I think to move the transformer in doors, I would require extra wires - I only have the RH and W1 wire on the thermostat.      The problem is that when the Omnistat tries to leach power, it lets enough current flow through the relay coil that it triggers the Omron G2R-1-SN relay and it  starts...

I have purchased 5 of the 720P HAI IP cameras.    I've got them all installed and configured, and discovered that there is no real software tool or NVR to manage these cameras, turn on motion detection and store the info on my home server for 30 days.   Can someone recommend an NVR that supports...

I've got an Omnistat RC1000 and am trying to use it to control my Hot Water boiler that runs my heating. The boiler didn't come with a 24v control line - It only had two high voltage thermostat terminals for a 120v/240v thermostat.    I hooked up a 24v relay and I also hooked up a dedicated 24v...

Should have RTFM.... didn't realize you needed 2 cables from the HIFI2 to the two way voice module. One for the signal, the other for the relay trigger. Will have to fix that first...

Will be fixing that with a snip when I finish wiring up the garage :)

Will give this a spin. If it doesn't work off the main board, I'll try draw the power from the optional power supply I've got installed in the can that I use to wire the smart card readers and many of the motion/smoke/CO detectors.

I've got an HAI system, but think it would be similar. I ran a two-wire cable (same type as I use for my window/door contact sensors) from my panel to my garage door opener (there's a relay contact on there for open/close) this was wired to a general purpose relay board on the omni, and a...

My External Siren has a separate strobe, which I've hooked up to a voltage output. Is this the right way to configure? What's the code I use to activate the strobe (on alarm) and leave it running until the alarm is disarmed?

what's the easiest way to trigger a light on the module to help troubleshoot whether the module is working/receiving power?

It's a challenge - but I've moved from Seattle to Australia, and the building codes are different. For example, the 4WTB models aren't approved by the fire department/authority here, but the 2012Js are. In light of that I had to ensure that the system would meet building codes first, and then...

The smoke detector is UL listed, it is a System Sensor 2012J. Here's a link: 1012 Ionization and 2012 Photoelectronic Smoke ... - System Sensor The CO detector was also a System Sensor model. Just wasn't great information on exactly how to wire it to a monitored panel vs a power supply

I suspect my two way voice module is not working, but don't know if this is so, or if I just haven't configured it in the dealer access software correctly. When the two way voice module arrived, a couple of the ribbon cable connectors tore from the circuit board (very bad design btw) when I...

The Co detector is working fine now on constant current, but I moved it to off Zone 1-4 so that I could correctly set the zone type to Gas. The fire detector is also working fine. It turned out I had wired it wrong - I mis-interpreted the directions thinking I only needed 4 wires for a smoke...

A bit of trial and error, and I made some progress. The relay does appear to have it's own power supervision / trouble built in, so no need for an EOL relay, but I did include the EOL resistor. I set the jumper to NRM, and wired it up the auxiliary 12V (contrary to the HAI manual which...

I'm trying to wire up a 4-wire carbon monoxide sensor from System Sensor. Unfortunately, the information in the installation manual doesn't go into a lot of detail on how to wire up a CO sensor, and what zone to configure it as. I'm using the System Sensor CO1224T detector, and I have 2 of...
