I thought I was pretty clever having my Elk annunciation and siren play through our whole home audio Nuvo system. I have rules that whenever the Audio Amplifier turns on to set the Nuvo to paging mode and it works great.
Then our power went out the last week. The Nuvo is on a UPS but it only lasts minutes.
I then went to sleep with the power out and the house armed. However if the alarm went off the only way I would know is from my keypads beeping.
I want to keep things simple now and get some standard speaker/sirens to wire up. Any suggestions? Elk and my wife disagree on the aesthetics of Echo 73. Any tricks?
Covert speakers in closets? Hidden speakers in ceiling/wall? Mount the speaker on the wall under the bed? A separate amp to drive the home audio speakers? Massive UPS for Nuvo?
