I've read the manual for installation and it sounds very plug n play.
Some info prior to installation relating to what I have but not totally installed yet. Not sure yet on the expansion "plan"
I currently have two keypad consoles installed and plan on installing two first gen touch screen keypads to the mix (total of 4). The touchcreens to expand on the 4 Russound KPL keypads for the Russound CAS44 control. I have filled the first expansion module and have a second one but not installed it yet.
I have purchased both the 45A00-1 and the 42A00-2 wireless receivers. I plan on added a "few" different wireless devices but will mostly depend on my "wired" to the panel setup. Additionally have an X10, UPB and Z-Wave controller plugged into the panel at this time.
Questions:
1 - My panel is in the basement of my two story home. I have the means to put both (or one) wireless receiver either in the attic, 2nd floor or first floor. Not sure of best placement for best coverage. (I have a second 45A00-1 if I need it). Main floor of the home is brick and 2nd floor is frame. I currently "test" my sprinkler system zones outside by using a wireless X10 keypad and would like to maybe switch over to new wireless. House sits on approximately 3/4-1 acre lot with sprinkler zones adjacent to home and on periferals of property. I also purchased a Cartell system (one) and it looks like I would need two to cover my driveway. I have a concern on one side of the driveway relating to trenching and sidewalks. So now entertaining wireless means using HAI wireless driveway sensor. (for drive motion sensing I am currently using an Optex combo security camera and one outdoor motion PIR). In additon trigger motion with security video motion detection. For house owned automobiles using RF-ID's.
2 - Will I be limited by power draw to console connections? If I connect 2 regular keypads, 2 touchscreen first gen keypads, 2 45A00-1 and 1 42A00-2 to the OPII?
3 - alarm triggering will be based only on the wired connections and wanting to utilize wireless for status reporting only.
4 - Is anyone on the forum doing similiar? If so have you had any issues?
