Electronic Alarms and Home Security Devices - newb with questions about Concord 4

Hi,

I'm new here and looking to install the Concord 4 to use with Homeseer. I have a few questions:

1. Are there any wireless touchpads available for the Concord 4 besides the 4 button keychain? If there isn't and I decide to instead wire another touchpad to the panel, do both touchpads connect to the same terminals on the panel?

2. Are there any outdoor motion sensors compatible with the Concord 4? I want to install these on the side of my house.

3. On the home security store, the product listing says "The back-up battery & power supply are not included in this kit & are sold separately." Is the power supply it is referring to the wall transformer? Or is it referring to the Superbus 2000 power supply?

4. Are there any wireless sirens that are compatible with this system?

5. If I get the X10 transformer, will I be able to use this X10 horn when the system is tripped?

im gonna reply over at Homeseer too but...

dont get the x10 transformer...
I went with it to get x10 lighting done and control before the plugin was made and found it non useable for our purpose..

you need the standard ac power adapter (non x10 unit) and get the superbus 2000 automation module...

I have it setup SOOOO NICE...

my pc has a serial cable to the superbus 2000
4 wires from cat5 runs about 65' to the alarm panel

I even took 2 spare wires in the cat5 to run from a speaker hooked up to the homeseer machine and on the alarm have it hooked into my internal speaker...

so now I have events setup... when the front door is open... my homeseer pc announces Front Door is Open through the speaker....

Thanks for the responses GEGUY and TeleFragger. Hopefully I can purchase the components to my alarm system soon.
