  1. WHat do you have the internal siren programmed a, if its bell it wont when unset
  2. Sorry i have no idea what it is, thats possibly and probably my limitation, is it progeny based?
  3. ring and simplisafe etc have burglar guides on youtube, look yourself for howto guides on defeating
  4. Keep the data lines free and flowing make the powers short and together. You will know if you are happy with how it looks if your not do it again. Imo never make cables too short. Im not a dressed fan imo it has to be functional and practical. Stand back after and either be happy or move stuff and redo it
  5. Agreed app solutions are great for notifications but that's it. Give it time I'm sure it will improve, just like it got better with 3g then 3.5g then 4g now 5g. None of them cover the country tho yet. I'll say it will work well enough when WiFi isn't needed because we have 11a...
  6. On a wired system you can just replace the control panel. However how old is it all?
  7. Battery should be sized to meet standby req without knowing the system currents you can't size it correctly. I would go with the size you need. I'd also advise a decent brand, failing batteries kill panels. Nasty one fail faster and harder. I'd also say it's the panel battery as its showing 0001
  8. it will need to be replaced or chnage the code to not use that button, but at 20 yr old id be looking at replacing it
  9. That's doable without the video, is the call station sip or sim?
  10. Is this for a museum?
  11. to add i have also met sales reps that blame unit performance on reg changes or the regs in general when untrue.
  12. No I havnt. Which unit? Id say normal walk test would be to test it to the extremity of the protected area. I see a lot of other systems where 1 unit is used where 3 are needed
  13. Are you getting any push notifications or is the ipad the only device?
  14. It should be compatible
  15. A link to someone doing similar on HA https://community.home-assistant.io/t/smart-implant-to-give-new-life-to-an-old-burglar-alarm/244989
  16. There is a product called konnected Iirc but I can't see the point of it when you can use a panel that can do it directly. You must remember our primary focus here is security and reliability. Most of the time isn't good enough in the security sector
  17. I can understand arming it via ha but I'd never recommend disarming that way No you couldn't. You need a URN to do that.
  18. Thats a plus I must admit
  19. As has been said have you tried the rest of the market or moved from risco to orisec?
  20. Or press reset a few times
  21. Don't use home kit but I integrate with home assistant. Easiest way is to upgrade as its an 800l it's getting on. Alternatively I'm guessing the voltage on the zone inputs is 5v. You may be able to pick that up into gpio or use trans relays. Alarms should be kept seperate Imo from automation but the sensor info and armed status is great for presence detection
  22. As above hope its a better one for you all
  23. Hi there
