I used it so I knew if somebody was home or not, but I recently bought a Visionic alarm panel which offers me the same thing

The 2nd reader is no different then the first reader. The only difference is that the second reader does not come with a cable to connect it to your serial port. However, the pinout is available in the documentation so you could easily build your own. It is just a DSUB9 connector with 2 cables. One for power and one with an RJ45 jack to go to the reader.

Any good offer and its yours. I am willing to sell them individually if that helps getting rid of them
