I need a driveway sensor that detects cars (not worried about people or animals). Preferably it would have a commonplace Form C relay that I can use with an ELK panel and do some conditional programming. I know they exist but don't know where to look. Any clues?

We have used a sensor from Winland, unfortunately they have discontinued this product. If you give Winland a call they can inform you of the company that has a comparable solution (they told me the other day, I just don't remember).

Dakota Alert - wireless, great product, you'll be amazed at the range
[Link: dakotaalert.com]

The Dakota DC powered receiver has dry relays you can wire to whatever. You can have multiple receivers on one project. You can have 4 senders to one receiver, based on setting dip switches. And you can turn off the volume tone on the receiver if all you want is the integration part.

Cartell was the brand that Winland informed me about.

I use one from Sure Action. They offer a directional probe which is a bunch easier than putting in 2 Cartell systems to do the same thing.

FYI, make sure you surge suppress this stuff, gets hit all the time...

Ive used the Meir ([Link: absoluteautomation.com]) on a large Crestron job on Nantucket, and it works beautifully. Run some UG Cat wire and get some UG splicing products and you're good to go. Works wonderfully.
