As swb says best option , wired bell in scb mode using expander board

Good thing google reviews don't matter to you....

Which chip shop did you pick?

In a council cafe?

What Bosch they use Some of these decision makers in councils take far to long to retire , dictators lol

Ion is one of the worst without a doubt , probably someone chose it because they have on in there house instead of looking at the commercial qualities of other panels against the ion

One thing you guys have taught me is how many come on the forum and blag , as resident blagger I would say more like panel unlocked

Connect computer to a platform lift , no need to crack codes , just get lift to take you up to bell box , you can get from hss Or alarm man will do with ladders wood pallets of doom and bucket full of tools

Are you saying , you don't feel like you own a device unless you have access to factory settings , so you have this with your tv , washing machine , car , and so on ??? Thought so , I am confused why your here , I mean you cracked everything now, done deal , sorted , security done , You finished it ?

Ok software engineer now makes more sense Look if your really want to do it just do it , probably mean you won't have a working alarm for a while , however you could buy another panel and keep devices if the old one is locked and work it out on the bench However many a software engineer do funny things to alarms lol

Sounds to me you will be like previous owner , won't spend on it, and get a texecom engineer in, hence the problem with bell and anything else , either way you need to pay someone to reset it do something for you If you load defaults it won't brick it no , but you will lose all information and start from scratch , so aswell as whatever faults still exist , a load new ones will appear Your probably thinking you can just buy a new panel and do it yourself , well good luck with programming it , it isn't the easiest of panels to work with if you don't know what your doing Just being honest get a texe pro to help you , it will be worth it , or try loading defaults and hopefully within 6months it will be working how you want it to, paid extra for system , used unserviced

No it won't work No you can't make it work and if possible waste of allot of money Switch to app system and pay monthly for good service

Something as old as this needs scrapping , I suprised you managed to make this post with such and old phone ?

Ion 16 discontinued, and won't do the app best to scrrrap it Ion40 will do it

It doesn't ask you to press ESC..... But good DIY bashing ......

1hr travel each way? Setup Analyze Get pallets of doom in order 4hour? £150?

So much the same changing polarity changing output type and so on all in programming Well done for remembering

I didn't say panel reset ? What's bell tamper got to do with bell trigger? Other than than that look through menus and manual you will see both options on what you can and cannot change

So then if panel isn't faulty you may have changed the polarity by mistake Make sure it's neg and do a panel restart before testing it again And of course as above did you change bell delay ....

Your making this far to over complicated Have you not ordered one yet ? Buy one on eBay or Amazon that you can return if it doesn't work to what they say it will do very simple Long story dude , hit that button buy it man

Something like this will do, don't be Muppet and use payg SIM , you need monthly However might cheaper on long run to have a gsm universal hkc module installed by a company , perhaps other manufacturers also do them , or as mrH said another communicator of sorts

But they do security alarms , and these days smart ones to https://www.erahomesecurity.com/security-products/smart-security/

No legal requirement

Not alarm no
