RE: SK8000 Home security system

Thanks - it was the arm / disarm bit that I was after. I was not that
bothered about the buzzer anyway, I would have annoyed the intruder with
the
WHA anyway. My neighbour is in his 80's so I would not want him
bothered
anyway.

I was writing one in Homeseer anyway using the Ocelot, but wondered if
this
was better - I liked the idea of the PIR's being used to switch the
lights
on and off when it was not armed. Could it do that?

Cheers

C

I have a TS7000 (now retired) which as far as I can tell is the same
beast
as the SK8000.
You would have to question its effectiveness as an alarm, I mean, if
someone
did break into your home all they would need to do would be to  find
the
thing that is making the noise and unplug it! Furthermore, when it does
go
off your neighbours probably wouldn't hear it and if they did wouldn't
take
much notice.
One of the other reasons I decided to get something better was the fact
that
it does not report arm/disarm events as X10 signals which is something
I
really wanted in my system so HomeSeer could easily be set into
home/away
modes.

On the plus side, it's relatively cheap for a wireless system, it has a
telephone transponder and can do some X10 stuff.

Justin.
