Yes!  They act as remotes, and you will need a receiver for each house
code you use.  You can have them directly turn things on and off, or be
watched by something like ECS that then implements a macro or series of
events caused by the security sensor.  If you have more than 16 security
sensors and want them separately watched, you have to have more than one
receiver as the receivers only watch 16 devices on one house code at a
time!
