Hi all.
Just wanted to double check before I go wiring things.
Basically I just want to connect a door sensor (simple reed switch) and smoke detector (relay COM and NO) to the digital inputs on the GX, to activate the input you just need to bridge between the ground in the RJ12 plug and one of the input pins in the connector, is this correct?
Just as long as there is no voltage fed into the sensor pins?
Cheers
Yes, use dry contacts (AKA potential free contacts) between GND (pin5) and your chosen input.

Use a breakout board (and standard 6-pole telephone wire) to make things easier
