  1. When was it last serviced? A power fail shouldn't cause any issues the fact it has points to a problem imo
  2. You should be able to use a 3rd party reader and is better way than using the access to arm etc
  3. Never had this issue, is it a pay as you go sim?
  4. WHat do you have the internal siren programmed a, if its bell it wont when unset
  5. Sorry i have no idea what it is, thats possibly and probably my limitation, is it progeny based?
  6. ring and simplisafe etc have burglar guides on youtube, look yourself for howto guides on defeating
  7. 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
  8. 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...
  9. On a wired system you can just replace the control panel. However how old is it all?
  10. 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
  11. 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
  12. That's doable without the video, is the call station sip or sim?
  13. to add i have also met sales reps that blame unit performance on reg changes or the regs in general when untrue.
  14. 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
  15. Are you getting any push notifications or is the ipad the only device?
  16. 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
  17. 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
