I am researching ways and means of adding outbuildings to my existing house burglar alarm.
The suppliers tell me there is a spare input so if I could common up the new signals all is simple.
However..... there are occasions when I need to access the outbuildings without wanting to turn off the house alarm. Is there a way of disabling the remote sensors locally? I have in mind a weatherproof keypad but I suppose a simple on/off keyswitch would do the same job. The keypad would have a greater deterrent effect of course.
Has anyone attempted this? I will need to involve the alarm installers for the final connections but don't want to pay their prices for 6 or more sets of local sensors.
