Ask yourself why Yale don't trust it
....and more importantly, the Insurers of the installation companies.
which wasI see you too don't want to talk about the (im)probability of the event postulated.
The chance of two sensors being triggered at the same time is extremely small. No one is denying that. (but see below) What JohnD is apparently un-aware off or is choosing to ignore or deny is the fact thatWould you care the estimate the chances of two signals, each of a fraction of a second, occurring at exactly the same time, and both from devices close enough to be heard by the Yale receiver?

Yale DO trust it thats why they sell box after box of the stuff. If they thought for one minute they would fail a legal challenge it simply would not be on the market.
The insurers don't trust it because it's a DIY product that could therefore be incorrectly installed by someone who does not know what he is doing.
Also since the homeowner has access to the log it and the clock settings it cannot be relied upon to prove whether the alarm was set or not at the time of a burglary. Basically the insurers do not have the opportunity to get the proof they need to wrigggle out of paying a claim so they won't approve rhe system.
Provided the equipment complies with the requirements imposed on equipment using the licence exempt radio frequency it would be very difficult to make sucessful challenge. It is the buyer / users responsibility to ensure his needs are fulfilled by the equipment he selects.Yale DO trust it thats why they sell box after box of the stuff.

Or by someone who does not know the limitations of equipment using a licence exempt radio frequency.The insurers don't trust it because it's a DIY product that could therefore be incorrectly installed by someone who does not know what he is doing.
If they wanted to wriggle out of paying they would "approve" systems they knew they could find fault with and then use those faults as the reason to not pay.Basically the insurers do not have the opportunity to get the proof they need to wrigggle out of paying a claim so they won't approve rhe system.

If you tell a person that the performance or function of a system using a licence exempt wireless frequency is not liable to be degraded by interference then you are issuing mis-leading information.the theoretical possibility of an interfering signal.
Don't be silly Bernard.If you tell a person that the performance or function of a system using a licence exempt wireless frequency is not liable to be degraded by interference then you are issuing mis-leading information.the theoretical possibility of an interfering signal.
Scaremongering nonsense.You may buy the wireless system and install it and it works fine. Then a neighbour buys the same system and there are two alarms using the same radio channel to communicate from sensors to control panel and/or siren.
In actual fact he would be able to tell you he also has efficiacy cover included (but with a £2500 excess)Bernard.
Just remember, when the subject of insurance and installers came up last time, takeouts claimed he was fully insured to fit, specify alarm systems when all he had was basic PL cover. Claimed that's all he needed.
