@gunrunnerjohn posted:Certainly a good price. My only reservation is that the PT2264 chip these systems use is a hard-wired address, it's not programmable like the 1527 Learning Code chips. As long as you can live within the limitations of six switches, these should work. If you buy two of these systems, it appears that they'd have conflicts as the remotes would drive multiple relays.
The following claim seems bogus if they're really using the PT2264 chip.
Depends on one's definition of "flexibly configured". The product info says the Encode type is "Pads". In the context of 2264 transmitters, this means there are solder pads in the transmitter module that set the transmitter's identifying address. The inset photo is not of a 6 channel transmitter as I could not readily find a photo but shows the pads method on a 4 channel transmitter. You apply blobs of solder to adjacent pads to set the address. Presumably, since 2 transmitters are provided, the manufacturer applied solder blobs in the same pattern for both so they transmit the same identifying address.
The product info says the Receiver does have "Intelligent Learning" and the product description suggests the manufacturer already "taught" the receiver module the identifying address of the 2 transmitters.
Note the cryptic comment at the bottom of the product description. If you buy many kits and HOPE FOR INTERFERENCE...
What I think this means is you may want more than 2 transmitters that each have the same identifying address. In other words you WANT "interference"! Kind of a funny way to put it but it tells me upon request they can insure the solder blobs in the transmitters are all in the same pattern. It also suggests they make some attempt to change the address between kits so if you and your neighbor buy this same system, they will not interfere.
If you later buy just a replacement transmitter you might have to open up the transmitter and insure the solder blob pattern matches your original transmitter(s). I say "might" because many "Intelligent Learning" receivers can be taught to act on commands from different transmitter addresses.
Note that the receivers will need a source of DC - it looks like 12V DC for what you show. If wiring simplification is the issue, I suppose there is some consideration as to whether you have a single 12V DC bus running around the layout...or whether you locally regulate Accessory AC or whatever to 12V DC with an AC-to-DC converter module at each relay receiver module.
