Does anyone know any DSC neo compatible sensors made by 3rd party companies?

Important: FitLink is not NEO compatible.

For motions, there are Optex FitLink PIRs.

Four major wireless intrusion panels are supported, with Honeywell 5800, DSC, 2Gig, and Interlogix intrusion options.

While outdoor motion rated, the units are also Pet-Immune for indoor use. Street pricing is ~$100 per unit.

Wrong! DSC Neo is proprietary

The motion you linked is 433mhz which NEO is not

That's important, good catch!  I assumed Neo was the same as 433 mHz, but that is a bad assumption!

Neo uses encrypted FHSS so it has no set frequency.

Yes, Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum.  Also two-way instead of one-way back in 433mhz time.   

Now the question is , does this mean NO ONE can make sensors compatible with neo  panel?

I assume trying to duplicate their tech would violate some form of patent.
