You have not seen the dialer go bad, Pete?
No with some 6 pro bono installs and myself personally with 4 installs of the OmniPro 2 panel.
I personally burnt a new OmniPro 2 panel wiring it up in the dark...HAI replaced it.
What would you do if you were having this issue?
Buy a used one.
It's tough to find a new board now, though I do already have a second old board that I wish I could get repaired. I wish I had a schematic and some troubleshooting info for the LT board.
What is wrong with the second old board? Buy another used one.
I know that the HAI repair database is still owned by Leviton. It would be great if they could make it public domain. Or someone could reverse engineer the old boards.
I'm thinking about maybe switching out for a Honeywell panel but would my components work with that? Door reed switches and motion sensors probably would, what about HAI temp/humidity sensors?
Yes and no on the HAI Temperature - Humidity sensors. Here have always had multiple HAI Temperature and Humidity sensors. Concurrently did also multiple 1-Wire networks (1990's).
I'd have to get a new console too, no doubt. And an expansion board and second power supply...
Yes.
I have always preferred wired over wireless relating to everything security related. House #2 doesn't need security, CCTV, Automation. It is my personal sandbox.
Personally way back liked the add of automation to the HAI and Elk security panels. In the 1980's here purchased a combo security panel with speech, X10 and many zones. The alarm panel board was the size of an iTX computer board. Name was Excalibur and found it in an advertisement in Radio Electronics at the time. I kept that board going until around 2001.
Its really up to you what it is you want to do and what you want to tinker with or not.
