I have a ADT Safewatch 3000 with wireless sensors.
I would like to install a sensor for a TV in a articulated mount that I have outside my house. What type of sensor should I use? Also, how do I program it into my system??
Thanks for your help!!

Since you have wireless, you can use one of the standard wireless transmitters with an external contact and put the magnet on the bracket, and switch half on the TV.
If you are worried about the magnet around the electronics, you can go with a simple pull apart switch.
Without seeing how the bracket is put together, it's hard to tell you what the best switch assembly will be. Heck in some cases, a simple wire loop might do the trick.
There is a 24 hour zone type that should do the trick.

If this is an area that could get wet, or be exposed to temperatures below 40 degrees or above 95 degrees then wireless might not be a good option.
