Abstract
In a home security system, a microprocessor-based controller is responsive to user initiated keyboard entries for programming a plurality of remote sensors via a serial data link with sensor-unique data such as a sensor identification number and a house identification number. The thus programmed sensor may then be disconnected from and remotely located with respect to the controller for providing alert signals via an RF link to the controller upon triggering of the sensor. The programming data is also stored in the controller as well as in a central station to which a plurality of home-based controllers are coupled to provide the security system with a high degree of reliability.
