EZSnsRF Wireless Sensor Receiver for Dakota Alert

The SimpleHomeNet Wireless Sensor Receiver (EZSnsRF) brings true wireless RF (radio frequency) products into the INSTEON world with compatibility with all Dakota Alert Series 3000 transmitters. The device takes RF signals transmitted from any Dakota Alert device--from driveway alerts to proximity sensors to liquid sensors--to trigger events in your INSTEON network. Set up a driveway alarm that turns on the house lights upon detection of a vehicle or have an alarm activate whenever an intruder trips the motion sensor in the backyard. With support for over 4,000 different wireless devices, you have the flexibility to set up a multitude of sensors in and around your house to keep your home safe.

While basic functions can be programmed manually, advanced functionality can be programmed with the EZSrve, central automation controller. If you already have a central automation controller or a software package for your INSTEON network that doesn't have the correct parameters to program the advanced functionality of this device, you can download the free Simplehomenet Utility Suite which works in conjunction with an INSTEON Powerlinc Modem (2412U, 2413U or 2413S). If you need PC-free operation for simple timers, the SHN Utility Suite also interfaces with the INSTEON Powerlinc Controller.

More Info

The high sensitivity receiver boasts outstanding range, up to a maximum of 600 feet (line of sight) to cover any sized house. Moreover, the device can learn the codes of up to 20 distinct wireless devices, allowing you to send INSTEON group commands to a host of lights and appliances in your home. For time delayed events, you can set up timers from 0.5 to 15.5 minutes so you can set the front walkway motion sensor to turn on the porch lights to welcome you home and then turn off after a few minutes.

The EZSnsRF also acts as a repeater of powerline INSTEON signals, and conveniently contains a pass-through outlet on its face for other AC devices, so you won't lose an outlet when you plug this device in.
