Motion sensor with remote Alarm


Automation1tmai

Recommended Posts

Guys I have a motion sensor (outside) with a remote alarm (inside) which when triggered sends a wireless signal to the inside alarm. The alarm notify's by some LED lights and a tone thru the speaker. Does anyone know how I can use the signal from the speaker to tie into the control 4 system? Can I by chance wire the speaker into a contact closure?

 

Thanks!!!

If it's a clean 12v dc signal with a true non-voltage when not sending - yes. Chances of that are slim though.

 

As LEDs are generally 12v dc you may have more luck hacking one of those apart.

 

Most of these type of units have an option or optional piece to tie them into a normal security panel however, if so that same unit usually allows a connection to a C4 contact as well.

That said, by the time you've done all this, if range is sufficient you may be better off replacing with or adding an Axxess Motion Sensor instead, They are fully outdoor rated.
