Can Two OmniPro II's talk to each other?

Is this possible? Two (or more) OmniPro II's in the same physical location.
 
Can they send notifications to each other, share sensor information, etc?
 
They cannot on a basic level, however it is possible using SDK. Haiku application integrates multiple controllers and you can write your own logic as well.
 
Thank you for this info.
 
Just a follow up for anyone who finds this thread: Use HaikuHelper, which is an application that runs on a service of a Mac computer. HaikuHelper sits on top of the HAI OmniPro unit and you can program directly in HaikuHelper using a JavaScript syntax. The Mac can run multiple OmniPro's, and reference multiple units in one piece of code. So door sensor from system 1 and temp sensor on system 2 can be referenced in a single logic statement in HaikuHelper.
 
For basic communication I've also connected two together via the serial ports and used messages between them.  This works for rudimentary communication such as letting one system know the other's status (armed, disarmed, alarming), or passing info for specific zones.
