I'm ready to upgrade from isy994 to eisy. In the process of a remodel so I have to relocate my udi box and plm, and have questions about placement of the Plm and z matter dongle.
Generally speaking both items operate on usb standards. As I understand, usb signals are limited to 16 feet of wire. Is this correct? Can I use a usb over ip extender for either of these or will it interfere with the signals?
Additionally, in terms of placement what are the realities of location of the z matter dongle ? Can these be placed in closets and function well or does it have to be out in the open?
Finally in terms of interference: I will likely have to add the wireless module to my elk panel...will this compete/interfere with the signals generated for zmatter and vice versa?
Thanks for your help.
