Door Contact or PIR

[rsbhj]

Just recently installed Pyronix Enforcer wifi set up.

I have had a brand new door installed, and although I have checked with the warranty that a couple small door contact screws will be ok, I really dont want to put screws in the new door.

I am considering double sided tape like below, tape is never a best solution over a fixed fitting, so wondering what is best, remove the door contact and use the PIR as you enter the door and is positioned in the hallway as the entry/exit.

Anyone use this set up over a Door contact?

Does the pyronix nano door contact not come with adhesive tape and screws?

Hi

Not sure but I will take a look, teh package came with the MCMini, but the Nano does look a lot sleeker and smoother overall so even with tape might hold better, I didnt even realise there was this version. Is that the smallest Door Contact they do then?

 

[secureiam]

its relatively new and it will be more discrete and certainly less likely to knocked off

 

[rsbhj]

yeah I think I'll go with that option.

Hi

I ordered the Nano and it is much better than the MC Mini.

I am actually questioning my set up though, do I actually need the front door contact? I have a PIR in the Hall which is set to entry route rather than intruder as this will clock anyone as soon as they come into the house. I also have back door as a final exit and again would need to pass the Hall PIR if using a tag or code. I have a keyfob so not an issue for me but other users it will be.

I guess question is if someone breaks in via the front door, with the PIR being set to entry route would they not have the same time to disable the alarm as they would having a door contact, is the door contact pointless with the PIR set to entry route, is setting the PIR to final exit just going to be the same?

front door yes e/e, back door intruder. been to many where its been setup so they can come in through front, patio, back or kitchen doors, not idea

I need the back door to be set to final exit as I use the back door prob more than the front, walking the dog.

Main query was having a front door contact set to final exit and a PIR in hall set to entry route does that not just cancel the other one out I.e scrap the front door contact and set the PIR as final exit?

No ....entry route will give full alarm if they break in by other area ...eg window

 

[secureiam]

No

 

[rsbhj]

If it’s set to entry route I don’t think it will give full alarm

 

[sparkymarka]

Entry route will be full alarm if triggered before a final exit ...

 

[rsbhj]

Ok I didn’t have time to test it today so that’s good to know

thanks

On another point earlier, the nano does come with double sided sticky tape
