Adding wireless device to wired alarm

    Currently have a HKC alarm (8 zone).

    I have just installed a shed in the back garden and want to add this to the house alarm.

    I have no power to the shed which is about 30m from the HKC panel.

    As it’s a wired alarm and all 8 zones are used up, my intention is to add a wireless PIR in series with one or the zones and install this PIR into the shed.

    Would someone be able to tell me what my options are here, with regards to what hardware I would need to get.

    Many thanks

    I don't know if the aritech sensors would have enough range to cover this :P
    Would there be a chance of running a wire to the shed ? If you did this you could use an ID PIR sensor in the shed and also swap a sensor in the house on its own zone to an ID sensor . This way you can give the zones their own names ie hall beam and shed beam .

    Thanks but don't have the option of running a wire at present. Just paced it out there and it's actually 23m. Is there any hardware available at this range.

    Cheers

    I think an 868mhz sensor and quick bridge would work .
    I know the HKC gear would easily cover this but as far as I know they don't make a quick bridge .

    Many thanks

    Risco have a quick bridge, it is called a nova receiver. REW sell these along with the sensors to go with it. All you need is free zones on the control panel.
