Re: Dammit.. How to get 2 zones and power from a 4-conductor



What panel are you using ?,  on most panels the zone common and the power
negative are the same so you can use the power -ve at the motion for the
zone common.

Alternatively if the panel supports DEOL  then use DEOL and have the tamper
circuit open the zone completely,
