Need Replacement for HAI OmniPro II

[jeremyg]

I have an OmniPro II that's been installed since 2007. I had a dealer I worked with since moving here in 2013, but he's in hospice and the company is now defunct. the board has been replaced at least once (a few years ago). It seems the main board is having issues (phantom beeps, losing time, temperature sensors not reliable) and I am losing the ability to rely on the system.

I do some basic DIY stuff (replacing/installing switches, programming), but I don't have the time or know-how to do this replacement myself.

I am looking for a "one stop shop" solution to replace what I have in the most reasonable way, while maintaining as much of the functionality that I have, and using the existing wiring. What is out there that can do everything?

Here's a basic rundown of what I have:

• 1 main panel
• 1 expansion panel (on another floor)
• 2 touchscreens and 2 keypad consoles
• 64 wired zones (window, door, motion, smoke, CO, GB)
• 50 UPB Light switches and scene controllers (many switches are hidden with scene controllers running the larger spaces)
• 5 thermostats (centrally located) and an unknown number/location of in-wall temp sensors
• 200 lines of automation (mostly scheduled lighting). I use buttons, flags, user settings, etc. as part of the automation

Does Control4 handle everything?

Consider going with a https://konnected.io board for alarm, sensors, relay board + Hubitat. This will give you better lighting control than what you've got with Omni / OmniPro 2 and partly why we created this free integration https://github.com/xeren-io UPB is still great. This also works with Apple, Alexa, and Google home assistant devices. I am also working on finding a good alternative to the Leviton Omni-Touch screens via POE android or Linux device. Trying to allow people to keep their existing sensors and UPB investment without breaking the bank.

Welcome to Cocoontech @UPBeat.

I've read good things about the konnected alarm boards. I did tinker with Hubitat for a while and have a couple of older Hubitat devices.

Still a OmniPro 2 user, Homeseer user and Home Assistant user here. Also still using X10, UPB, Zigbee, ZWave and Wireless Tasmota.

Just recently decided to stick to UPB and X10 (Christmas decorations) after testing Zigbee, ZWave and Tasmota in wall switches.

I kept my Leviton Omni-Touch screens by migrating to custom build Atom based touchscreens running embedded Windows. I am able to replicate the Omnitouch software just fine. I am also running Homeseer Touch on same Windows touchscreens. (15 tabletops)

For use with Home Assistant and Android OmniTouch testing one of these:



A year or so ago tried the Sonoff NSPanel Pro and while tiny it worked fine as a touchscreen for OmniPro 2, Homeseer and Home Assistant.
