Hi all, We are building a new house and it will be LEED certified. LEED certification requires the smoke detectors to be CO detectors as well (or have the same number of CO detectors). I have a pro coming in and doing the HAI OmniProII and the security install. He will be installing smoke...

I got some excellent suggestions in the last question I posted so I decided to post another one :) I am a bit confused on the different audio zones in the house. By the way, pre-wiring happens next week. Here is the list of rooms in the house that I am thinking of making audio zones: Bedroom...

Jautor, I think I am going to go with your second route, nuvo to Onkyo and back. It will probably add an extra step in the control of everything but will give me flexibility to be watching sports on tv but listening to music on the speakers; at least that is what I am thinking right now. Thank...

Wayne, how have you wired your speakers between Onkyo and Nuvo? Here is what I got out of the wiring diagram, let me know if I am right - Nuvo to Nuvo keypad, Local Source (Onkyo) to LSI24, LSI24 to speakers and LSI24 to keypad. Do I also have to wire from Keypad to speakers? Also, you...

Hi All, I am currently designing my home audio and video distribution system and am confused about a few things. First here is what I will have: Nuvo Grand Concerto 8 zones, Family room being one of the zones In-ceiling speakers in all 8 zones, including the family room Avatrix 6x7 matrix...

All right, just talked to the installer. Even if I was to not get the smokes from him, he said he still cannot give me the installer code. The only person he can give the installer code to is another licensed monitoring company, he says. However, he also said that the only reason I would...

Ano, can you clarify "does prevent you from changing any setting (but not programming or other user settings) on the panel"? Isn't it the same thing? Can you please provide me with examples of each? To give you an idea of what I am planning to do - I will be buying and installing a Nuvo Grand...

Ano, can you clarify "does prevent you from changing any setting (but not programming or other user settings) on the panel"? Isn't it the same thing? Can you please provide me with examples of each? I am definitely getting the fire alarms; we have to under code. The only question is whether...

I am getting an HAI OmniPro II installed by a pro along with the security (doors, windows), fire alarms and omnistat. I was planning to add and program the lighting later myself. However according to the installer, if they install the fire alarms, they will have to password protect the OmniPro...
