Automation1tmai Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 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!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 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.

Automation1tmai Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 By the way. Can you tell me where i can buy the Axxess motion and how much they are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Automation1tmai Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 CYknight, I wanted to ask what is the minimum voltage in for a contact closure? The receiver is running on 4 C cell batteries so six volts. Does the contact closure require 12V? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Axxess - any Control4 dealer.Not sure what the minimum voltage would be to be honest. I would expect it either needs a true 12v or at least 9v, but can't say for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
