Extend House Alarm to Cover Shed???

Hi All



Second post on the subject of my new Shed!



I have installed a fully wired house alarm (many moons ago). Having just taken delivery of a new shed, I was considering running a cable for a PIR to include the shed as a separate zone on the house alarm system.



Q1 - has anyone done this and if so did they have problems with nuisance tripping or similar as a result?



Q2 - I have a duct route to the house, but using this would mean the alarm cable would be in parallel with a Hi-tuff mains cable. Would this result in issues? Realistically, when the alarm is set, there wouldn't be anyone in the shed and therefore the mains cable shouldn't be in use.


Thanks


Phil
