Desperate need of repair on an Omni II Pro board. I accidentally connected the 24V xformer to the 24V screw and the 12V screw adjacent to it. Circled in blue in the pic.

I switched (no pun intended) to UPB years ago. The PCS products, in my opinion, are the best physically and electronically. I added a Homeseer Zee recently to give me voice control over the Omni. The Homeseer is more geared toward Zwave and it's integrated into the Zee2 so I've been playing with...

I think I found a solution. I can hard-wire this interface to the Sounder output on the panel http://www.simply-automated.com/documents/452-0003-0001_RevF_UMI_UserGuide_111130.pdf and use it to trigger the links. I happen to have one laying around and I'll play with it.

Great to know. Thanks!

Perfect! I'll try it when I can get my three Boxers out of the house. They go nuts when the alarm goes off!

Thanks, I did not know this about the controller. I only need to send two commands upon alarm; 1) Send a UPB Link, 2) Pulse one of the Omni Outputs for 1 second. The other alternative is to find a (if such a thing exists) module with a contact closure input or 12v input which will then generate...

I have an event that triggers "When any Alarm" and sets certain devices and turns others off. How do I create another event for when the alarm is cleared so I can undo some of the things I set during the alarm?   I know I can check users and determine if they disarmed the panel but I'd need to...

Very successfully on the Homeseer Zee with the Blade BLRussound plugin! Blade recently made some improvements to the plugin. Most notably, the ability to change/select the channels on the ST-2 XM tuner. I use the XM tuner with my HT set up independently of the whole house Russound CAV. He added...

Thanks Pete. I found this on Amazon for under $40 and it works perfectly: https://www.amazon.com/USR-TCP232-302-Serial-Ethernet-Adapter-Converter/dp/B07C1RR938/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=serial+rs232+server&qid=1592835640&s=electronics&sr=1-4

Hi Pete, In your post, you said "The Micro serial server that I purchased was made to use with the Russound serial port." Which exact model did you get?
