Re: Suggest for placement of ADT/Ademco wireless window sensors

["Crash Gordon" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

New construction? Why the heck didn't you have the house wired?

They're gonna stick the 5816's wherever they will fit.

Here's how we do it on tough houses like that...and we charge more for it.

We cut a single gang hole in the wall underneath the the window at outlet
height where we will put the transmitter, then we drill down through the
window sill and run the contact down to the transmitter, the blank plate it.
Time consuming but looks great.

Has ADT actually looked at those windows yet?
