I have an OmniPro2 controller running my house automation and security.  Lots of automation scripts, with many door and window contacts, PIR motion sensors, Omnistat thermostats,  UPB devices,  Leviton dimmers and switches, OmniNotifier email board, etc... everything.   A really full system...

I've read some more... and now I see that OpenHAB 2 can connect to HAI OP2.    So that is a new path for me and I'm going to read/learn about OpenHAB 2 on RaspberryPi and see if I can get it all to connect to my OP2.     OpenHAB 2 looks like it can do a ton of neat stuff.    best, Dave

Pete, My OmniNotifier is acting up and not sending out any emails now for the past week.  I've re-loaded all the settings, still using Leviton Cloud (which has worked fine last couple of years)... still no emails get sent.  Frustrating.   I am not sure if the Leviton Cloud is down... or is the...

I have proven to myself several times that the OP2 is very susceptible to having SYSTEM RESET issues if its Ethernet interface has too much traffic and/or broadcast packets overload due to some other device on the home LAN.   I made some progress when I determined (using WireShark packet...

UPDATE:  I have determined that the reason my OmniPro II controller had been doing SYSTEM RESETs... is related to its ETHERNET interface.  There is no hardware issue (as best as I can tell).   Upon disconnecting the ethernet cable from the OmniPro II controller, waiting a few seconds and then...

I have OmniPro II controller running 4.0b firmware; with 2 additional 16-zone expansion boards; 4 Omnistat2 RC1000WH thermostats, one keypad.   Brand new home installation 3 years ago; worked perfectly for 3 years until 2 weeks ago.    I've noticed multiple entries in the SYSTEM LOG with "SYSTEM...

I'm interested in what you found out... did you finally solve this issue.  Mu OmniPro2 is suddenly acting up after 3+ years of perfect operation... similar issue here.   Pls let me know...  THANK YOU!   Dave  

  I too had this issue.  I solved it by making sure I used a STRAIGHT-THRU 6-conductor modular cable as well as making sure my PC COM port was 9600 baud, 7 data bits, EVEN parity.  Then the program recognized the Rain8 model correctly.   [sharedmedia=gallery:images:1017]

  Hello... is this confirmed that Arduino CANNOT implement the OMNILINK2 protocol to successfully communicate over Ethernet to the OmniPro2 controller???   I am going down this path since I dont want to use all my MESSAGES in OP2 and be forced to send over serial port.     Please let us know if...

Leviton HAI OmniPro2 controller with 8-port relay board, connected to Arduino microcontroller, which then sends the 15-character hex sequence to control the Somfy motorized solar shades upon control from the automation programs within OmniPro2.

Selected photos of our home automation using HAI OmniPro2 controller.

Definitely run 120 vac as well as a twisted pair to each window (locate near an upper corner of window frame).    We have Somfy ILT motors and RS485 control to each motor.   Wonderful system, and all under automation control now.  Very pleased.   Good luck!

Fantastic info!   Thanks for posting.   I too have an HAI OP2 controller and Somfy RS485 RTS SDN network for my solar shades.     I finally got everything working once I realized that the OP2 serial ports cannot send out 8O1 (8 data bits, ODD parity, 1 stop bit)... and I too then added an...

Hello all... just got my new HAI OmniPro2 controller going and using PC Access to write some automation.     I have a few "Extended Range Temperature Sensors" ... and want to log the temp values at various times of the day.  I can see in the PC Access automation tab the ability to access the...
