Yah, I have another product line that will do this too. However, I didn't
sell this system or even install it (some sound guy did - have I mentioned
that he has very little idea of what he's doing?)

This house really needed at *least* 16 zones and I had only 8 to work with
so all the interior doors (10) end up on one zone...

Some people should just NOT sell alarm systems.
