s with the programming for the smokes?

RHC: No, just decide if you need a delay versus instant transmission to the=
 station

RHC: Both can be in slot 8 and will only show as global in software

RHC: Yes, I have installed about 50 of them for both monitoring purposes as=
 well as to give clients the smart phone features they wish. It's a superb =
unit. You will have to pay an unlock fee in order to change the address IP =
from their monitoring station to yours if you wish to use it for monitoring=
 as well. Or you can use their monitoring services for about $9 a month. Th=
ese folks at EyesOn are great to deal with and this is a superb product (oo=
ps said that already...)
There is a fair learning curve with this equipment, but this is to be expec=
ted.
