They hate the touchpanels because they are heavy and hard to dock. They wanted them because they had crestron at the other house and figured they would like the panels. So basically my question is if i take out the entire amx system and use the xp8 and t3-v, could i program this remote to show status in everyroom, vol, source, and then make a party button which turns on all zones and work the vol as one. it will be hooked up rs-232.
