Had lightning strike nearby outside and looks like it took out my OmniPro and my RC2000 OmniStat.
When it happend, power flickered, kicked off all my UPS's for my computers and the Omni keypad immediately started beeping like trouble, I though oh one of my sensors got hit. Went to the keypad to view trouble and keypad is sitting at "NO CONTROLLER DATA". Tried to access on my iPhone, nothing, but the internet is still up.
Opened up can and the power LED is on but status led is not blinking. Tried power cycle and nothing. Noticed the OmniStat would not light up either, A/C was running, but I think the relay was just stuck on.
Luckly my old RC80 tstat which I had hooked up in the garage as a temp sensor, and was on the same comm and power bus was still functional. I switched it out to get the A/C running again (Although only one stage cooling and no heat).
Still accessing damage, thought a HAI UPB relay switch that controlled outside lights was a gonner too, but this morning it started working again, even a circuit power cycle did nothing for it yesterday.
Physically inspecting the Omni board looks like a resistor next to the large coil in the power supply section has a leg unsoldiered, doesn't look burnt, just as though someone cleanly unsoldier the leg from the board.
The Omnistat looks like it has a choke labeled "pf 417" that has a somewhat melted plastic case but hard to tell if that just they way its made.
Nothing else seems damaged in the house(4 computers, tvs, etc.) neighbor had phones and tv get taken out. I am thinking inductance on the LV lines and not coming in through the power, as I have good ground and a spark gap on the meter, and only the Omni was affected, but who knows.
BTW I have FIOS for phone internet and tv, and since it's glass there no way it came in that way, only conductor coming into house from the outside is power.
Just figured I would share what lightning could do, still got to figure out if my homeowners policy will cover anything, and see if anyone has had similar experience with lightning and the Omni.
