The usage would be some general indication (via text / auto voice
message) of activity into (door switch x 2) or within (IR) a remote
building (that has mains power) and possibly in 'silent' mode (no need
/ point annoying the neighbours for accidental / nuisance trips).

We wouldn't mind spending a couple of extra quid for something tried
and tested and sanctioned by the panel. ;-)


I've had one of these:

working for a few months. Seems reliable so far, although I switched off
the push texts as I don't arm the system as such. When I'm interested, I
check via an app on my smartphone.



That's an interesting alternative to what I was first considering Rob.

Does it have an alarm panel type function with a keypad or wireless
fob to give you some sort of entry / exit delay to any 'protected'
areas?

As an aside ... I was wondering if the Samsung 'Smarthings' kit would
interconnect with my Dometicz logger project?
