Been researching what’s the best door/window sensor for the IQ Panel 2+. When I upgrade, I want to move to all encrypted sensors over time.
Seems like it’s the new PowerG PG9303 vs the Qolsys S-Line QS1135-840.
The PG9303 just made it through FCC approval, don’t see it available anywhere yet, and the QS1135 has been out for a while.
The PQ9303 uses one CR2450 battery, the QS1135 uses two CR2032’s. Thinking the QS1135 will be cheaper at first.
The PG9303 with PowerG seems like better technology, but I wonder if it really makes that big of a difference in a regular consumer house hold. The PG9303 also has no restrictions listed in the Qolsys compatibility PDF, while the older PG9975 had that signal test restriction for now.
Also, it looks like firmware 2.3 is out, with some new stuff, including support for the new PowerG sensors.
