Can anyone suggest a solution for the
following.
I have an ANCIENT wired alarm, key based,
mounted
the furthest possible distance from the front door.
At some stage -when I can afford it -
I'll put
comfort in. Currently the price is stopping me..
Last time I was in cornwall, I
paid a visit to Trago Mills and they had hundreds of boxes of Protech
wireless alarms, that consisted of the control box, an x10
lamp
module, keyfob, wireless contact switch and wireless pir and wireless x10
remote
- absolute bargain at £58. (more contact sets were £6, Keyfobs
£5 and
PIRs £10)
So I've put this in place, as an interim
measure as my home alarm.
Now my problem is how to interface the control
box
to a wired bell box that is already there. When the alarm
triggers it sends the all units on, all units off command over
the
mains, and I want a cheap (less than £40) solution to trip the external
sounder. The control box is an HomeTech HTS100.
Can anyone think of a quick method of
accomplishing
this? I have access to a power socket on the wall behind the wall
with the
external sounder on so some x10 solution would be great.. I also have
spare appliance modules.
Any ideas folks?
