Hello, I am new to the sight and have a few questions.

....I personally think all those door and window sensors can be exchanged for one, well placed, motion detector.

The bad thing about all alarms... are they only alert you after a break-in. A sensor at the door/window... may scare away an intruder at the point of entry. A sensor inside the home means the intruder must actually intrude. I believe we should start intrusion prevention OUTSIDE the home.

I have an old threat about that:  http://forums.x10.com/index.php?topic=13351.msg74400#msg74400

Ok I finally got my stuff in.  I have a question about the W/D sensor.  The way my old house is does not seem to allow me to mount the sensors straight arrow to arrow.  can I have them in a different configuration?  Thanks for your help.

I faced a similar situation. I just piled a couple/few of the sticky pads together to get the even depth. Plus those sensors can be slightly apart.

I used a dollar store white vinyl cutting board and a bit of (by-the-foot, cut what you need) white vinyl trim from a Home Depot.. to make spacers.

I figured out how to mount the paower house unit on the actual window.
