Home Monitoring and Control with a third party also monitoring and controllin​g?

I was wondering if anyone has tried to install Home Monitoring and Control with a third party monitoring, and or controlling the same devices. I know many systems offer multiple control points such as auxilary control touch screens. Has anyone made this work? I have Z wave devices on my home security system (lighting), and would also like to monitor them via Verizon. Possibly also adding some energy monitoring and control, that is not available via my security company. My security monitoring company provide support through Alarm.com, but has limited energy monitoring to thermostat control and such.
The only interactive control with my security company is for alarm monitoring and control, with limited lighting control. All of my devices are GE in the wall mounted lighting controls, and I would prefer to pay Verizon the few extra dollars for the additional features VIA the web, rather than pay Verizon. There used to be an energy package, that included the main power panel load and I thing Thermostat, but I believe some of the bundles have been split up.
There are other options out there now, but I have neen exploring. My GE Switches are from the Lowes Iris system. Much less expensive, and can replace existing wall switches, not like the power cord switches. Plus the store is four miles from my house.

I started with Verizon home monitoring, but if you read through the threads the service is extremely unreliable, still to this day. I am stillusing it, although I am waiting for a refund on the services that I have used since it is so bad but I bought a MiCasaVerde Vera3 system.  You pay appoximately $300 for the unit and there is no monthly charge and you get all the features plus pretty much unlimited types of z wave devices to use on it. I would seriously consider using that before Verizon.

  • Is there any setting in Firefox 8 and above to enable third party add-ons and extensions by default. This is required for our automation. Any quick help appreciated.

    Basically, my requirement is to get all the third party extensions/add-ons enabled by default. Though Firefox8 and above have disabled the third party extensions/add-ons, is there any way to customize the settings so that all third party extensions and add-ons get enabled by default in Firefox8 and above.

    I had that problem once, the way I fixed the two addons I had problems with was to find and manually download the xpi file from the author's page. Once you have that you can edit the install.rtf file that is inside it.
    Here's a guide on how that works.

  • A "VZW free msg" says a phone on my account "made a charge with a third-party vendor ... ."

    This evening, I got a "VZW free msg" alerting me that a phone on my account had "made a charge with a third-party vendor." This is the second such message I've gotten this billing period. The messages are identical. My bill for the current billing period won't be ready till this weekend, so I have no way to track down any details. The phone belongs to my wife, and I am absolutely certain that she has not billed anything to her phone. The maddening thing about these messages is they give no details. Who's the third-party vendor? How much was the charge? What did my wife supposedly buy? No such details appear in the text message, and I can't find details anywhere on the My Verizon site.
    This text message does add: "For details or to block such charges: www.verizonwirel." (That's correct as written—I presume some of the message got truncated. That's how the message appeared both times.) However, I can't find any documentation about how to block these charges.
    After I got the first of these messages, I called Verizon's customer service number (800.922.0204). A very pleasant gentleman noted my concern and checked my account. He found no such third-party charges, and he advised me to look carefully at my next bill. I left it at that until I got the second message this evening.
    Speaking of customer service: This evening, I tried twice calling Verizon's customer service number. Both times, the call ended with a recorded voice telling me, "I'm sorry, but your call cannot be processed at this time. Please try your call later." Huh? Why not an offer to leave my number for a call-back? They as much as hung up on me. Not impressed. And, by the way, why doesn't Verizon post their customer service number on the Web site? I had to dig up the number by way of www.gethuman.com.

    Contact us on every page has the number.
    *611 from your device works as well.
    That third party stuff is probably "cramming" Verizon just got hit with this practice which is illegal.
    The law states you can call Verizon up and have them place a permenant block on third party services.
    They cannot refuse and you do not have to pay for them.
    Notify the FCC http://www.FCC.gov or the Federal Trade Commission http://www.FTC.gov
    Good Luck

  • Integration of Oracle Apps with the Third Party Label Printing Software

    Hi,
    I am integrating Oracle Apps R12 with the third party Label Printing Software(Bartender).
    For generating the Label, I have to create the XML file in Oracle Apps and with the help of Oracle WMS i have to transfer the XML file to the TCP/IP Port.
    Third Party Label Printing Software will pick the file from the TCP/IP Port.
    I am not able to find the way to send the XML file generated by the concurrent program to the TCP/IP Port using Oracle WMS.
    Below are the few links for Oracle WMS:
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B25284_01/current/acrobat/115wmsug.pdf
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E18727_01/doc.121/e13434/T210618T210847.htm#T210864
    Thanks In Advance..

