Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Compared to the ones by Ademco or the other big boys, the DS10A is almost free. I have installed six X10 security consoles. Although X10 systems are not very secure compared to name-brand systems with remote panels, they are an awesome deterrent for very little money. If you shop very, very carefully you can put together a viable system for perhaps $70. And that system will have a DS10A on every window and door!
I have installed about 60 DS10As and with one exception, they all worked perfectly. The one troublemaker now works but I do not know how I fixed it.
The case is a bit large but that is mostly because these use inexpensive AA batteries. You'll want to use alkaline batteries. You can sometimes find alkaline AAs at dollar stores for 25 cents each. If you are installing a household of these sensors, you will buzz through a lot of batteries during installation.
You can also wire multiple normally-closed switches into on DS10A by putting them in series with the reed switch. You can even use normally-open devices by wiring them up to the test switch (soldering required.)
The DS10A is a reliable addition to inexpensive Radio Shack (some) and X10 security systems.
