[@hell-p2s]

I'm just trying to learn how to sneak out😭😭

[@Luke-gd1bg]

Lmao same, I’m tryna remove it without alerting my mom

[@mash2865]

Real

[@PlayRightParent]

Do any of them work without having the rest of the system

[@SecurityDotOrg]

Not when it comes to sensors. They always need a compatible home hub.

[@martialag]

Can you pair any type of door and window sensor with any type of alarm system?

[@milky216]

Unfortunately you cannot most systems are proprietary. You would not be able to link certain systems together. Always check for compatibility with your alarm system.

[@ahgase_army2392]

I think its safer to set them with different alarms ( I mean its how you know which door or Windows are being opened so that you can also find a safe place to hide ... i guess?

[@ritikpal1491]

what are the options of powering these devices?? I dont want these to rely on batteries. If possible i would want it to connect it to a power outlet or hardwired.

[@SecurityDotOrg]

Most DIY systems are battery operated.

[@luisfont6140]

Is there any sensor that is rainproof?

[@SecurityDotOrg]

There are several options on the market.

[@luisfont6140]

@@SecurityDotOrg can you share the brands/models?

[@Amapramaadhy]

wish it talked about battery-life for these things

[@SecurityDotOrg]

Most DIY systems are rated for 3 months of battery with heavy use, but it does vary from product to product.
