agreed but if its in short, putting it across a battery with no fuse will spark a lot...

via a fuse... If your disconnecting the sounder and it showing 12v in alarm then you either have a knackered sounder or cable issue. Have you metered the cable?

The days of dial tone meaning delivery are long gone Imo everyone needs a polled service. Even ring polls ffs and who would use / trust that here. I'd be amased on the trade side if anyone was using this sort of thing for family friends etc

I use a hkc control panel and it's rf stuff Then my ha platform is home assistant. I then link my alarm to my ha with an esp 32 module, flashed with esp home

I change all batteries every 2 years. Panasonic or duracell meaningless see attached graph showing discharge curve. They run then once they start to drop are dead within 1 - 2 weeks see above Yes, as you say the device should poll every x seconds or minutes (depends on brand) some stuff can be hours! Once it hasnt recieved them over period x then the panel reports supervision failure

Boiler control next but that's brobably already done

Agreed

I pretty much have that setup Wired movement sensors in every room (including upstairs), these are used as room presense sensors for the home automation. All external doors have wired door contacts All windows have wireless shock sensors External sensors and doors trigger security lights and in alarm Im using HKC detection and controls. Linked to home assistant via output I/F and esp32 I do not allow my HA to disarm my alarm etc. CCTV is cabled and uses frigate (currently) for person / object detection. Use cat 5 to every camera location but take advice on locations as most diyer fit them too high. Use alarm cable to every alarm component. Your going to need an expandable panel and at least 1 additional psu.

if that fuse is only feeding the keypad then yes. But id suspect its also feeding other things. It will be one of those devices. Id go with device rather than cable but as mr h says it could be a staple, nail etc penetrating the cable somewhere

You need to disconnect something or run it on its own fuse to diagnose which bit of kit is blowing the fuse

i dont know what it is but just saying it isnt, without saying what it is isnt the best

what is it then?

not anymore its something else. No 9800 keeps sounding with no power. But its 25 ish yr old so its more likely to be the old alarm vs the past it 10 yr old smoke/co2 etc detector

And are the cameras happy dual streaming. Is the stream exactly the same to both nvrs

as its a 2 yr old + plus topic id create a new one based on your circumstances

I sort of agree, any tone does the job if it doesn't it doesn't matter how loud etc however I have internal and 2 external (front and side)

do they, didnt know that. Most bells as SAB meaning they do draw from the panel. Id be checking the current in alarm to see if the panel can handle it

agreed. It will work like driving with no windscreen but its not best. If you need more circuits use a bigger panel

You need to open and close your final door by the looks

Qfa

SAB mode assuming the panel can handle it/ I started replying but i dont use adb etc, photo of each end please?

you will need to enter the security code

OK but fuses don't blow for no reason. Is it overloaded etc. Which fuse is blowing But yes you can reuse your cabling but if it has issues those will continue on the new panel

I'd be wanting to find why the fuse is blowing, that's more likely a wiring or peripheral issue rather than the panel

i assume your getting comms on the rio and the led flash rate is right (0.1s on 0.9s off)