    Hi,
    I assume, i have already setup profile 'WMS: Label Print Mode' to Synchronous - TCP/IP.
    Basically, you dont have to create any concurrent program for XML creation, Oracle will do it for you 'out of box'.
    Also set 'WMS: Synchronous TCP/IP label request delay' to 100, this is a required step, though none of the documentation talks about it.
    if you think that all the requests are not handled correctly, then you will need to increase this delay further.
    Lastly, verify that the printer is setup correctly in Oracle (Place where you specify IP Address and port)
    Thanks,

  • I received a text from verizon saying i made a charge with a third party  vendor that would show up on by bill

    I got a text from Verizon saying I made a charge with a third party vendor that will be on my verizon bill.  What the heck?????

    Don't be surprised. I received this same notice but verizon has almost no way for a person to find the answer easily. Plus there are several charges on my bill that are on the web page that link to the contract. The links go no where! !
    If they are going to charge something they need to find a way for people to know what is being charged.
    An Iphone6 was upgraded on October 6 under the Edge program. The charge was added almost immediately and appeared on the October 12 billing cycle. The older phone was returned to them under the Verizon Edge plan and it was received by verizon on the 13th of October. That credit has still not been applied to our account. It took them a matter of minutes to charge us for the new IPhone 6 but so far they have not been able to apply the credit for the edge return after eight days. All the links to this transaction are dead and there are no records on the verizon billing site to back up the charges. The message today is the first 'hint' that there may be a charge coming but no mention of the credit.

  • Can I synch contacts and calendar with outlook on my office computer and media in family itunes library on my home computer?

    I am purchasing a iphone4s. Can I synch contacts and calendar with outlook on my office computer and media in my family itunes library on my home computer?  If so, how?

    I'm having the same issue. Upgraded my 3G to OS4 which wiped out my contacts from the phone. I also use CompanionLink (Express) to sync ATC with Outlook and iTunes and the phone. Have spent hours/days on the phone with second level Apple tech support to no avail. CompanionLink IS syncing with Outlook but Outlook isn't syncing with the phone. Have tried syncing to Outlook directly (without CompanionLink) but no good result. Tried syncing through MobilMe. Can sync all Outlook contacts from my computer to me.com through MobileMe but does not sync with the phone. Tech support suggested trying to sync fewer contacts at a time as their might be a problem with the contacts file. DID manage to get 4000 of my 5600 contacts back in but can't get any more in. Previously had NO problem syncin all contacts directly and through CompanionLink. VERY frustrating.
    Also, I use Outlook Express for email. Since installing MobileMe I get an error message saying that Outlook isn't my default mail handler and I need to change the settings to make it the default mail handler. I DO NOT have "sync mail" checked as I'm not trying to sync my email accounts...only contacts and calendars. Made Outlook the default mail handler which stops the error message but still can't sync the contacts and I want to keep Outlook Express for email.

  • Need to monitor event ID with Event Level :Critical , Also how to generate (powershell or otherwise) an event with Event Level :Critical

    Need to monitor event ID with Event Level :Critical , Also how to generate (powershell or otherwise) an event with Event Level :Critical

    Hi
    First, we Need to clarify what do you want.
    1) You want to Monitor a Windows Event with the severity "Error" (there is no Critical for Windows Events, only Error").
    2) You want to create an Event in SCOM. I think you if you talk about "Event" in SCOM you mean actually an Alert.
    There is no direct way like a tool/powershell script  of only creating an Alert in SCOM only if you are going to use the SCOM SDK
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh329086.aspx or using the Orchestrator Create Alert activity.
    If you want to create a SCOM alert depending on a Windows Event you either can create a rule
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff730470.aspx or a Monitor

    My wife has a new Ipad and Iphone with icloud. We also have a Imac that has not been upgraded yet that is somehow syncing with her ipad and screwing up the apps. Is there anyway to prevent this. Maybe it is thru mobilme?

