"Dale was very professional and took the time to let us decide which tint to use. Very happy with the results."

"I've used Husband For a Day several times and once again they did a great job. The siding and trim on my chimney was in need of replacement due to weather induced rot. I had wanted to replace the wood based materials with composites because of exposure to the elements. Dale came out and gave me a detailed estimate and work was scheduled promptly. This was a difficult job requiring a lot of effort and working in high places because my chimney is not straight or on the side of the house. But both the carpenters and the painter didn't bat an eye. They clambered up on the roof and even up on top of the chimney itself to get the work done and the result looks great! I will be sure to call on Husband For a Day for any future home repairs."

"We went with the Honeywell Tuxedo Touch Home Automation Controller which is enabled for a Total Connect 2.0 security monitoring/home automation account.  With this, we also purchased a Vista 21IP alarm panel, a 5883H wireless receiver (which we installed into the panel), Honeywell wireless sensors for motion detection, glass breakage, door/window opening, fire/smoke detection, Carbon Monoxide detection and garage door tilt.  We also purchased some Honeywell sirens to scare off intruders and alert us to alarms going off anywhere in the house.  We already had cable internet and a gigabit wireless router with high level encryption.  LiveWatch once we signed up with them would provide the cellular 4G card for the alarm panel.  By breakdown in communication, we had to rush ship a 6160 keypad to program the panel. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />The most difficult part, and this is where I would suggest getting a licensed installer if your mind turns to mush just reading the manual for all the codes to enter for the numerous panel options.  I did, and I manage and configure computer equipment for a living, so don't feel bad about contracting this part out.  They'll configure the panel with all the appropriate settings, document all configuration parameters in the book (if they don't document in the provided pages in the manual, tell them they aren't getting paid.  they'll put the information in real quick or leave in which case you can get a better installer to program it).  This documentation should include installer and master codes, configuration codes chosen for each section and if applicable, email and phone numbers programmed into panel for notification of alarms. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />So now that the scary part is over, we can connect our security system's siren.  Wait?!  Siren!  Oh yeah, that thing that's going to be the most likely part of your home security system that will make an intruder want to leave immediately (other than your double-barreled rifle pointing at their face of course).  For this, we went with the Honeywell Wave2PD piezo siren (same as a smoke detector alarm, both in size and loudness (eg. decibel or db).  This we mounted to our central air ducts (think echo chamber) so the sound travels anywhere the air is heated or cooled. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <strong>Note that US building codes say you can't have non-plenum wires in ducts.  What you CAN do with the sirens is mount them directly against the outside of the duct with the siren facing the duct.</strong> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Now, you can program your Tuxedo Touch after powering up the alarm panel so that it can connect to your wireless router, or use the RJ45 (ie. Cat5e) hardwired connection to said router.  Use installer code which we won't be advertising here since it is in your manual and doesn't need to be handed out to criminals browsing the internet.  Setup year, month, day and time, set weather to your zipcode and setup some home automation via "scenes".  Scenes are what will be the brains behind our smart outlets, smart bulbs, etc.  Your Tuxedo will have access to see (not modify) the status of all sensors programmed into the alarm panel. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Finally, if you haven't done so already, work with your Security installer and/or Security Representative (in our case a LiveWatch rep and security engineer) to activate your monitoring at which point they can provide you the Total Connect 2.0 login for your Tuxedo (and Smartphone if applicable) as well as your alarmnet.com login (assuming they are using alarmnet like 99% of monitoring companies). <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />As for the experience with LiveWatch, I can say that overall I was very pleased.  The Service rep I worked with over both phone and chat (Dominic) was professional, patient and good-natured despite all my questions about LiveWatch.  When there was difficulty enrolling our alarm panel main board, he provided an email where I sent him the photo of the information he needed and he worked with an engineer there to complete enrollment for account creation. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />The only negative, which was rapidly addressed when it was brought to their attention, was that an incorrect model of cellular card was shipped to me.  But like I said, they rapidly addressed this, getting the correct card pre-configured, and shipped the next morning (FedEx doesn't pickup after 5PM normally).  In addition, without asking for it, the engineer I was speaking with applied a free month of service to my account for the mistake.  The next morning I got the support ticket resolution email, but didn't get a tracking number.  So I chatted with Dominic who apologized for the confusion and determined the package was awaiting pickup, at which point I would receive tracking information.  Again, before I could even ask (and I type pretty fast), Dominic applied Overnight shipping on the correct card awaiting pickup at no cost. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />At this point, I'm just awaiting delivery at which point, Justin from LiveWatch will be calling at the scheduled time of day to guide me through installing the cellular card into the alarm panel and any other required steps at which point he will provide my TC2.0 and alarmnet.com account details when he verifies monitoring is successfully activated. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <strong>Update 10/15/2015</strong> <br /> <br />So I received a replacement GSMV4G cellular communicator and connected it to the charged battery from the one I already had plugged in.  I did this so that I could walk around the house checking for the best cellular signal possible in places where I could run network cables and power to the external device.  Eventually I found the best location (ironically) was right underneath a stairway.  I say ironically because it was actually fairly close to several large metal appliances/electronic devices.  I tested the new location by moving the communicator 6 inches to the left, the right and one step down and signal strength went from 4 of 5 bars down to 1 or 2 bars. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />I mounted the communicator in the new location, ran new network and power cable to it and worked with Pablo from LiveWatch (Level 2 technician) who confirmed excellent signal strength and full connectivity from the communicator, to the cell tower, to the alarmnet servers and finally to their central monitoring station. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />We then performed a test on the system by opening the front door to fault the sensor after arming the system in test mode (test mode at CMS).  It took less than 1 second for him to see the fault notification which was perfect!  After that was completed, Pablo sent me the login information for Total Connect 2.0 login for the default user which was under my email that I provided him previously. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />I also retrieved my home insurance policy number and called LiveWatch support to have them assist with getting my insurance discount.  I provided the policy number, agent first and last name, agent email and agent phone number and confirmed my home address.  The LiveWatch agent entered all the information into the form and sent it via email to my insurance agent and to my registered email address. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Due to the requirements of the city I live in, I will have to contact a specific individual for a permit form to authorize LiveWatch to contact Police/Fire/Medical (all one permit which has no cost) on my behalf.  Once I get the permit form, fill it out and get it approved, all LiveWatch requires is the permit number, though I'll probably just email them a copy of it along with a blank form so they can have it in their system for other Aurora, IL residents. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <strong>Update 10/21/2015</strong> <br /> <br />I had to purchase some more 14 gauge electrical"
