Re: Logisty Wireless Alarms

I think it has a set output, which you can link into a random
timer\relay combo to switch the lights on and off and also interface
it into the heating, you can make your own relay interface or use a
programmer which accepts 'set back' thermistors rather than a standard
stat.

I always buy mine from CEF, that's where the sales type bloke sorted
me out with a decent discount structure. Don't know where your best
bet would be though, sorry.

Cheers for that Lurch, looks like it'll do all I need to do!

Are there any other manufacturers worth considering, with a similar
specification - I liked the idea of the dual radio system.

Dare I ask what sort of price you pay for the Logisty control panel
with an internal / external sounder? Just so I can see if I'm being
ripped off!

Thanks,

Matthew

I can't say as I don't use wireless systems too often, but I haven't
fitted anything other than the Logisty and a Scantronic. I wasn't
overly impressed with either of them really.

Pricey! ISTR the last complete Logisty system I bought was about a
grand or so.

Matthew Humphreys replied to Lurch on 19 May 2004

Hmm... A grand...... I think the prices I found came to £700, but
its only a small system.

The scantronic seems to be cheaper, but if the Logisty is the cheap
Taiwanese import mentioned earlier I may avoid it full stop. Having
fitted both, which do you prefer.

I wish I could run wires - but the layout would mean chaos and the
house is only just starting to resemble civilisation again! Also the
garage is at the bottom of the garden and could do with a sensor.

The scantronic has less zones than the logisty i think??

Thanks SJW

I think the one I did had something extra on it like intercom or door
opener or something as well. That'd be a bit extra.

The cheap Taiwanese import would probably be the Response, big pile of
wank really. As I said, I'm not really keen on wireless alarms but the
Scantronic looks better, not quite so bulky with the sensors and looks
a bit less diy but the Logisty is supposed to be a lot less
susceptible to false alarms. I do remember taking over a service
contract on a Scantronic wireless alarm that was nothing but trouble.
If I had to fit one or the other I think I'd go for the Logisty,
mainly because of the expandability it's got.

Not sure about that, I'd have to check the spec, but for a domestic
property as little as 6 zones will usually suffice.
