    Burglars & other fiends ...

    wondered if anyone had tried protecting individual items with tamper (if that's the right word) switches ...

    eg: valuable item on the wall, if it's moved a switch trips (reed-switch, say), and signals to Cortex that something's up, and it fuses the signal with others to deduce what's going on ... sounds simple, but wondered if anyone had tried such a thing & found it works OK / not OK ??

    and, if the item was, say, a clock, we might even have a button on the wall nearby which we push everytime it's been wound, so Cortex can remind us (intelligently) when next time is due ... and maybe this button could be used (three pushes, say) to allow the clock to be moved without tripping an alert ?

    Visonic actually do a special sensor called an Art Protection Detector http://www.visonic.com/VisonicHomePa...A?OpenDocument .
    So it is possible.
    IF YOU CAN'T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER, YOU'VE GOT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.
