Hi,
Unfortunately suffered a break in recently, fortunately the alarm scared them off, but they still damaged the door which took a day to sort. Not to mention several visits from the police. I still don't understand why they attempted it, my bell boxes are prominent so they must have seen them, yet the scarpered after hearing the actual alarm :/ Waste of my time/money, the polices and the burglars aswell.
Anyway rant over, the reason I'm posting is this has prompted me to implement some additional deterents. One of them would be having lights activate at various times while I'm away. Since I have IR controlled light switches in most of the rooms, I was thinking some sort of programmable IR timer remote may be the simplest/cheapest way to achieve this. Only problem is I can't seem to find any
Does anyone know of any that exist?
