Thanks for that. That was exactly what I had intended to do.
The current shutter mechanism allows for one touch operation on the existing remote. i.e. press once - gate goes up, press again - gate stops, press again - gates goes down, press again - gate stops and so. Therefore I assume...
Sparky thanks for the advice but I am not sure that sounds right. Connecting the shutter control to an output on the alarm should not make the shutter an on/off mechanism for the alarm.
If the gate were forced then the alarm would still be armed surely?
Thanks for the suggestion, I will take a look into that.
I wasn't however suggesting that you use the Smartkey as a remote for the shutter and the alarm independently. What I was thinking was whether you could wire the shutter to a relay on the alarm system and then get the shutter to open...
Apologies in advance if I get any of this wrong, but it is my first post and I was after some advice.
We are about to install a Texecom Premier Elite 88 control panel, various expanders etc to get to a 40 ish zone hard wired alarm.
We also have a powered roller shutter on the garage...
