Alarm system enhancement - Gardner Yeaw - 10-31-2006 15:14
I have used these sensors in a home automation implementation at my
house. They are really dependable and could be very useful in an RV
alarm system. They react to the movement (flex) of a floor (or
ceiling). The sensor is epoxied to the lower surface of a floor or
ceiling completely out of view. When someone steps on the floor or
ceiling the flex is transmitted to the sensor and it triggers the
alarm. This would be a great way to detect someone on the roof of
your RV trying to get into the storage pod, etc.
The sensativity can be adjusted to ignore pets, combined with
attention to the placement.

It could also be used to trigger low level lighting when you step
out of bed to use the facilities at night. Of course it should be
disabled when driving since it would be triggered constantly.
Just an FYI for those interested in a more flexable alarm system.
