We have a guest house attached to main house, will intercom system reach both houses?

The previous response is correct. As long as both houses are on the same electrical circuit source you should have no problem.

hi. yes it can. but it's dependent on the software being used. such as houselinc. you should be able to link it directly to another insteon device as u suggest in your question but I have not tried that

Sort of. You could setup a shared line appearance and they'd both ring at the same time. A lot of this depends on which VOIP system you're using, as this would be a feature of the system.

I have the main phone/answering machine. I have an additional handset in each of two different rooms. T paired them to the main unit (phone/answering machine) using the menu on the main system. My issue with the answering machine is that the message waiting beeps are very low for hearing impaired users.

As they said these are power-line intercoms, It should go far as the power-line in the house goes. But the wiring at the house needs to be all grounded. Even if one outlet is not grounded, you will have to do the setup steps base on their user's manual. This is what happened to me. So far I am happy with it. This sellers has a lot of useful information on their page. Make sure that you read them or check with the manufacturer (seller) directly. The made this intercoms, they should know better

The room unit will talk to any other room unit that's not on mute. However, you will need the master unit in order for all units to communicate.

No. We have it hooked to our main line coming in to the business. But we are still happy with it. Maybe it's possible to use a splitter. I don't know. We don't use our second line but for fax or rair occasion of overflow of calls

There is a wire that attaches the two intercoms and the main one plugs into an outlet. Its like a baby monitor in that you can always hear what's going on on the secondary one, but you have a button you can push from the main intercom to speak to the secondary one. I use it with my kids because I can hear them and talk to them whenever necessary.

Yes, there is a function on the phones for intercom between hand sets, they both have to be in the intercom position and the base would have to be on but doesn't have to have the phone line connected.

I live in a basement apartment and my intercom works great. We have a rather long hall connecting the kitchen to the living room (that's where we placed ours) and the reception is great. Hope this helps.

no. I could never get the third and fourth intercom to work in the room fartherest away. all the intercoms would work reach the middle room and the middle room could reach them as well but the third and fouth intercom would never reach the first room nor would the first room reach them. So, if we are not in the middle room we could forget reaching everybody.

No, one of them is used as the base the main intercom. Directions explain how to program them

Yes, the wire is required for communication between the two stations. There are wireless models that may work for your situation. I used a wired model to save $$ and my setup was simple, between 2 rooms.

Yes, if you have 2 units, you pair them with each other and just talk to each other that way. That's primarily how we use them.

Not with this model. There are others that do have that feature, but I believe they would all require you to switch between the two rooms manually, instead of giving you both feeds simultaneously.

Sounds like you will have conflict of two signals on the same bands. I have seen houses with two dish or antennas, but I suppose there is a switch in thier line or receivers.

Is this a 2 way com ? or do i need another unit or a differant type unit to comunicate 2 directions?
