Title: Can I use this Motion Sensor?
Post by: BENCHMARKMAN on January 22, 2009, 09:07:09 PM

Can I use the MS13A motion sensor with power house security alarm?  If so any drawbacks compared to the motion sensors that come with the kit?

The MS13A won't work with the security system.

However, you can get 7 of the MS10A motion detector modules for $49.99 plus free shipping on eBay.

If you get X10 newsletters, they usually have 5 for the price of 1 deals on the MS10A ($49.99)

Last week, they had a special on 1 DS10A (door/window sensor) and 1 MS10A for $9.99

Hi you got a link for that 7 for 49 deal, x10 ran that same thing a few times a while back I can't find it now though. Thanks!

BENCHMARKMAN Yes but....
The  MS13A motion sensor  will work with the power house security alarm console it just will not trigger the alarm!
It will turn on any device that is setup on the ds7000s housecode.
