When I'm installing a wireless system and theres a chance that I may
want to add hardwired zones in the future, I'll usually start the
wireless zones somewere at a number above the number of hard wired
zones the system is presently capable of. In your case, zone 21.
However, you have to also allow for the addition of wireless zones too.
You didn't mention how many wireless devices your have. If you have 11
or more, obviously you'll have to forgo the use of some of the hardwire
EZM zones. But generally ....... you should probably leave room for the
addition of a few hardwired zones and a few wireless. This way you find
it less likely that you'll have to go in at a later date and relocate
ALL your wireless zones.
