I've got several ds10a sensors left over from a security system installation and there are all sorts of things I'd like to do with them but didn't know how to do it without the security console. None of the projects I have in mind have anything to do with security so I figured it wasn't possible until I ran across a few threads on here about imaginative ways to use them that evidently didn't involve the security console. Great!
Then I ran across this from a post in October 2004:
"Edit: Please note that these sensors can only be used with the W800Rf32 receiver or one of the x10 all-in-one security panels. You cannot receive the signals using any other computer interface (at the time of this post... that I am aware of)"
Couple of questions:
1. Is this still applicable? I'm using a Powerlinc USB controller and v572a transceiver - will this work or do I specifically need a w800rf32?
2. What kind of signal does the ds10a send that is received by the w800? Is it an x10 signal on a house/unit code (don't think so)?
Thanks again for all your help!