    I think iCloud isn't coming until this fall and not until iOS 5 is publicly available. Right now there is confusion because all this stuff is still in beta and things are under NDA and may still change.
    I'd just set the 3GS up the same as currently. When iOS 5 is available in the fall (and I don't think Apple has specified beyond "fall"), before you update, there should be any number of guides to setting things up and how it will all work. http://macworld.com is a good place to look for such information.

  • Manufacturing with a third party, How to control cost and automate

    JDE E1 v8.12 will be upgrading to 9.0
    I am new to this so if someone has ideas or point me in the right direction. You see we Order a supply of Wrappers, Trays(Boxes) and Master Shippers(Cases). This is put into inventory . We Only ship out amount needed to our third party when orders need to be filled, (Our 3rd party completes of finished goods). Rest of the Wrappers, etc are stored in our warehouse.
    iInventory adjustments are done when sending to our 3rd party. When we buy the wrappers etc creates a large negative variance which floats on our books, It takes about 2-6 months to offset the variance. Our 3rd party makes our finished goods and we send them the packing etc, so our 3rd receives Wrappers, etc to complete finished Product
    We are charged for Labor and the finished product.
    The things we want to keep track of is
    labor(3rd party)
    Finished product(3rd party)
    Wrappers
    incurring a (+- 5%)Spoilage of wrappers
    Boxes
    Freight*
    iWe get hit with freight cost 3 times
    (1)     1st cost freight to 3rd party
    (2)     2nd cost freight back to us
    (3)     3rd cost freight out to the DC( Distribution Centers)
    Things we would like to automate
    •     Be able to place a PO for finished goods to 3rd party
    •     The system knows and states what components are needed to complete the finished goods(So we can monitor it)
    •     The system flags when more components needs to be ordered(so our supply does not fall below our benchmark)
    Within manufacturing this product wewant to be aware of our prime cost
    Prime Cost
    1)     Direct material
    2)     Labor
    3)     Other direct cost(e.g. packaging and royalties)
    Since we send our material (packing only) to a third party to complete the finished good, within the manufacturing suite. We can we use? Do we have to have manufacturing account as well? .
    Any suggestion would be received.
    Thanks

    Control the process with Outside Process Work Orders. You create a Work Order and a parts list in the normal way but have a two step routing, the first step is the Outside Process done by the Third Party and the second step is receipt of the goods back from them (JDE will not allow an Outside process to be the last step on a routing)
    With the first operation you will need a OP item number, this is part number which is made up of the Item being manufactured plus the characters OP plus the operation number, this part number represents the service that the 3rd party is providing and is set up as a Stock Type X, Line Type X
    When you run R31410 to attach the parts list it will automatically raise a Purchase Order on the 3rd party
    You can then issue the parts to the Work Order in the normal fashion and since you have a P/O for the manufacturing process this will acount for the 3rd party labour
    Look on Oracle Support for document 647965.1

  • Troubles with third-party software: Mozilla and Microsoft

    Can anybody help me?
    I'm new to Macs. Loving it so far (why didn't I switch years ago?), but I am having a few teething difficulties. Namely, with some interaction between Mozilla Firefox for Mac and MS Word for Mac. Whenever I copy text from Firefox and paste it into Word, it's automatically stripped of all formatting - italics, bold, font, paragraph styles, the lot.
    I copy-and-paste text from Firefox a lot, and need to keep the source formatting when I do so. Can anyone tell me how? Please?
    Thanks.

    I was hoping somebody here would know something about Firefox for Mac...I didn't have this problem when I was using Firefox on a PC.
    And, yes, as far as I can tell this problem doesn't occur with Safari. But I like Firefox. It's got features I admire and all my bookmarks, too. So I don't really want to have to switch to Safari. There must be some way around my problem, surely.
    Mac Phone Support have already told me they can't help, though, since this is all third-party software. They directed me here.
