I would run a couple more cat5 to the sprinkler depending on how many zones (if you ever expand). As for the OmniPro II it is everything, an alarm panel too! So you don't need a third party unit. The CAV6.6 firmware is already out... be sure you have v2.9 or greater. Danny Shawn,

I am in the process of constructing my house and I want to know what wiring should I home run to my data closet from HAI Omni Pro II. This is what I have already ran. 2 cat6 andn 2 RG6 to each room in the house. Cat5 to each thermostat, cat5 to the sprinkler box, rg58/2 for 8 cctv locations, cat 5 for intercom, and ran all wiring for 3 Russound CAV6.6's, and some abus areas. I ran high quality all copper for Russound video out. What else do you recommend that I should run? Is the Omni Pro in itself also a alarm panel or does it control a third party alarm panel? I heard there is a firmware being released from HAI for CAV6.6 that will be very cool. Thanks Shawn Dang Hi I read your post about HAI being your favorite home automation controller.
