Re: Ademco 5828 Wireless Keypad

[JoeRaisin <joeraisin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have installed several of them with the 5883.

Be aware, it doesn't work as advertised.  I my own experience the
distance between the 5883 and the keypad has to be ridiculously short
and it helps if you can get line of sight between the two.

As you may infer I am no fan of those keypads.  Luckily for my sanity,
our salesmen have quit selling the damned things.
