HouseBot with Radio Shack Security System 490-0485
Posted: Sun May 01, 2005 11:29 am
Greetings!
I'm a HouseBot (and home automation) newb, but I did search on this topic and didn't find anything. My question is, is there a way to interface HouseBot with my Radio Shack 490-0485 security system? It's a pretty old 8-zone deal with motion detectors and window sensors. This is the only link I've been able to find for it:
http://support.radioshack.com/productin ... ms&Reuse=N
So is this thing too old to hook up to HouseBot? If not, what kind of hardware interfact will I need to get? If it's just not doable, would there be a way to leverage the existing motion detectors etc? I'm fine with dismantling the security system if I can get something working in HouseBot.
Thanks!
