I bought 12v linked detectors and wired them into our house alarm on the
24hr loop.

Interesting idea. I was actually thinking of the actual sensor housing
having a PIR as well as a smoke detector. Also using the same wires.

Wouldn't you want a different siren for smoke? With a burglar alarm you run
into the house and lock the doors... and the other, you run out...

The alarm panel I installed in my last house in the mid 90s supported
a separate fire circuit, and the PIRs had smoke detectors in 'em.
There was a separate bell box connection for the fire circuit too, so
I wired it up to an old firebell I had lying around

I think it was an Omnicron but I wouldn't swear to it.....the name
MST3000 springs to mind too.

It's time to source a similar panel for this house too I think. After
fitting mains powered detectors in other houses I want them here as
well, as well as an extra couple of zones.
