i talked to essex electronics in california this morning.
the system that i have allows for an additional wireless receiver to be added to it. it comes with 2 key fobs with 4 buttons each on them.
it can be wired such that the key fob will lock and unlock the door, do the same for the bay doors. in addition, with some thinking and an additional relay, there is enough capability to actually use it to open the door as well. can set it up so when you hit the key fob lock button it locks the door and the bay doors all the same time. the unlock you can separate so it only unlocks the door and a separate button unlocks the bay doors.
to open the air door, you would have to have a time delay relay to make sure the door had unlocked first.
now i just have to decide if i want to spend ~150 bucks and a bit of time to do it.
by the way, the part number is RB-1704-RV for the kit to tie into the existing system to do this. remember, my existing system is a 1602.
