Original board purchased for $364.95 was defective. Seller sent a second board and that was the wrong HAI board. I received a credit on 08-28-2013 for the amount of $364.95. Pending now return shipping cost of $19.06.

Found a new HAI OPII board (HAI dealer stock). Rob Mason purchased this board out of pocket for $1079 including free shipping. Thank you Rob!
This board is being shipped to me such that I can check it out and update the firmware if need be.
OPII purchase includes:
- HAI OPII Pro board - HAI20A00-2
- HAI Enclosure
- RJ-31x
- transformer
Totals monies in:
- rmasonjr - $1204.00
- pete - $125.00
- cosws4eating - $121.07 (I see an "issue refund" button in paypay?) - balance due $3.93?
- jgary - $125.00
===========================================
Total = = > $1575.07
HAI OPII Pro purchase = $1079.00
===========================================
Current Balance = $496.07
Additional items required and cost estimate:
- HAI-1105W - HAI PC Access Dealer software
- HAI Omni Console
- HAI Console flush mount kit
- HAI Snap-Link Software
- HAI Omnitouch Pro Software (* maybe not?)
- Elk 12Ah battery
- HAI 10A09 X10 PIM - TW523 - (I may have a spare and will make up a cable to test it).
- RS-232 cable for PC Access (will make up a cable)
Guesstimate total from above ~ $400.00
I will order these parts in the next day or so.
Plugin status - testing on HS3 - working on DB schema - next steps will be done on wintel environment; then Linux.
Once running on Linux it will be provided to said users on list above such that they can test.
A side note:
Rob was using my HAI OPII in Florida via the WAN. That said I lost my WLAN AP radio on the Cumulus server connection. The DD-WRT radio just quite. This was around July 2, 2013. Lost all weather information uploaded to the internet because I had decided to use wireless for a laptop/server. I could still get to the DD-WRT box nested inside of another network with the FIOS box; IE: I bridged the connection on one NIC port on the FIOS box. Access to the LAN / HAI OPII was fine until just recently.
Decided to purchase a new combo AP; same model to replace the one down there. I updated the firmware to DD-WRT here and downloaded the configuration from the box in Florida to the new box. I then shipped the new box down to Florida; thinking it was going to be a plug n play installation. It was not. The rules set are based on static IP configurations and no mac addresses are being used. The dynamic DNS configuration is still working because I can ping the box. I am thinking I missed something after uploading the configuration to the new box?
The new box is in place but none of my firewall rules are working; therefore today I do not have access to the HAI panel (that Rob was using), DD-WRT router, weather station, Desktop remote.
That said I am setting up access here in the midwest for just the HAI OPII panel such that Rob can look at my setup while testing the new plugin; such that the new panel going to Rob's house comes at an opportune time.
