Yale Smart Alarm External Box

[Bunster]

Does anyone know if you can use another manufacturer's external siren with a Yale Smart wireless system?  The site is a listed building in a conservation area and we'd like something a little more discreet!  (I've submitted this question to Yale, but so far no response)

Thanks, Tim

Seriously doubtful to be honest but I think your asking in the wrong place, none of us would actually install Yale alarms and certainly not on a listed building.

Building worth much?

2 million, if it was worth double he might have considered a powermax...

I look after 2 adjacent 1.5-2 million pound properties in Bath, both unusually still complete houses where most others are flats.

 

Both nice owners, but owner No. 1 won't upgrade his ion 40 to the cloud version because 'it's a bit dear'. Remember, Eaton are

the ones with no monthly fee for cloud

 

I would add the house is full of gadgets including nest, servers, etc... so it isn't as if they are techphobic.

Yale is a DIY product they are not going to provide you with options you get what you get in the kit.

Although, there was that attempt to flog them via 'approved' installers a few years back, black bells IIRC, I think that fell flat on it's arse.

 

But yes OP, DIY tat I'm afraid and you'll be lucky to get a reply, that will tell you they don't sell anothing other than the horrible yellow circles.

Way i read the OP is that they wanted to use a different manufacturers external sounder with the Yale system, might be totally wrong though .

Yes, that is my question.  Can anyone help please?

A Yale sounder is the only thing which will work on a Yale alarm

 

It can probably be refinished or repacked to look less "Yale"

 

However its a DIY alarm, the only time I see them is when they get taken out...
