Title: desperate... I don´t now what to do...
Post by: colombianita on November 23, 2006, 11:10:50 AM
Hello,
 I already buy 6 eagle eye motion sensor and six lamp modules to dimm the ligths of my apartment,before  make the shop I asked to a rep who told me that I just need to buy that two things, now I am reading the instructions and I realize that I additionally  need a transceiver for each sensor, what can I do? I am in another country and was very difficult and expensive for me to bring those devices to Colombia, Is there another way to install those devices without the transceiver or using another similar device?
I really appreciate the help or orientation you can give me, I have wrote to the company where  bougth but nobody answers me
 
Regards,
Amparo

Unfortunately you DO need a Transceiver to active a lamp module with a motion sensor.

But fortunately you don't need a separate transceiver for each motion sensor! ;)

WHO told you you need a transceiver for each sensor? ::)

Motion sensors use two addresses so even if you were to use a tm751 you would need only 1 ! ;)

Check out e-bay [/color] and see if someone close by has a transciever
I'm sure it will be cheeper! ;)

Since colombianita is in Columbia, what is the electic system there?   We need to know that before recommeding equipment to get, unless they have the same voltage/frequency as the US/Canada.

Thanks, Electric system here is the same as in US.

Thanks for the advice, That was exactly what I did!!!
