Visonic Door/Window Sensor Battery Holder Hack

Has anyone tried adding a battery holder to the Visonic devices? Something similar to adding the battery holder to arrival sensor? I tried one over the weekend without reading any voltage requirement and it did not work.

Alternative to the Samsung Arrival Sensor?

For me smartphone as arrival sensor never worked very well. Very unreliable. I have been using Samsung’s arrival sensors for about a year and just wanted to share some experience and tricks that I have learned. Since my sensors disarm the alarm, I’d rather not have it on a keychain. Operation. I have sensors in the car. Car is parked in the attached garage. There is a fairly good zigbee coverage.

Not really. No red light. I am going to try it again with a different battery holder.
