schoondoggy Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Looks like an interesting Kickstarter: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImTheTypeOfGuy Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 That looks very good. I thought it would be much more than I am willing to pay due to having 25 zones. I was shocked how affordable it is. I have two years on my Vivint contract so I need to decide if I buy in now or wait until Vivint expires.

Ikon-TNG Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 That looks really interesting. Too bad Dad didn't get a chance to wire up all the security gear I've had sitting in a canvas shopping bag for something like 6 years. I may try to give it a go, but it looks complicated. Dad had a brother in law who was in the business, but he died, so I'm on my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 I had this idea several years ago and never ran with it. I tested out a few sensors in my house to see if I could get action off of them and tie them into a zigbee or zwave sensor. That was back when zwave charged $3000 for the dev kit so I never pursued it. I was able to trigger states with everything in the home except the glass breaks. I was having power issues with them. I'll read deeper on this project to see how they are doing it. I may jump on a small board just to check it out. I wish I would have purchased it on the early bird!

Dave Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Thinking about this more...it would be nice to see status on glass breaks and other sensors while away or travelling. The only problem is once you do the board you have to go all in. We use our alarm system at night but it's not monitored. I'm still thinking on this one.

Dave Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Great to see you in here Nate. I think we are all pulling for your success. I have a few questions. After the Kickstarter, how can we order the product? We are catching this so close to the end but I am betting that many more will be interested in it. How do you power the glass breaks and motion sensors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you power the glass breaks and motion sensors? Use an Altronix power supply/charger. Size you would need would depend on current draw of all your devices. Something like this https://www.amazon.com/Altronix-SMP5PMCTX-Supervised-Supply-Charger/dp/B00EZSQS5O/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1513116016&sr=8-10&keywords=altronix+12vdc+power+supply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
