It all depends on how competent you are at that stuff really. You will find it's only available on top end enterprise routers, if your using a router to do it. The whole point of a VLAN (Virtual LAN) is to isolate the LAN into sections, so yes that wouldn't work on the LAN side.

Texecom Registered installer.

I am not trying to put you off but when flashing it's critical that it goes well or you will brick your panel. If you save a few quid but you brick a panel it's not a good cost saving exercise. Also the flasher has been the same for years, even the older less powerful panels had the same flasher separate. I can only speculate the reasons for this, maybe security or cost are some of the factors.

I second that. The programming port is for flashing only.

Err, well unless on engineer reset, no.

Have you reset the system? It's possible the battery charging circuit is faulty or has a blown fuse.

The negative posts are obviously from individual experience. To each there own, not one panel will suit all installers for one reason or another. Some of the positives you mention are negatives for others.

Cost hight? Definitely biased

They are free, Apple and Android.

Your looking at kit that the installers you have quotes from may have never fitted. If you are really unsure from what we have said so far, the only other things I can think of is:- Mesh, Texecom is Mesh based this maybe a good thing or it maybe a not so good thing. Generally you need more devices to increase signal security, with the idea that devices talk to each other not just to the controls. In a normal house the mesh will make little difference either should work fine. Range of devices, I know that Texecom has a large range of kit from Outdoor PIR's, DT's, Smokes, PA's .... As for others I don't know them well enough to comment on there range of kit.

The usual advice is get at least three quotes from approved companies. Choose the one you feel comfortable with and suits your needs, not necessarily the cheapest. Have you also compared warranty periods, maintenance procedures and service costs?

I would think less about the kit and more about the installer. I would go Texecom but only because that is preferred kit that I know very well. Different installers will use different kit that suits there company and they are trained and experienced on.

Inspectors make there own rules up...

Would only use pet sensors as a last resort, best to install perimeter protection in those areas. Bosch ones seem to work well.

Eh? Anyway glad your sorted.

Assuming they're wired devices, it still sounds like a programming issue. It should work OTB, maybe if you can't find the attribute that's been changed start a fresh. I would also start to consider if the detectors are in the best location.

Something is programmed incorrectly. This shouldn't happen. Call a local installer?

You can't that would defeat the object of the alarm.

I agree, this is a case that the ICO have been watching closely. They are currently working with the MoJ on how this is to effect UK law, but no update has been given AFAIK.

I think you will find there are outstanding changes as of December last year. ICO have updated there website to reflect these changes.

That is not how the ICO interpret it, since the exemption changes last year.

Mains could have surged when they put the power back on.

Time to start selling iD biscuits for £50 each then.
