When we built our home, I hard-wired the security panel with 30-40 zones using 1K EOLR at the end of that zone.  I'm afraid my current Leviton OmniPro is on it's last leg.  Since Leviton has discontinued the OmniPro Panel, I was curious if anyone knew of a security panel that used 1K EOLRs?  I...

That's good to know about the Cartel sensors. I ran across their website, but didn't look too much since the were wired. Maybe I just need to run a wire and install an expansion panel in the garage. Currently, my panel is upstairs and to run it to the driveway would be about 500-600 ft. Just...

Ok, I have a Omnipro II with a 64 Zone Receiver and Driveway Sensor.  I remember reading somewhere that Leviton was discontinuing these products.  Sure enough, I go to look for a replacement Driveway Sensor (since the delivery truck driver went way off the driveway and took it out!) and can't...

The only concerns is the 1000ft limitation of the expansion boards; the 1000ft for the Access Control Readers; and figuring out how to connect multiple Omnipro systems together over a network for a single reporting location.  Network and communications isn't the issue, it's having one screen to...

So the company I work for having me explore the idea of replacing our 1981 security system.  In new expansion areas of the building there are one-off solutions for various doors, etc.  Everything since the 80's has been piecemeal together.     We are looking at four sites.  All sites have...

Just wanted to post an update to this.  I ended up installing the Telguard TG-4.  The TG-4 can be used for dual path and can be primary or secondary path.  It was easy to get up and going.  For the most part, once the SIM was activated, it was ready to go out of the box.

Thanks rockinarmadillo.  Glad to know that it's supposed to generate a little heat!

I installed the Leviton 39A00-1 phase coupler a few weeks ago.  Today, I was in the attic where it is installed next to the panel and touched it.  I was kind of surprised when it felt warm; not hot or dangerous.  When took a Infrared Temp of it, it was running around 104F.  The attic wall next...

I have read where a lot of providers have sunset 2G in most areas; which seems to make the C3 Cellular Communications Center irrelevant.  The last post I've seen regarding the C3 was from 2015. I was curious what people are using as an alternative/replacement?  I've looked at the Telguard TG-1...

Thank ano for the suggestion.  I have re-uploaded the configs.  I made a few changes to some programming this afternoon (before it flaked out again) and always upload everything.  Just not sure.  I'm really leaning towards the trouble being on the HVAC side, but I'm not an HVAC guy.  I just know...

I upgraded two nights ago and may be having issues with an Omnistat controller.  I've got three Omnistats; one on a dual fuel which is having the issues.  Seems to either be losing power or something.  What I notice is that the air handler will shutdown for a few seconds, then kick back on...

Madas,        I've had the same thing happen to me.  If you hit 00 on the keypad, it will disable the beeps and entry chime.  Press 01 and it will enable it.  It took me a bit, but I noticed when my son enters the code, he sometimes hits 00 while entering the code.  We have the beeper disabled...

I have an OmniPro II and Omnistat 2 thermostats.  I've got a way to log when my heating and cooling kicks on/off.  Now, I'm looking for a way to log temperatures when my HVAC units kick on.  I'm not seeing anything other than logging messages.  Does anyone know if this is possible or a potential...

Thanks for the reassurance.  At first I thought something was wrong, but when I did some info digging, it looked like it was actually running fine. I guess the one thing that concerned me was the motor running and potentially wearing out.  But realize that it's probably harder on the motor...
