Have an existing system that I need to expand to a detached garage. Totall y confused on what I need to add. My plan is to run a single cable between buildings - distance is 250 feet. Have power in the garage. Planned to p ut an expansion board in the garage with keypad on it's on partition. Want to add smokes but was reading that smoke power is from a terminal on the N X8E that toggles on smoke reset so not sure how I would set up the remote s mokes since I wouldn't have access to that terminal. What parts do I need f or this? I can figure out the basics of wire, door sensors, etc - I need t o figure out what boards and keypads and power supplies I need.
Also know they are stopping production soon. I could switch to some other system but everything is working ok. Everything is hardwired with no wirel ess sensors. Perhaps I should switch to a different system?
