Ignore this. I sussed it out.

I didn't realise that was a garage - seems obvious now, so yes to the ped. door contact and no to any PIRs (DT's or contacts would be much better)

Whilst probably insulated, I assume the garage is effectively unheated and not 100% sealed so PIRs would not be a great choice.

 

I would always put at least one PIR upstairs myself otherwise you could one day kick yourself, esp. on a domestic which I assume is 'bells only'.

 

Yeah. I suppose you're right. For the sake of the cost of an extra PIR...

Thanks for the feedback guys. The Contact switch on the utility room leading out to the garage is a lockable external grade door rather than a standard internal.

 

That being the case, would you remove or keep it in place?

I wouldn't put contacts on internal doors unless lockable or sprung shut (unlikely on a domestic)

 

Do you have anything upstairs at all?

 

Haven't put anything upstairs. Was thinking about putting a PIR in the upper landing but there's no real access to upstairs windows unless someone brought a ladder. What's your thoughts on this?

 

Thanks again for the help. Much appreciated.

Or how about this?

Hi guys,

 

Due to get the keys to my new place next week and have finished programming my wireless system. Just looking for some advice on my plan now. Is the below OK or would you move things around?

 

P = PIR Unit and C = Magnetic Door Contact.

 

Any comments & advice most appreciated.

 

Thanks

what made you buy that gear?

but yes you should set devices on the entry route to that

 

Thanks. As for the purchase choice. I read reviews on wireless systems.. General consensus was that two-way signalling was important and that the Pyronix was pretty user friendly to set up. Was either that or the ricochet but heard it was harder to use. 

 

Originally was looking at the Panasonic Smarthome stuff but even they admit its not a replacement for a proper security system and the Home control still gives smartphone alerts. 

 

Not cheap though. 

[Entry / Exit routes]

Hi everyone. I'm new here and been lurking and reading through threads for the past few days.

 

I'm moving house soon and have bought and pretty much finished programming the Enforcer Homecontrol+ kit. Idea is that when we get the keys most of the alarm set up is done. One thing that I'm a bit confused about are the input types. My confusion probably relates to alarm installs in general rather than specific to the panel I'm using. 

 

If i want to be able to get to the panel to enter my code by entering the house from the front or back door should I have all PIR sensors on that route set to "Entry Route" with door contacts for each set to "Final Exit"?

 

...and all other sensors not on that route set to "Intruder"? 

 

Really appreciate any help and sorry if this has been covered but I've not managed to find a thread on it.
