[Hai-users] Two areas for OmniPro II with lighting automation

[John Purnell]

I would try extending the X10 transmitter or the UPB transmitter out 
to the Barn, and try sending the powerline signals from controller to 
both the house and barn powerline interfaces. Its been a long time 
since I was hacking x10 so i don't remember the published ways to run 
dual interfaces, but I've always first tried the easy way in these 
cases and just parallel the two.

I've done this with wiegand card readers into access control panels, 
camera signals, etc... and have had lots of reliable success.
