Sensor for gun safes

Hi!

That's a great question. You are certainly correct that the walls of a safe may be too dense for wireless communication to work properly.

If it were me, I'd modify an entry sensor to use an external wired switch, with the switch inside the safe and the modified sensor outside (out of sight but accessible to the SS base)

I just have the room protected more than any other room in the house.  Motion, camera, and even an entry sensor on the door to the room set to secret alert.

I'd have two sensors, one set to secret alert and one set to AWAY
