Interesting... were the detectors not scanny or something?

Slight frequency difference I believed.

Ah right. Not sure why either company was particularly worried about the other, especially at the time, but there we go, all ancient history.

We've just published a blog about why these alarms are not great. Stick with graded wireless or wired if possible. If you look on my personal site, you can see what I think of the various systems.

The short of it - easy to jam, easy to replay disarm signals, you can sniff the PIN over-the-air if you use a remote keypad, you can brute-force the PIN as well. I reported these issues to Yale 4 years ago.

Many thanks for the reply and for posting the link. Apologies for delayed response, I've not had access to my E-Mail for a while so didn't get the notification.
