Ask specific questions and you’ll probably get answers. The ID-O-Matic has been discussed a few times, including how to program it and wire it to a repeater. 
The more information you provide the better quality answers you’ll receive, but don’t hesitate to ask questions about things you don’t know.

Why?  Just announce your call sign when using the repeater and make sure every one else does as well.   No id o Matic needed.  Then but the saved money into a better repeater.

That only works if @WROH500 uses the repeater every time anyone else uses it.
Besides, it’s not just an IDer; it’s also a repeater controller, which @WROH500 might need if they’re wiring two Baofeng radios together.

I used the ID O Matic on a home brew repeater with two Maxon radios.  CWID or Voice works great, programing not difficult and building the board was fun..   I say just try your plan but i warn you, there is no known medicine or Vax out there to cure the virus you are about ready to catch.   Have fun

If anyone other than a family member operating under the repeater owners license the repeater must self ID using the repeater’s owners call sign.
