I'm about to start my DIY pre-wire on my home and I want to ensure I'm running the correct wire for an Elk M1 Gold. First of all a few questions:
- I assume I home run all wires from every motion sensor, door contact, window contact, keypad correct?
- What wire(s) do I need to run between the alarm panel and a keypad?
- Rather than purchase external speaker(s) can I use my whole home audio system (TDB) speakers throughout my house? I guess I'd need to figure out how to wire up the alarm panel's audio out -> WHA system.
- Door/Window Contacts: AWG 22/4 - (I know that I can use 22/2 but figured it's easier to just buy a lot of bulk 22/4 and use it for both contacts and motion sensors).
- Motion Sensors: AWG 22/4
- Glass Break w/ Motion: AWG 22/4
- Keypads: *** I have no idea what wire(s) I need to run. Perhaps a CAT 6 & 22/4?
- Smokies: ??? No idea
