I apologize if this has been covered before. I am coming off an OmniPro so I am totally new to Envisalink.
I have a new construction going on with a Vista panel installed and Envisalink (with plug in).
Anyway, it looks like one of the wired window sensors was probably damaged during construction. The wire sits in an spray insulated wall so any chance of fixing it (house is almost ready to move in) is cost prohibitive.
So my question is, can a zwave window sensor be installed and act (through the plug in) like just like a wired sensor (fro example, if the window is opened with the panel armed, the alarm goes off)?
Would it be better to skip Zwave and install a Vista native wireless window sensor (this will require changing the keypad to the model that accepts wireless components)?
TIA!
