Frank you appear knowledgeable. Any idea how to find if there is an
equivalent. I must say, the salesmen was aware of the 35 doors and
windows I had prewired. I see now he figured I'd be locked into ADT
and have no choice but to pay them $1200 to connect the doors and
windows, plus keyboards. $35 to connect two wires. Common, that's past
flat-out ripping you off.
