How to get several windows and doors on one window/door sensor

[tonyg029101]

get one verizon window/door sensor.  take it apart at the seams (it's not glued and does come apart.  Take out the circuit board and under the board you will find the N.O. mag switch.  Solder wires on both sides of the switch being very careful and not using a blowtorch!   extend the wires out of the plastic cover.. Now go to radio shack and buy the alarm magnetic burglar switches..make sure they are the normally open kind.  get switches for how many windows you want.  Wire them in a loop.. Now when the window opens, it closes the circuit and Viola, the alarm is activated...

Good idea, but perhaps not for the faint-hearted.  Good alarm system practice does suggest that the user limit the number of items (e.g., doors, windows, motion detectors, etc.) one one "zone."  Otherwise, your idea is a money saver.  BTW, does the customer of a VZ security system own the equipment?  Thanks.

If you bought it, you own it...  The other thing I figured, if you screw it up, you only lost $39.95...Also, anybody who relies on the verizon security as their primary system is asking for trouble.  With the constant,"server busy", it is unreliable at best.
