So I figured the app is sending this info each time possibly or at least initial setup. So I had to figure out what was in the QR code. There are several QR readers available. I downloaded and installed the QR desktop reader generator from Code Two, this allows you to use your webcam or a saved image to read. Unfortunately both a post and get results in no response so I'm not entering something right.

I think I can just use Postman to test codes once I can sniff things out with Wireshark. So I really need help with Wireshark and maybe Postman. Get the inside scoop and member perks in the Members Only Section!

It certainly starts a conversation. Re: XV and supreme build. I'm curious how you'd rate the original X and the X-E1. As great as the XV is, I personally find the construction of the earlier 2 to be actually better, specifically the "feel" of the metal Replies 8 Views Today at PM fuji.

Why not strip out the old system and roll your own value-added alarm and home automation system? Generally, the hardest part about installing an alarm system is running the wires to connect sensors to the main panel, so [Bill Dudley] wisely chose to leverage the existing wiring and just upgrade the panel.

And what an upgrade it is. But we like the way [Bill] really went the extra mile to build add value to his system. He has two small dogs that have free access to the backyard through a doggy door.

So he decided to make an automatic curfew based doggy door! Before setting out on his project, he determined some design goals that had to be met. The hack makes use of an old large format flat-bed scanner that had stopped working a while ago. As it so happened, this scanner had just enough carriage travel to be able to actuate a cover for the doggy door. In order to add scheduling ability and to program the door remotely, he has also hooked it into his existing x10 control infrastructure in his house — not too shabby!

It also features a manual 3-position switch to lock it open, closed, or to leave it on automatic. The question is, can a raccoon get in? Stick around after the break to see it in action. Any Doctor Who fans out there?
