Can you provide any more information about this Power G option? Is there an expected release date?
There is no specific details yet. UL certification was completed recently and new panels with Power G compatibility will be shipping this summer sometime we are told.
The daughtercard itself will likely be available around the same time, but I am not sure if it is mutually exclusive with the 319.5 card. We will check with Qolsys for more info.
What are the risks/drawbacks of replacing the Qolsys S-line sensors with a non-encrypted sensor and the 524X?
You would be using some sensors which do not have encryption.
Is there anything to worry about if mixing sensors in a system (different manufacturers, encrypted and non-encrypted, Power G and S-line, etc?)
In general, no.
From above, we’re checking if there is any exclusivity to the radio daughtercards for 319.5 and Power G. Will update here.
