I have a single source abus hub with the amplified keypads (a-kp2). My question is I would like to be able to control one of the keypads from an additional keypad in another room without having to extend ir. I know that russound has the dan and dsc keypads but will they integrate with the abus amplified a-kp2s? Thanks in advance!

No, the DAN and DSC keypads will not work with ABus.
Not sure what it is you're trying to do. Why operate a keypad from outside of the location? Wanting to extend the zone?
If so, what you probably will want is to upgrade to the A-H484 (with an additional A-PS), and add a A-KP2 as a sub-zone.

O.K. heres my deal. I have 3 keypads, one is going in the kitchen with two speakers, one in the guest bed with one of the two speakers in the workout room, and the third is going in the hall bathroom but Im also putting one of the two speakers in the master bath. I want to be able to control the keypad from the master bathroom independantly without having to go to the other bathroom to control it. I know that niles has a keypad that you can learn the buttons to do whatever you learn them as but I dont know what it has to have for power. Youre probably saying just pull the additional wiring that you need in order to make it work but I did all of my wiring while I was in the preconstruction stages and no longer have that luxury. So basically, Im trying to have audio in two rooms with one volume control. Is there something out there that I can use to control an external keypad. I have 3 cat5's and 3 16/4's that are pulled to my head end. Im using all 3 cat5's but can use the 16/4's for whatever. The two bathrooms are backed up to each other so there is adequate access for the volume controls. Thanks for any info!!!

... I don't mean to be a jerk, but this design is horrible ... If you designed this layout, you need to take a step back and look at future designs ... Better planning will help you avoid problems like this in the future ...
