Hi Sixwheeledbeast,
Many thanks for the advice. I am more comfortable now I can forget the Scantronic option.
I do not intend to try a DIY installation. I do intend to have the cabling in place myself.
I took your advice that there is no such thing as cannot.
Rather than trying to use the original cables for the three daisy chained sensors, I looked at covering two of the rooms from alternative accessable points.
By coming from the loft I can cut through the first floor in cuboards to lay two new sensor positons, leaving just one of the three sensors on the original 6 core.
The issue with my semi engineering brickwork was not how to break through them, that's already done. The issue is they seem to be Wi-Fi unfriendly.
Sky mesh was a disaster for me. I feel more comfortable now that I can install a wired system with options to Wi-Fi extend if the need arises.
Thank you once again.
