Need Recommendation: Ceiling Mounted 360 Motion + Glass Break Sensor (4-wire)

If all 360 motion + glass sensors require 6 wires (I only pulled 4) then please recommend just a ceiling-mounted 360 motion sensor (no glass break).  It will be attached to my Elk M1 Gold along with many Bosch Blue Line Gen 2 wall sensors.  I checked Bosch's ceiling mounted motion sensors but they look butt ugly and I need something the wife will like...
 
Thanks!
 
You need to understand how to run powered detectors with a common negative. Of course, you'll need a zone for each detector (best practice for a powered unit anyhow) but if you wire the unit as a 3 wire device, put the EOLR in the device and then use the other conductor for the other detector, it's pretty straightforward.Just sharing power.
 
Since I'm too lazy to look, I think the only guys that have a combo detector would be DSC....and I've never been a fan of their equipment truly. Usually where a PIR gets mounted vs. a GBD, it's a compromise on detection and proper coverage.

Can't say for your application.
