Will the DS7000 support third party animal
immune motion sensors?
-
Not unlsee they can be registered with the
console. Now maybe if it can open a set of
contacts. Opens a set of contacts when
motion is detected. In theory it could be
wired to a Door/Window sensor to trigger the
system that way.

Why dosen't x10 come out if a pet immune
motion sensor seems like pratically all the
new systems have them.

OK, here is the deal I used to do technical
assistance for ADT and the pet immune
motion sensors do not work. Basically,
here is how the motion sensors work, they
detect heat therefore it will still pickup
the heat from the dog and set off the
alarm. They claim time and time again that
they work, but they don't work at all, X-10
is smart for themselves not coming out with
these because they would be getting calls
all of the time like ADT does because they
don't work!

Ok Chris well I don't know but my parents
have one and it's been 5 years and it's
nerver gone off. Well let me ask you this
one have you found that the 2 step on x10
motion detectors work? I have three and only
one works reliably the other you could
actually walk up to them and remove the
batteries from say 20 ft away, so I had to
switch them back to 1 and run the risk of
false alarms, like I got last week.
Thanks
