Title: VCR commander and house codes
Post by: Richardd on March 24, 2007, 05:02:56 PM

Can one VCR commander (ux23A) be programmed for 2 different house codes?
I have one motion sensor and one camera on house code A unit code 1 to trigger the VCR, this works great.  Eventually, this will be expanded with 3 more cameras to a max of 4 on house code A once the snow melts.

I now want to use 3 motion sensors to trigger 3 ws467's that are on house code C unit codes 5,6,7. I would like to add one camera to the motion sensor triggering one ws467 on house code C unit code 7.
I can't seem to get the VCR commander to recognize the house code A and house code C.  I can't find anything to tell me that the VCR commander will only work with one house code, the instructions say" program each motion sensor to the desired house/unit code."  I"ve tried to program the two house codes A and C, but it's not working.
Does anyone know if the VCR commander can be programed for 2 house codes?
Thanks for your help.

I couldn't get mine to work on more than one house code. Maybe multiple commanders? They had a 2 for or 3 for sale recently.

The VCR commander II can be programmed for up to 4 different motion sensors. The following link contains the instructions. I believe this is only available in the VCR Commander II.

You could also accomplish what you want using the CM15A and AHP.

Thanks for the replies.
I agree, I don't think the VCR Commander II can be set up to receive more than one house code.  I just might have to break down and go over to the cm15A and the AHP.

Be careful.

Be very careful!

rms59 received delivery of his AHP/CM15A on 04/06/07 and we haven't heard from him in TWO DAYS now...
