All,   I am moving and will be selling my HAI OmniPro II System and its peripherals. I thought the folks on this forum might be most interested. The unit is the non-flashable 3 port serial version. The unit has no issues and has served me well. I also have a bunch of UPB dimmers and lamp...

Has anyone been able to modify the code to allow arming/disarming through SmartThings?

Finally got this fixed...bad solder joint in one of the window contacts. PITA to repair but fixed. Thanks to all for the suggestions. BTW, I opted against going to the GC because they installed a Honeywell system that I ripped out and replaced with the OPII. I assumed they would want nothing to...

The house is only about 3 months old. The contact is on a window that has probably been opened twice. I'm really hoping it's not a short in the wall somewhere from a nail or screw--if that were the case though, I don't think I'd be getting values in the 160-200 range. DEL, I assume you are...

I've got a wired contact that is randomly failing. I get numerous trouble signals for a few hours about once or twice a month. It's also caused an alarm while we were asleep--that was fun. In PC Access the value fluctuates between 160-200 when it is giving a trouble signal (no resistors...

Is there a way to re-run zone discovery after it's installed? I've made some zone changes and need to update smartthings to match. Thanks.

Ok. Based on the age (and DEL's recommendation) I am just going to replace them all with 2WTA-B's. With an auxiliary power source and the RRS-MOD, it looks like I can avoid the relay mess and significantly reduce the complexity of the wiring.

Thanks all. Any reason why I can't use a standard 12v relay rather than spend $80 on a 4204?

Appreciate the responses. I thought these detectors might have a 10 year shelf life but didn't see anything in the materials indicating the need to replace. I will do that. I've got 9, so yes, it's too much for T17, so I believe I will need to use a relay in front of the reversing relay. I was...

I am working on fixing a 4-wire smoke system that a previously installer screwed up when he installed a new panel at my parent's home. I have a Vista 20P panel, 449CST smokes and a 405-03 reversing relay (the last smoke also has an EOLR built in). The previous installer did not hook up the...

Has anyone tried using the Leviton Wi-Fi switches?

Anyone have a Radio RA2 or Caseta setup?

Picta, it sounds like you really have a HomeSeer system, not a HAI system. That said, using HAI as your primary controller requires so many extra add-ons to make it work with the newer modern equipment. All of these add-ons add extra points of failure. Hate on the cloud all you want but with the...

Preach. I'm interested to hear how your search goes. PS I will likely have an OPII and a bunch of UPB switches for sale soon if anyone is interested...

    Yes, except none of those items can be easily added to a home after its built and its all old tech. Also most variable speed HVAC systems (including mine) require their proprietary t-stat.    This is exactly the problem I am trying to avoid--being forced into a very small ecosystem where you...
