Long time lurker, first time poster. Here goes...
Bottom Line Up Front: I have 4 conductor wire home run to M1. I also have 12 system sensor 4wtab 4-wire smokes with 1 EOLR and the rss mod.
Option 0: Rewire in series or to 8 conductors at each location.(it is option 0 partially because I am a geek and partially because it is a dreadful job and I don't really want it to be an option)
Cost: 2 days of tearing apart and resealing the place.
Option 1: Buy 2 wire smokes and daisy chain in cabinet.
Cost: ~400 and figure out what to do with the 4wtab ones.
Option 2: Install EOLR at each detector.
Cost: ~150
Knowing what I know now, I would probably have gone with 2 wire originally, but it is what it is.
The Rest of the Story...
A few of years ago I ordered all the stuff for my security/automation system. Couple of deployments and some laziness later I am finally getting it all together. 3 miles of various wire installed and the place sealed up and I realize I forgot to daisy chain the smokes. Thanks ahead of time for the advice and thanks to all the folks on here that selflessly share their knowledge.
