Why are they in bedrooms?

Ive often sold it as an extra, when the customer already has a fire alarm

Ive ordered a couple of bilge pumps and a float switch

Looking at the Konnected diagram on that page its not talking in any format its just wired into the zones for inputs and the out puts for ....outputs Any panel will work with one of these. Assuming that your insurer is happy with DIY and that you dont need Police response, all you need is a hybrid panel with maybe a few additional outputs. The way you formed your original question sounded like you needed something totally different Monitoring in our world is sending signals to an alrm monitoring station to call the police, monitoring imn your world is adding a board that tells you your alrm system is working.

Ability to connect to Home Assistant, via Alarm Decoded or Envisalink boards In What format? External Keypads and Siren Nearly every alarm panel has this facility nowadays Ease of connection for central monitoring station such as AMCO (dual path for insurance) You dont want a basic panel I would prefer the option to also add additional sensors that I missed off via RF as well, even panic buttons etc if that's possible. You want hybrid All sensors are currently wired back to central location, windows, doors, pirs etc They all do that When I asked what do you want the panel to do I meant what are you wanting from home assistant IE the detectors in the rooms to talk to your hub and switch lights on and off, when you open a door for longer than 20 secs it switches the heating off. We need to know what format you need it to integrate SIA, 232, 485 or basic input outputs?

I am fairly certain that if the Fire alarm has to be monitored with brigade response it has to have its own monitoring in order to be fully compliant. If the fire alarm doesnt have to be monitored but you want brigade response thats a grey area. If it doesnt need to be monitored nor does it need brigade response (keyholder only) you can connect it to the intruder.

Maybe you need to tell us exactly what you need the panel to do

I have one similar to the one James I was using it for pumping the water that cam off the pool cover in the winter time. It struggled with leaves as I remember and its a few years since I need to use it I might see if its any good.

I think the water isnt to bad its a big tank, if you read the reviews there is a guy that uses it in his allotment to pump water up hill The one I use for my fishtank is 7 or 8 years old, it is used for clean water only (with additives) but I have left it submerged for weeks in the past

I was thinking I could use a few of these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CARAVAN-MOTORHOME-12V-SUBMERSIBLE-WATER-PUMP-COMET-VIP-PLUS-20L-PER-MINUTE-NEW/183948851003?epid=1223130493&hash=item2ad434b73b:g:dBUAAOSwv0tU5fki I already use them for refilling my fish tank and when need to refill the adblu in the Merc. I know theyre not high pressure but I am thinking do I need high pressure if its doing it automatically then it can do it for longer

I should say the sonoff is to set up automatic watering

This subject has got me thinking, I have one of those big square plastic tanks installed under the decking in the garden, its filled from rain water off the roof of the garage. We use it for watering the plants at the bottom of the garden using a hose and gravity. The problem is its quite a long way and the pressure is quite low, also the tank fills very quickly over the winter and I could do with filling some more water butts at the bottom of the garden by the greenhouse, I was thinking I could use a submersible pump like they use in caravan showers and stuff and switch it on and off via a sonoff relay. and another one that turns on when the tank is full to fill the two butts at the bottom of the garden .

same here

No you have to wait till the music stops

HKC

cant you just get one of these?

I did think it was out of character Dave I checked your IP just to be sure that noone had hacked your account

Did you change anything other than the bell? I would start by removing the strobe and bell (yellow and white wires) then see if arming still blows the fuse then put them back one at a time to see whats causing the problem. My money is on strobe

He started it ^

I would use third party to arm but not disarm "Alexa set the alarm"

I also use HKC and it is connected to my lights for alarm activation, curtousy, and to make sure all the lights are off when its armed, but I am using 433 for that. There are panels out there that do talk with various hubs but as James says I dont believe they are compliant. The Polish Satel Integra panel does have some integration but again I am unsure on its compliance Agreed if you need dual path for insurance you cant diy it

I could have purchased them branded, but seriously I couldn't retail them . They will put a brand name on anything over there

They didnt say Hik on them they just had Hik firmware, but that was were the similarity ended, they acted like Hik, the settings were exactly the same. Everything thought it was a Hik camera (I was using our own Elise recorders) but Hik recorders thought they were genuine too. They were in standard eyeball camera housing with Sony Davinci CMos chips. The ones that worked, worked well but we had a high failure rate, and to return them China wanted import duty which made it expensive to get them fixed, the supplier did send free replacements but the QC was shite. I just used them as dummy cameras now for existing and new customers

Pool is looking a lot lighter green than it normally does when I open it, it did look black when I first opened it as usual , but it seemed to have cleared a lot quicker than usual. Beer o clock now, I might fire up the barbi for dinner
