Hi,
I'm looking at my options in terms of Cortex and alarm integration.
I'm very keen to keep the systems separate with the alarm reporting it's status to Cortex. I've just purchased a top spec commercial Honeywell Galaxy alarm with GSM module and reading through the literature now.
One thing that strikes me is that both systems require the same sensors throughout the house - PIR and door contact. Obviously the alarm doesn't need quite as many sensors as Cortex but it seems logical to include them for use later should I need them.
Rather than fitting two sets of sensors for both systems - surely I'd be better off fitting a single set and then connecting them to both systems.
My questions are....
Firstly has anyone done this?
Secondly, is there anything different between an Idratek:
an Alarm:
and one typically used for lights:
I'd be interested to hear from those that have two in the same room and find they can 'appear' on one and not the other.
Cheers,
