There's a good chance that you can stretch the range to cover the house using the new MRF-300 base station and the MX-3000. We designed the base station to power up to three hard wired RF receiver (RFX-150) locations. Conservatively, you should get robust RF performance from about 75 feet away from each RFX-150. Thus, by spreading the RF antenna locations around the house, you'll easily get the 200 foot range you need.

The secret to success is finding a way to get three conductors (can be 3 out of a partially used CAT5) to each RF receiver location. That supplies power, ground and data to each RFX-150 Receiver. If you can only find two conductors, and you can still supply 9V power to the receiver you could still make it work.

The system was designed to directly connect to any of the Elan systems. It can work with Russound, but you must wire to each Keypad location from a locally placed base station, so you would find it quite a bit more expensive to install.
