I need wireless alarm system to control door/window status

Hello,

and for sure, comunicate with vera3 … all because the price of zwave sensors…the house has many Windows then the wireless sensors to integrate to an alarm system is more cheap than zwave sensors.

I have searched this item below, but I don’t know if it is ok to vera3.

I am accepting any helps and tips !!! thanks !!!

When you searched, you would have found several posts about the GE Simon XT. All of them say pretty much the same thing: avoid. Even if you do manage to get it connected, most other people here use something different, so you won’t get much support from the forum.

ok !
some DSC bundle to indicate ?

Piwtorak,
I just bought a package from HomeSecurityStore earlier today. To tie into Vera the requirement is a system with the 1832 controller board and the EVL-3 addon board to connect to Vera via your home network (Cat5 to home router). Then there are three tracks you can follow:

  1. If you are going to install all wired devices, you can get by with the minimum of what I mentioned above and go from there.

  2. If you want wireless sensors but can get buy with a wired siren and keypad (This is what I did), go with something like this starter kit or any that includes a RFK5500 or RFK5501 keypad: [url=http://www.homesecuritystore.com/p-1734-ultimate-power5-kit32-power5-dsc-power-1832-ultimate-security-bundle.aspx]http://www.homesecuritystore.com/p-1734-ultimate-power5-kit32-power5-dsc-power-1832-ultimate-security-bundle.aspx[/url]

  3. If you want to have wireless keypads as well as wireless sensors, then you need to add a TR5164 to add wireless for those keypads.

Hopefully this is somewhat clear. The people at HomeSecurityStore also seem very knowledgeable about all of this so feel free to call them up as well. Follow this link to get started: Home Security Store | The Best Home Security Systems

Thanks mcoulter !

My needs are have many wireless sensors in windows, doors and rooms to send information to alarm central and after to vera to disparate scenes, turn on lights and warning me about windows forget opened becAuse the rains (I’m in amazon).

I will buy the bundle equals yours.

Might check … I am not sure if you can mix the RFK keypads with the TR5164.

The RFK has the interface for Wireless device inside the keypad.
But it is hardwired to the 18XX device.

I think there is a limit of 1 device that can interface to Wireless devices for the 18XX systems.

You can have multiple wireless keypads hooked up to the TR5164 … but then you can only have 1 partition.

hello !
here I am again, with the model indicated for guy of homesecuritystore.com

please, someone verify if with this system can I have communication with my vera3 .

thanks in advance…

Sorry it cannot be integrated with your Vera. The best option or alternative it the 1864 with the tr5164 and a w5500 keypad. There is a thread on the DSC and the modules in this forum.

The only thing I see lacking in this solution:

  1. The Wireless Siren options from the Alexor
  2. Multiple Partition Support from the 1864

The only way to have multiple receivers is using the PC5320 combined with PC/RF5132.

the guy from homesecurity.com wrote for me the list below:

List of items included
(1) PC9155 Alexor 2-Way Wireless Panel
(1) WT5500 Wireless LCD Keypad
(1) WS4904P Wireless Pet Immune Motion Detector
(1) WS4939 Wireless Keyfob
(1) WT4901 DSC Alexor 2-Way Wireless Indoor Siren
(3) EV-DW4975 - Vanishing Wireless Door Window Sensor
(1) PTD1620U-CC Class 4 High Efficiency Transformer
(1) Telephone Jack and Cord
(1) Backup Battery

what can be changed or added to have a system really compatible with vera 3…

sorry by the answer, but are many pieces listed and here in the f?rum I do not find a link directly to a kit what can be used without problems and I am so far, after buy the product I must have a good product or my Money is lost. I’m in Amazon.

thanks !

The PC9155… It is not able to be integrated. The Alexor was and is designed as a standalone wireless alarm with inbuilt communication.

As indicated, replace the PC9155 (the equal is the 1832) with the 1862 but you can achieve the similar design aspects with the 1832, 1864 and the TR5164 two way wireless receiver. The modules be retained at the panel in or attached to the can. I.e the siren can be screwed directly to the tin box (can) that holds the panel.

In addition, utilising the TR5164, it provides similar functionality of the wireless capability of the Alexor. Expect you have more zones with the 1864 available which you haven’t indicated how many really need.

The add-ons are the same expect the panel which is not self contained and modularised.

Add the EVL3 to integrate with your Vera and this provides redundant communications and reporting to their site and your phone. Because of your location the embedded panel function would be used to report to central monitoring.

The point I see was never clarified was wireless… Are you able to wire the keypad to the panel? The reason I asks is the premise of the previous comments were biased on trying to achieve a fully wireless system.

If you can wire the keypad, there other other options which maybe cheaper being no need for the TR5164 and 5500 keypad and they are replaced by the rfk55xx keypads which provide wireless capability to the windows/door modules.

It might be worth having a read of the product and module spec mentioned on DSC.com just to make certain you understand and the advice given will achieve your desired design requirements.

I can have a wired keypad yes !

and I can plug the alarm central to a router to have access to my LAN and internet and to my vera3.

my door and window sensors and presence sensor only must be wireless.

I hope now I have a list to buy, thanks for help and attention.

cheers

I not sure where you are located but you may need to either have a converter or buy a separate power supply; however, the basic I would look for are contained in this kit. Also, as I am not in the US there would be numerous places to purchase this kit and the one you have been dealing would be a good start. Note; the wireless receiver is contained in the keypad.
