to fit inside the door chime box. I put mine in the basement.

I'm using a Powerflash Module like this: I set it to detect when the doorbell is pressed (about 16-18 volts from the doorbell transformer) and it triggers a house code and unit code (i.e. B5) and when Homeseer sees a B5 triggered, I send a script to my Insteon appliances to flash the lights...

It depends. You pretty much *have* to buy either a router or a switch. If his *1* ethernet port is on a cable modem, then he needs to buy a router. If he has a DSL modem - chances are it has a router built in, then you need a switch. There is no such an adapter that lets you plug in to split the...

Sweet plan you got there! I am using Insteon (bought them from Smarthome) myself and I have a server running in my basement (Windows XP) and I'm using Homeseer as my Home Automation software. Right now I have it rigged to flash lights when the phone rings and when someone rings the doorbell. I...
