The Belfast meeting looked good, any plans for
a
meeting in the UK any where near East Anglia?
Darren 'Megapixel' was interested in
signalling
PIRs to his HV, I am doing this using a Karizma UDL control panel from ADE,
www.ade.co.uk.
I have used the ADE equipment for many years,
the
UDL offers some very nice features.
Up to 30 zones using 4 core alarm cable wired
in
any configuration of star, radial or spur, each detection device is
multiplexed
onto the data line using an ID unit which is the size of a transistor and
mounted inside the detector. The control panel can control up to 30 outputs
using a POD driver unit, these can be connected directly to Home Vision and
can
be configured to be active when the alarm is activated, set, ID follow or
many
others.
I am using my set-up to signal to HV when
motion is
detected in certain rooms, HV will dim down the lights after a period of
inactivity then bring them back up when I walk through. Also when I set the
alarm at night HV will check the curtains and close them if open, turn off
the
lights then slowly dim the hall light as I retire to bed.
I had HV opening the curtains in the morning
which
was great until the alarm was set off by the movement, this is now changed
so
that the curtains open if it is after 7.00 and when the alarm is
unset.
The great thing about the Karizma system is
you can
just add extra zones without wiring back to the panel.
