I'm considering two systems, one for downstairs and one for upstairs. Both levels have ground access. Are sensors interchangable/programable to swap?

The sensors/alarms/PIR's that come with the system are pre-programmed...you can add additional sensors, PIR's, smoke alarms, CO detector, water level sensors to the system (pretty simple process). i purchased two systems (cheaper to buy a smaller system along with my primary system to get the additional items rather than ordering individual) and programmed all the items on one controller (i also have two story with basement). I put an extra siren and multiple sensors and PIR's onto the system with no issues (even on my detached garage about 50 feet away from my house).

You would need to unplug it do de-activate it. The settings remain in the system. I unplug mine when the lawn service is here or if I'm out in the yard working. However, my earlier review would change to a degree. I've bought 4 of the sensors and two of them did not work right or either the base has bad circuits. False alarms, no alarm, etc. Two work really well, the other two have not been satisfactory. It's a pretty good basic system, no sophistication at all. Minimally does the job.

no there are no adjustments available besides the 2 tone leves. we have the sensor zip tied to a stake and its aimed at te house. im sure its hackable/

I don't see why not. I would put them on different time delays for a power failure so they both wouldn't try to call you at the same time. I assume you want two units for temperature monitoring.

Yes. I have 2 in my house, 1 for downstairs and 1 for upstairs. Both are controlled independently by my ADT Pulse system.

Yes, I bought two units..one for the main floor and one for the 2nd floor of my house. You program the new bell the same way with the bell buttons. I am considering buying a third set for the basement also. Al

Yes. I could be wrong but I believe you can actually hook up 16 sensors to the same unit. There are 4 channels so you can definitely at least hook up 4. But it's my understanding that you can actually do 4 sensors per channel, although I haven't tried it yet. It's an awesome system!! I love it. I currently have 4 sensors and just ordered 3 more so I'm gonna find out soon if it can handle more than 4.

Yes you can do that no problems. I would recommend that you login to one set and change the frequency that they operate on so that the two different sets doesn't interfere with each other. You would connect a ethernet cable between the two power over the ethernet injector on the top of the hill to connect the two systems and pass the data along to the second system.

Yes it has to contact the two metal sensors, so what you do is have the sensors almost touching the ground .

We have two Homedics here but only use one sensor to operate the two, suggest either buying another complete unit or checking with manufacturer for just another sensor

YOU CAN. There is a cheaper way, just by an additional sensor and hook it up to the same HS-700. I have four sensors hooked up to mine.

you would have to ask Homedics about that. frankly, I could not get the outdoor sensor provided with my unit to work at all. I finally had to return it for credit.

I use one sensor and it alerts me in 2 locations on my property, Bugs running across it can set it off. Needs some light to make it work too.

Can I use two of these wireless routers in my home. One for upstairs and one downstairs for better performance?

In my house there are a few walls between the sensor and the receiver and it works fine. I don't know about your situation but I would give it a go.

Yes I have been trying to use 2 of these, one for the Ref/Freezer in the kitchen and an another unit's single sensor in a freezer in the garage. Unfortunately they try to talk to each other and get messed up with which sensor to read and display. For example, I get the same reading for the freezer outside in the garage as I do inside the house, but I know they should be different readings. I also tried using one sensor in the garage freezer and another to read the ambient temperature outside, but still had the same kind of problems. Both would show the fridge temperature instead of separate readings for in the house and outside. I've been looking for alternatives (wireless) but have had no luck yet. The manufacture needs to add a switch to change the transmit frequency used for unit one and unit two.

Yes. I don't know of a way to hook up more than one sensor. Works well though.
