Simplehomenet EZSnsRF with the Mighty Mule FM231 Driveway

[ejh3]

Good Evening all!

 

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

 

I acquired a Mighty Mule Driveway alert a while back but have yet to install it because I wasn't sure if I could link it into my Insteon network. (link to the device provided below)

After looking around on simplehimenet.com I found this little device that Smarthome has on sale. Does anyone know if this device would communicate the Mighty Mule Drveway Alert system? The EZSnsRF looks to accept various wireless signals. (link to the EZSnsRF provided below)

Thanks in advance for your help,

The EZSnsRF works with the Dakota Alert 3000 series wireless devices.

 

Nothing in the Mighty Mule documentation mentions compatibility with Dakota Alert technology.

Thanks Lee! I figured I would just see if anyone has tried it. I will let you know what simplehomenet says.

Please do. It would be good to know for sure. The Mighty Mule uses a 4 bit code to identify transmitter and receiver. The Dakota Alert uses a 10 bit code. I don't see how the EZSnsRF could look at a 4 bit code and resolve it to the expected 10 bit Dakota Alert identifier.

Also a very good chance. They use a different RF frequency for their sensors.

FCC Database would confirm the frequency used but you would need the FCC ID number for both of them.
