Emergency Power/Storms/Prepping etc
Mine basically sounds like someone has parked a lawnmower outside and not moving it. So you can hear it, but it's not like it's terrible. Hell, people are always doing lawn work in a neighborhood so it blends right in. And during a power outage no one will care anyway since everyone else will... -
Emergency Power/Storms/Prepping etc
So are you wanting the transfer switch to wait longer before going to gen power? In the dealer menu you can configure that settings. Mine came with a 30 second delay which I thought was too long so I adjusted it to 5 seconds. We don't experience any brownouts here so a 5 second delay is fine... -

Glad you are back on! Still can't believe it took that long. -
Emergency Power/Storms/Prepping etc
Man it’s crazy to me you still don’t have power. That power utility deserves to be crucified in the media for performing this poorly on power restoration after such a small hurricane. -
Emergency Power/Storms/Prepping etc
Go to Kohler or Generacs website and look up dealers in your area. Call them up and have them come out. I called half a dozen. Three answered and only two came out. Generac was about $3k cheaper so I went with them, The electrical company that did the work has been in the area for a couple... -
Emergency Power/Storms/Prepping etc
Here is mine that was just installed. Have mulch being delivered tomorrow to replace everything the electricians stomped on and moved around so I can tidy up the area again. Ran it yesterday loaded for 30 minutes. ~2.8kW draw with the AC on and the refrigerator running. I probably got too... -
Emergency Power/Storms/Prepping etc
Texas (Houston) must have some shitty power delivery or just a non-hardened power network in general. Here in PCB FL we laugh at Cat1s. All our wooden power poles have been replaced with concrete poles. It’s been ongoing for the last 5-6 years since Hurricane Michael. Maybe the power would be... -

I do similar but use Peplink routers that can have cellular sims inserted. So when my Xfinity goes down, it switches over to my TMobile $15/month hotspot plan I keep active just for this purpose. It’s nice never loosing internet! -

It’s just going to be a rain maker for you but slightly less on the eastern side. -
Emergency Power/Storms/Prepping etc
I looked into having a manual transfer switch installed on the outside of the house with a 50A inlet for portable generator use, but I ended up nixing the idea as I don't know if my wife would be able to set all that up if I wasn't around when power went out. It's a hell of a lot cheaper though... -

I love your setup. I need to take a picture of my 24kw Generac just installed. Still waiting on a couple plumbing loose ends to tie up, but it's basically running. Now I'm figuring out how to mount my RPi in it so I can use Genmon and not their Mobile Link app. I also did some NG... -

Damn that’s a pretty good deal. Did you contract out yourself? Generac 24kw is costing me $12k for everything. Plumber is coming out today to finish plumbing it up. I had my house gas pressure increased from 1/4 psi (7” W.C.) to 2 psi so I had to also put appliances regulators on my gas grill... -

Got my Generac installed by my electrician. Now just waiting for the plumber for NG hookup. -
New IPC-Color4K-T is Out of Focus.
Yes, but long distance doesn't matter much anyway when working with focal distances this small.- biggen

New IPC-Color4K-T is Out of Focus.
The T version has a terrible minimum focus distance. I’m glad this post is here. I need to get around to modifying mine to see if I can shorten it.- biggen

I have two of them collecting dust: A 3b and 4. The 4 is overpowered for Genmon though. -
Natural Gas Generators
Yeah right on the side of the house between the NG meter and the power meter. There is a 15 foot space that will be perfect for it to sit in. I had my RPi out there today making sure I had wifi signal and I do easily from there. -
Natural Gas Generators
Well I signed the quote and put 50% down for the Generac install. Should have it done in under 2 weeks. Also broke out my old RPi 3b I had sitting in a drawer and installed Genmon to it. Just waiting on the serial HAT from pintsize.me and then I can plug it into the generator and get all... -
Natural Gas Generators
Yup. As you mentioned the Generac's need to have the valves serviced annually. It may be worth having my electricians do that yearly for a fee. I don't really want to tear into the engine for that. I can do the air filter, oil filter, oil etc.. on my own easily enough. -
Natural Gas Generators
Quote for the Generac came in at $12k including NG hookup. I think that is the play… -
Natural Gas Generators
I thought so too. I was thinking in the $12 - 13k range. NG hookup should be fairly cheap. The gen placement is only a few feet from the meter so if it costs more than $400 I'd be surprised. The Kohler's also don't come wifi ready. They told me I'd have to buy a wifi module which is an... -
Natural Gas Generators
Kohler quote was $15.5k excluding the plumbing hookup to NG for the 26kw model. Still waiting on a Generac 24kw quote. -
Natural Gas Generators
It's too bad there isn't a true 50A tri-fuel inverter portable generator. Even priced at $5k they would fly off the shelves. I've not seen any tri-fuel generator rated for more than about~30A and that is running on gasoline only. -
Natural Gas Generators
Yeah, I've looked into an even bigger one from the same company: The issue is on NG, it can only supply ~5900w which is ~24.5A. It would basically allow us to power everything EXCEPT the A/C and dryer. Dryer I don't care about obviously. -
Natural Gas Generators
Yeah your setup is sweet. That is a liquid cooled monster. You could run your neighbor's house and yours at the same time! -
Natural Gas Generators
The A/C is on a 30A breaker. The RLA on the outside unit shows 20A. In-rush current is much higher without a soft start wired in. I'd have to ask my HVAC company that did my A/C install if they could wire it in. -
Natural Gas Generators
Well just had both my local Kohler and Generac dealer/electricians come out for a quote. Still waiting on both quotes. Kohler wants to do 26kw (I could probably size down to the 20kw) and the Generac dude wants to do a 24kw. These are the air cooled NG models. We will see how many zeros they... -
Problem installing IPC-T54IR-ZE -- Default Port & IP?
This. Haven’t used a cross over cable since the late 90s! -

Ive been seeing this a lot as well. Seems to happen often when you enable/disable a camera that has audio also enabled. Disabling audio seems to help. There was a thread about it a few days ago here: Having an issue with 5.9.1.0
