Hello All,

I am considering purchasing a Nuvo Essentia EG6 system for my house (which is already wired for 5 zones). I am a bit of a techy guy, so after reviewing the install and wiring manual, I am confident I can wire up the system + keypads.

I have a question regarding the software...Is it required that I configure and program this system via the Nuvo software? Can't I just wire it up, and then it is good to go?

I ask this as the software is only available to authorized Nuvo installers, so I cannot get my hands on it. I really don't want to pay $500+ to have an installer do this.

Is the software needed to make this system work?

Thanks for your help!

Cheers!

You have to have the dealer install it for you.
They have the training + the knowhow.
I have a Grand Concerto and it works great.

The keypad control cables connect to a hub, which does not determine the Zones. Zone designation is achieved by selecting the Zone on the keypad when the system starts. The configuration needs to be loaded first to enable this to happen.
