Lew. Greetings from Louisville, KY!
Thanks for the info I've gotten already while lurking in the background, and in advance for the "more to come".
I am a 15-year chemical engineer and have concentrated on process controls (at work only) for much of the last 10. After getting a couple of quotes to install systems (ADT and a local company) and then doing some research, I decided that this was too close of a match to my day-job to let someone else have all of the fun.
So, I am setting up a home system for the first time:
- Omnipro II
- Mostly wireless inputs (via HAI 64-zone receiver)
- Rain8 sprinkler control module
- about 10 @ HAI UPB appliance switches
I have an ~85 year old, three-story house with a detached garage. My immediate need is to get the sprinkler control working so that I can stop manually bypassing the zone valves twice a day (so our sod doesn't die). As I've now found out, that is easily the most complicated part of the whole installation. I may have to post a couple of questions later today if my searching proves fruitless (UPB commnuications are not functional).
Cheers-
Lew
