I'm undecided which to buy.
I either need 2 off TM13U-AH plugin transceivers, or one of the W800 receivers and a CM11 (?) module.
My old TM13 has packed up after about 4 or 5 years service. It was only controlling one code from 3/4 outdoor motion sensors. However, the range wasn't great and I had to position one of the sensors closer to the house than I would have liked. (further in the driveway, rather than at the gate pillars).
I had thought of buying 2 off TM13U-AH units, and putting one at each end of the house to cover both indoor remote/sensor use and the outdoor sensors. - There is a danger that both TM13's might pickup some signals, so would that cause a problem ?
I'm tempted by the W800, but the price is putting me off.
Would one W800, located in my attic space (or possibly with an outdoor antenna) do a good job ? Can I put 2 antennae on it .. one indoor in the attic to cover the house interior and one outdoor one as well ?
My whole house is around 2800 sq ft, with the distance to the gates being around 100 ft or so.
I would envisage using a dedicated PC at some point in the future to do some scheduling & other nice stuff, and can put one in place now if necessary.
Alternatively, is there an easy way to improve the range of a tm13u-ah by adding a more suitable antenna ?
Any advice welcome.
Cheers,
Declan
