JimboF Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Hi, I am considering installing a wireless alarm system in my house. Most of the ones I am looking at (Yale e.g. IA-210) are 868Mhz and I understood this was a better frequency than 433Mhz as it is less 'busy' so less prone to interference. Unfortunately, I have just discovered that the wireless thermostat that controls our central heating system also operates on 868Mhz. Please can anyone advise on whether it is likely that there will be interference between the thermostat and an alarm system operating on 868Mhz? Thanks, James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, James It's possible , especially with DIY stuff and depend on position of sensors and other factors batteries , what heating controls you have , some are worse than others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

datadiffusion Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Yale is the worst choice you can make. I would not be too concerned about thermostat interference with a decent, 2 way wireless system, e.g. not Yale.

aissecur Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 (edited) Yale are not too bad at locks but not as a CCTV / Intruder alarm suppler IMHO, if you have the skills / knowledge to fit then look at Pyronix enforcer but I would thoroughly recommend getting an installation company in to assess your home & vulnerabilities. That way hopefully you can have peace of mind Edited July 30, 2019 by aissecur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixwheeledbeast Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 More items are using 868 now as 433 was congested. 868 is now very close to 4G mobile too. Your better to safe your money than fit DIY tat I would normally fit wires where possible but that doesn't mean a professional grade two way security system wouldn't be stable.

PeterJames Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Yale is Chinese tat rebadged, its cheap though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 But it's still a recognised brand. It's assumed im assuming that makes it better than the professional stuff. As Pete has said previously 'wonder why b&q etc don't have a yale bell on them' good job they have a decent system protecting all that yale stock....

Although I guess at the end of the day the sensors are probably the same as any other reference design with a unique looking case...
