Hello. I've reached my max 16 wireless zones with my 6150RF. I have a 20P control. What is the best way to add additional wireless zones? Is there a way I can do this without running wires from my control to second 6150RF?

An additional 6150RF will not give you more wireless zones, the Vista 20p does not support multiple wireless receivers. The limitation is that the 6150rf is equal to a 5881M receiver, and thus only supports 16 wireless zones.

You need to upgrade to a 6160RF or install a 5881H and disable the receiver function of the 6150RF.

If you don't have a 6160 keypad to program zones, the keypad upgrade is the better option.
