One of my HAI RC-2000 thermostats has gone bad. Display looks OK but it will not activate my HVAC. I swaped it our with another RC-2000 and the HVAC runs OK so I know it is the thermostat. Had a bad storm come thru with lots of lightning so it is possible that caused the problem. Is there is...

My OPII has been working fine for over a year but it suddenly will not talk to my network. It still works just fine otherwise. I checked the IP address via the console and everything still looks OK. Red LED's on main board appear to indicate everything is OK. I have swapped out LAN cables...

I have 2 metal gates with a deadbolt to secure them. Looking for a way to monitor the deadbolt position so I can verify the gate is actually locked. No viable way to run wire to them so I need a wireless solution. I currently have a Omni Pro II with a GE wireless receiver as well as an X-10...

Recently converted to Uverse for TV, phone and internet. Been very happy with it except for one issue. Service is all digital and it is giving me problems with my OPII setup. When the Uverse system has any problem, my RG (Residental Gateway) "resets" and that can lead to temporary...

Just hooked up a Sony XDR-F1HD AM/FM tuner to my sound distribution system (HAI HiFi). I have not been able to get the IR signal to control the tuner (via the HiFi system) as it is supposed to do. I did some web searches and found some info that indicates it is easy to overload the IR...

I have always considered Crestron to be a expensive but good high end system that is not considered a DIY project. Seldom see it even mentioned on this forum and I would think that most installs are done by pro installers which would also provide the equipment. However, I always see tons of...

Trying to program some X-10 related actions in PCAccess for my OPII. I see how to receive an X-10 command as a trigger but I cannot find any way to issue an X-10 command such as to activate a X-10 chime unit. Am I missing something or that not possible? If it is not possible, why does HAI use...

Supposed to get AT&T Uverse installed next week. Will wind up with TV/phone/Internet in a bundle. My talks with sales people about the technical aspects of Uverse has been underwelming. Most technical info I have come up with is by visiting a friend with Uverse to see how it was set up plus...

Just installed a HAI "Two-Way Audio/Voice Alarm Module" in a OPII setup. I am using it to make event announcements (aka...page) thru the HAI HiFi system. If the HiFi is already active (playing music), it works OK. However, if it is not already active, the announcement typically starts with...

My current OPII system is built around UPB but I also have the capability to play around with X-10. Looking at using X-10 for some non critical/safety situations because the components are dirt cheap compared to similar UPB units. I know X-10 has communications issues but that is not what I am...

Would like something simple and cheap to alert me when my trash can has been emptied. After I place the trash cans out for pickup, they are emptied via robotic arm on trash truck. Looking for a way to use my Omni Pro II (with attached GE wireless receiver) to alert me that the cans have been...

In a few months, my local elec utility (OG&E) will start installing "Smart Meters" for 100% of its customers in Norman OK. That includes me. They are also soliciting 3000 volunteers to participate in a study as part of the installation. Additional information about this can be found in news...

As far as I can determine, none of the Omni Pro II zones can be configured to read voltage levels from a sensor so you can use a specific voltage level as a trigger in a command. At first I thought the temperature sensors might be set up that way but I discovered that the OPII reads a frequency...

My OPII has a tendancy to lose time. I know I can go into the settings in PCAccess and do an automatic daily time adjustment up to plus/minus 30 seconds per day but this seems a rather crude way of trying to keep good time on the controller. Is there a way to tap into an official time sources...

A new year is almost upon us and it is time to make our New Year's Resolutions. I will start the ball rolling with mine. What's yours? 1) Install all the HA goodies that I have collected but have not found time to install. I doubt that I am the only person here with this issue ;) 2) Stop...

How do I adapt multiple hardwire expanders (10A00-1) to an Omni Pro II? I already have one mounted on the Omni Pro II controller board along with a very short 20 pin flatwire cable from J3 on the Omni board to J2 on the expander board. How would I mount additional hardwire expander boards? If...

Looking for a simple wireless alarm system suitable for a mom and a 3 year old in a small appartment. Would need to monitor one door and 3 sliding windows. All windows are sliding (two big panes) and are on the ground floor. Although they would need a circuit to monitor the open/closed...

I would like to capture the time duration that a NC circuit is open on my OPII. I know how to trigger a message or email when the circuit goes open or closed but that is not what I want to do. I would like to find a way to capture that time span in a file that I can view. I need to monitor...

The Omni Pro II board has a place to plug in a HAI product (10A09-7) that appears to be a X-10 PIM. How does that work? 1) Can X-10 and UPB coexist OK? 2) Can an X-10 sensor trigger an action via a UPB device? Vice-versa? I have never worked with any X-10 system but I am curious what role...

Looking for options on an weatherproof exterior motion sensor that can tie back into my Omni Pro II. First choice would be a wireless sensor compatible with my GE wireless receiver that is attached to my OPII so I would not need to run wire. I could deal with a wired solution if I had to but I...
