I have read a couple of messages here that say it's possible to wire the M1XEP to the M1G for power. I have the M1XEP and M1G in the same can and would love to provide the power from the panel. I like the idea of having the battery there to provide backup. I'm not against putting a battery backup in the can but haven't found one small enough to fit and I'm not against buying a bigger battery or a second battery as some have suggested. Another option I have thought about but not looked further at is getting one of the poe injectors/splitters to possibly power the XEP.
Currently I have the following:
M1G
M1XEP
2 - Serial Expanders
M1XOVR
3 - Keypads
2 Temp Sensors
3 Smoke
5 Window Sensors
4 Motions
7 Doors
2 Glass Breaks
Two Way Listen In TWA
4 Flush Mount Speaker/Mics
Can you help me with what the best option to get the XEP powered so that it has a few minutes of runtime at least when the power goes out? The best option probably would be a poe injector/splitter for me as where the ethernet terminates is on battery backup/generator.
Thanks,
Andy
