We have a DMP XR200L based wired alarm system consisting currently of
smokes, door/window sensors, and motion sensors.

I would like to add a water sensor in the basement and at least one
temperature sensor.

I would like the temperature sensor to be small and unobtrusive yet
adjustable if possible.

Any suggestions on brands and models to consider that would be
compatible and consistent with my alarm system.

Thanks

Winland Electronics makes an environmental alert system called EnviroAlert that
will do what you want . I sell their products online. Here's a link to their
website. My URL is in my tag line below.

DMP doesn't need a special model of temp sensor, the Winland is fine (the
one RLB posted) - you will need to program & wire it in it in the panel
correctly. I usually program them as Aux response zones in DMP
panels...you'll eat up 2 zones one for hi temp one for low.

You'll need 5 conductors... +/- power, and three conductors for the loops if
using both the high and low temp...one high, one low, one common.

Quick question about DMP (you'll catch on to the reason). Are the
"common" zone terminals at the same potential as the negative aux power?
If this is the case, then you'll only need four conductors to hook up
high and low temps.

I believe so,,,except for zones 9 & 10 (two 12v fire zones)...and any
expansion card zones, or expansion keypad zones...so I'd not do it with 4
conds.
