Want to add smokes but was reading that smoke power is from a terminal on the NX8E that toggles on smoke reset so not sure how I would set up the remote smokes since I wouldn't have access to that terminal. What parts do I need for this?  I can figure out the basics of wire, door sensors, etc - I need to figure out what boards and keypads and power supplies I need.

You will need (should use) the following:
NX148E Keypad
NX216E Zone Expander
NX320E Power Supply
You will also need the knowledge base to program all.
You will also need the above boards to install.
Which as you noted will be difficult.
Calling a local installer would help as well.

Good Luck!!
