Hello,
I am just getting started with HA and am preparing to buy some Z-Wave motion sensors to trigger a hall light in my home and interact with HomeSeer. Eventually, though, I'd like to get the Elk M1Gold security system and integrate that into my HA set-up, with which I hope to use Caddx wireless sensors. I had a couple of questions that I was hoping someone could answer.
1) Would I be able to use these z-wave motion sensors to trigger an alarm in a z-wave savvy Elk installation?
2) Would I lose anything security-wise by not using the Caddx motion sensors?
3) Does anyone have any experience with the pet-immune Caddx motion sensors? How many pounds of animal will it ignore? (I don't have a dog right now, but I'm planning on getting one someday.)
Thanks in advance for any help!
Alex
