Probably not a good idea to rely on a controller you are setting up a few days before you leave town. You will want to monitor it for at least several weeks before leaving it unattended.

What are you specifically having trouble with? Programming?

i having truble with the dc8 getting power like the green led is on but it wont turn anything i plug in to it on.

Verify that the cable connecting them is in the "out" from the controller and the "in" ion the DC8. Also verify that your switches are correct and match your programming code. If you don't have your labeling set up properly, nothing will work.

do i have to have all the pluges plugged in before i turn it on?

the phone cord has 4 wires in it not 2 right?

lol i think that may be it because i broke the one that came with it (4wires) and just grabed another cable from the back (2wire). i now have a 4 wire one on it and we will see in the morning if its good.

thanks everyone for your help michael
