Alphatronics Visonic Wireless PC Interface
Posted: Thu Jul 16, 2009 11:55 pm
Some time ago i received a new interface i had never heard of or had seen before, made by Alphatronics.
It's called a Wireless PC Interface and it can be used for receiving 868 MHz Visonic Powercode and CodeSecure transmissions.
With this interface i can receive all my Visonic sensor i have, Keyfobs are received very good as well.
Here are 2 pictures of the Interface:
Some details:
Connection : RS-232, 9600,8,N,1.
Number of sensors supported : unlimited
Power supply : 12V DC
LED indicators : COM and Power
A very nice feature of this interface is that every received packet comes with information about the signal level, so you know exactly how good (or not) a specific sensor is being received.
I've made some charts of these signal levels here: http://www.hekkers.net/domotica/SensorS ... harts.aspx
Some sensors are always received very good like the front door, others sometimes show strange 'dips'.
I got the interface from Waakzaam Wonen (http://www.waakzaamwonen.nl), so if you're interested i would suggest to contact them for more information.
There is also a HS Plugin available for some time now. Pieter and i have tested the plugin, but it wouldn't hurt increasing the number of testers and possibly get valuable input for more functionality. So if you're interested just let me know.
