I'm planning to put in an HAI OmniPro II which will use mostly wired sensors for the main house but will have to use wireless sensors and a receiver to cover the doors and windows of a standalone cottage that sits approx. 15' behind the rear wall of the main house.

Looking at the AO store, I see that HAI offers both their own wireless receiver (45A001) and sensors but also another wireless receiver (42A00-1) that it says is compatible with "319.5 MHz GE Security (a.k.a. ITI or Interlogix) and Caddx (crystal or SAW) Learn ModeTM 63-bit wireless transmitter".

I have seen positive comments posted about the GE wireless sensors* but I haven't found a comparison between these two options for those who go HAI. If I am going with the HAI OP2, is the HAI Wireless receiver + sensors option better/worse than getting the other (GE compatible) HAI receiver and Crystal or SAW sensors? Does anyone have any real-world experiences that you can share and give me an idea of the pros and cons?

* I forget at this moment whether ppl prefer crystal over SAW or vice versa, but I'm pretty sure there's a preference here that I can look up :o
 
I have used them both and in my own house am using the HAI sensors. Although you don't have quite the variety available with the GE sensors (biggest advantage of the GE sensors I think), the HAI sensors work very well and are better priced.
