[QUOTE="Doc Hudson, post: 477462, member: 1607"] Firstly, welcome to the forum, But I can offer no practical advice to your question if the solution you are suggesting will work. All I do know for a fact is that your post sums up one of the fundamental problems with any wireless alarm system; i.e. They are easy to install and great if they work as expected but a right pain in the rear end if components start failing or playing up. For reliability and lower maintenance and upkeep costs as the system gets older a hard-wired system always wins hands down in my opinion. I have yet to be convinced that the initial cheaper installation labour costs outweigh the increased expense of wireless kit and the cost of batteries and labour to keep a system working 100% when you need it most. (e.g. the cost of the PIR's you linked to in your post would have bought five or more hard-wired PIRs requiring no further labour + batteries every few years). I also know from first hand experience that perfectly good, brand new fully functioning wireless alarm kit, can be disabled or rendered near useless due to higher power radio signal interference from other nearby properties. Or severely restricted due to the construction of the building it is installed in. Sorry I can offer no quick-fix to your problem, but have you considered cutting your losses, and upgrading to a fully wired alarm system? I wouldn't recommend spending £60+ on that wireless extender I would put that towards a new wired system. Doc H. [/QUOTE]
