Previously had Frontpoint in my old house, ring in my apartment. New home, looking for something like Frontpoint but not as expensive. I personally have never had an issue from ring and Frontpoint, both have been great. Limited sensors on ring though.
Some questions I have that I hope you guys can clear up,
1… can I use some of my Frontpoint sensors with Qoslys iq 4? Door window sensors, motion detector, glass break sensors. I have quite a few unopened.
The firefighter wired smoke alarm. Will these work for Co2 detectors as well, if I mount one by a co2 detector?
I see one deadbolt listed on the website. Are other big names compatible and be used as well, like Yale, Schlage, kwikset?
Can someone else explain the powerG curtain pir motion detector in simple terms? I can’t see what it is / does.

Its a motion detector on the PowerG frequency. If motion passes through its detection field of view, the alarm will be triggered (depending on arming status).
While most motions have a wider detection pattern, curtain motions have a slim “curtain” detection pattern. A curtain would work better to detect motion through a single door or thin area, whereas a more traditional motion can be set to detect a whole room or larger area.
If you send the model numbers of each device we can confirm, usually these are on the back of the sensor.
They have used compatible sensors in the past, but it would be good to verify. I do believe they began using some Alula/Resolution Products 319.5 sensors. The Sentrol/Resolution Products glass breaks are identical I believe, but I’d like to verify that with a model or photo.
The IQ Motion is a 319.5 Mhz senssor made by Qolsys. It would be compatible.
Yes all them sensors will work how many cos and smokes do u have there is a certain date that u have to replace the smokes and co detectors reason I’m asking if u don’t have many at all of either id recommend going ahead replacing co and smoke or replace in the near future but rest of the sensors will work completely fine
Looks like you’ve got it sorted, and I would just echo that Life safety devices may be at or nearing end of life. Other than that you should be good to reuse those 319 sensors
