I always thought it would be very cool if B&K released an *RF* version of it's keypads, which are based on the URC remotes. I'm surprised none of the other keypad manufacturers (Sonance, RTI, etc.) have done it either...

Since you guys are talking about triggering the MSC-400, I thought I'd throw my question in here instead of starting a new thread.

Can sensors such as the Xantech Current Sensing Module ([Link: smarthome.com]) and the Magnetic Field Sensor Module ([Link: smarthome.com]) be plugged directly into the MSC-400? The descriptions on various devices aren't totally clear, I get that they mostly have tolerances around 5-25 Volts, but is that voltage going directly into the MSC-400, or is that voltage interpreted at the sensor, and then a different signal is sent to the MSC-400?

Also, what are the best places to shop online for some of the more obscure devices like these?

How many commands are you wanting to send? Just a few or alot of differant ones?

zytrex: third-party sensors must be fed through URC's voltage sensor, which has a circuit that processes the voltage into whatever the MSC-400 is designed to accept.

Thanks for the replies up to now. I've decided to make a new thread since I'm coming up with so many questions.
