I have a Optex LX-402. I bought it base on previous discussion on this forum. I guess I'll mount it to cover exclusively the porch and I'll buy others to cover the driver and other sides on the house.

It'll be used for automation. I'll make sure it's not pointed to infinity... Thanks for the guidance

Sorry about that, how about now?

For sure I was planning to do that.. Here's some pictures of my test install. Nothing is fully installed I'm simply testing the components. I have the IR set on the door frame (One set on these pictures) Then I have the IR controller box beside the panel. I've used 4/22 wires to extend the...

Found it after further research on the forums. I had to set the zones for fast response Now instant light on or off .. Optex OS-12C works as expected. Now I need to set a second set of IR on the door frame and program some sort of people counter logic to know when to turn on or off the light...

I'll be starting up my radiant "Hydronic" floor heating shortly (2" concrete with water pipes in it) and the vendor supplied my with Aube TH135-01-B with is pretty much the same as the TH140 you are looking at without the programming part. When I asked my vendor about the programming part he...

Thanks for all the feedback. I was mainly checking if this was ok to run the second leg from the M1 to a DBH that would be installed in the garage. Then install a M1XIN on the DBH as well as the keypad and UltraProx Reader. I'm planning for Motion, glass break, fire, 2 IR sensor and hand...

Quick question. I'm planning for the alarm in my garage and I have a simple question. I have a M1 Gold system and in order to protect / monitor my garage with the same system what would be the ideal way. The garage is about 150 feet from the alarm panel. I have a 4 inches conduit from the...

Just learned that when we close/move a store we abandon these behind.. Will try to get some reference as of when they close / move stores and will see if I can get in to take the devices.. Got an old one from a store that closed so will hopefully start some testing shortly. First Answer ...

I'll be buying 2 units for testing purpose. These units are not cheap but I prefer to work with off the shelf parts. We use these in our stores (over 1000 stores in north America) as traffic counter. they are connected to an interface that provide stats to our systems. - As for your...
