    First Time Homeowner with amateur hour questions about my pre-installed system

    I'm set up as you described.    I did get this reply (finally) from tech support at Nextalarm: Any numbers can be assigned to the account number, 4-digits, and the receiver number, 11-digits.  Your alarm system has to be set to Contact ID and DTMF/tone dialing. Once the programming is updated...

    First Time Homeowner with amateur hour questions about my pre-installed system

    How, or do I set up dialing on OPii in dealer access to use Nextalarm? Got the broadband adapter with three solid greens (router and phone cable to jack right of the  networking jack to the right of the five serial ports on the OPii) and went onto Nextalarm website, set up panel info as other...

    OmniPro II networking setup.

    I appreciate the feedback.   NAT was enabled in my router under WAN settings and NAT passthrough is enabled as well. I set up port forwarding for the LAN static IP and identified the port as 4369, the default on the OPii. Protocol is TCP. Tested out fine with the public IP address with wifi off...

    OmniPro II networking setup.

    Thanks, I'm up and running UPB now with a few gremlins. I haven't seen anything on these boards about a successor to Haiku, which I still have on my Iphone. (Most of the reviews of Space I read did not make it sound like a real successor.) It is recognizing the zones and units for the sensors...

    OmniPro II networking setup.

    I have reached another roadblock on the UPB. I took the HAI PIM off the serial to USB adapter and did the 5x 10x and 1x with a toothpick to take it out of setup mode and attached it to Serial port 3 on the OPii panel which is UPB Function under the expansion tab in PC Access, Double checked that...

    OmniPro II networking setup.

    Thanks Pete, You are a wonderful asset to this board and community. I'm up and running with PC access after logging into my router and setting a static IP matching the one I hard keyed into the keypad. Updated the firmware, entered the hardwire zones. Next step is getting the UPB linked in. From...

    OmniPro II networking setup.

    I'm an old newbie who needs OPii network help. I attended the Automated Outlet OPii installers class in Houston about four years ago and installed the panel in my home in Houston. Then I sold it, moved to Canada for work and now have moved back to Ft Worth. I have an OPii panel (3.10A) in my new...

    What's the big secret to getting UPStart to work?

    Just wanted to say as an 'oldbie' what a great resource this board is. I had an Omnipro ii setup with UPB at a place I had in Houston a couple of years ago. I was a regular at Automated Outlet and took the OPii installer's course. I sold the place in Houston and ended up taking a job in Calgary...

    Haiku What happened to Haiku?

    Ok, so now we are in Feb of 2017. Has anything come of Haiku / Space? I've bought a new house and am ready for the install, which I assumed was going to be Omnipro ii. I've opted for several apps rather than the app of everything, but was planning on Haiku for security and UPB at a minimum...

    Remote Access trouble

    I was having a lot of trouble getting my remote Haiku to work with ATT Uverse. I had no problem with the wifi setup, but did have trouble setting up a second 'anywhere in the world' account. There is a lot of information on the web and the Uverse site about port forwarding, but it only takes you...

    Simply Automated Input Output 32

    Even though I have it working, it sounds like a zone rather than a link is the way to go for this application. Probably a newbie question, but is there any difference between wired and wireless zones, besides the general superiority of wired. In other words is the programming and notification...

    Simply Automated Input Output 32

    Thanks for all the input. I've got it working with two simple automation programs as a test.  ON is when the door is open and OFF is when it is closed.    WHEN Garage Sensor NC ON     THEN Kitchen Sink Ceiling Light ON FOR 1 MINUTE WHEN Garage Sensor NC OFF   THEN Dining Room Chandelier ON FOR 1...

    Simply Automated Input Output 32

    Thanks, I'll try these out today. I was using a low number for the link because somehow, I ended up with links in the 190s that said they were Reserved for HLC House switch buttons. This hasn't impacted the functioning of the link to open and close the garage door though which is still set on...

    Simply Automated Input Output 32

    Thanks, I have most of what you discussed done, but the devil is in the details and the documentation on Transmit Components settings is nowhere to be found. (I guess it's supposed to be intuitive.) I was looking at another post 'Gas fireplace with SA UMI-32 I/O and HAI OPII - Help' with similar...

    Simply Automated Input Output 32

    I've got that part. It is set up as a link, just the same as Receive Ch1 that opens or closes the garage door, but the status of the link or unit for both door open and door closed is always on. I had read on another post here to set the transmit input command to activate, but I'm wondering if...
