Will my alarm sensor work with MyAlerts.Pro?
If you already have door, window, or motion sensors from a home alarm system, some of them can be reused with MyAlerts.Pro — no need to buy new ones. This takes about two minutes and you don't need any technical experience.
Pick up one sensor
Any door, window, or motion sensor from your existing alarm system. Small white or beige plastic pieces mounted near doors and windows are usually these.
Gently open the cover
Most snap open with a light pry from a fingernail or flat-head screwdriver at the seam. You're looking for a small sticker inside — you don't need to remove the battery.
Find the model number
It's a short code printed on the sticker, usually a few letters followed by numbers — for example TX-E201 or QS1132.
Good news — this one should work
This sensor sends a plain, unencrypted signal, which our system can read directly. We'll cover pairing it in the setup guide.
This one won't connect, sorry
This is a Qolsys S-Line sensor. It scrambles its signal for extra security, and only the original alarm panel holds the key to unscramble it — so it can't be reused here. It'll keep working fine on your existing alarm system.
We don't recognize that one yet
No problem — send us a clear photo of the sticker and we'll check it for you personally.
Can't find a model number, or not sure what you're looking at?
Snap a photo of the sensor (cover open if you can) and send it our way — we'll tell you exactly what you've got, no guessing required.
