Security Sensor Breakout

Copyright 2017-2019 SuperHouse Automation Pty Ltd: <![CDATA[]]>www.superhouse.tv<![CDATA[]]>

Based on the circuit described in the "Security / Automation Sensors"
project in the book "Practical Arduino", this breakout allows up to 8
security sensors to be connected with full End-Of-Line (EOL) support to
detect tampering.



Supported sensors include:


PIR (passive infrared) motion detectors.
Microwave motion detectors.
Reed switches.
Glass break detectors.
Gas detectors.


End-Of-Line technology allows the system to detect a variety of events
using a single cable pair to the sensor, including:


Sensor triggered.
Sensor cable cut.
Sensor cable short-circuited.
Sensor housing opened (even when system is disarmed)


Compatible with I/O breakouts such as the I/O Breakout and I/O Breakout
Mega, both from SuperHouse.

Features:


Supports 8 sensor channels simultaneously.
Sensor power supply connections.
"Sensor power on" LED.
Optional status LEDs for each channel
