It's an Aegis 2000, so I'd need a ~$1000 OmniPro-II board in order to get proper UPB support on the controller and retain support for the keypads. If I had AC wiring to the keypads I could replace them with UPB keypads and just not bother interfacing the lighting to the old Aegis, but I don't think there are any UPB keypads that would work over a Cat5 line.<br>

depends on the age. If it is 2000 then you will want to upgrade. If it is a 3000, you can just get an current Pro II chip and PCAccess. The KLP-7 is still supported in the current firmware.</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:green"><u></u><u></u></span></p>

also has two other remote switches that communicate via low voltage cables. Is there any way to replace the switches without fishing 120 volt cables between the switches?

I have an Omni Pro II controller that also handles UPB switches and I would be open to using UPB switches. Or, what other options do I have?<u></u><u></u></p>
