I will be moving into a new home soon. The alarm panel is located in the attic. The home is nearly 10,000 sq ft two stories and the rest of the HA gear will be in a room on the first floor. I would guess the distance between the two is nearly 100 ft taking into account all the bends and turns.
I plan on replacing the panel with an ELK and will start the HA project with lighting (probably Zwave), distributed audio (probably Russound CAV6.6) and touchpanel interface (probably MainLobby or CQC). HVAC, pool control, distributed video would come later.
Does it make sense to move the alarm panel to the HA room or leave it in the attic?
