• Andersen "PowerAssist" / OMNIPRO II

    From donna.denyer@gmail.com@21:1/5 to All on Thu Sep 3 11:56:52 2015
    Looking to have an OMNIPRO II control Andersen awning windows via their "new" PowerAssist electric operator.

    Andersen's documentation on this is less than complete and, after a lot of aggravation, I was able to learm that their "engineer" tested this "automation" with a PC and a USB to RS-485 converter. He "believes" that a serial to RS-485 converter will
    allow the OP II to talk to the windows. I'm not sure I want to bet $10,000+ on his "belief."

    I'm not looking for a DIY installation. Has anyone actually gotten *any* OMNI controller to "talk to" Andersen windows with PowerAssist?

    Thanks
    Donna

    P. S. I know others have connected earlier Andersen electric windows -- I have too. This question is specifically about their *current* (2013+) electric window offering.
