I think I'm going to run out of serial ports on my planned HAI installation.
 
As far as I can tell, the console has 5 serial ports I can use.
 
I plan to hook up the following devices:
 
Can the Swipe card readers be daisy chained, or both home run to the same serial port?
Do I need more than 1 x somfy controller to control 2 rooms of blinds (they are street facing rooms and I want to program the alarm to close the blinds upon arming).

I plan to hook up the following devices:
- Weather proof HAI keypad (to trigger garage door opening via LV relay)
 - 2 x HAI swipe card reader
 - Somfy ILT controller (can I use one controller, to control blinds in 2 different rooms, or do I need 2 controllers?)
 - Coolmaster (HVAC interface for 8 split system air conditioners)
 - Rain8Net
