  1. id use one of the resitors to prove the panel and cable. You say you have replaced it, are the resistor values correct?
  2. What have you connected to op3? Ie have you overloaded it previously
  3. Hot plugging all serial could be fine, but when you misalign the pins it's the main board you take out not the plug on one
  4. Agreed you cant compare apps to proper monitoring but dual path apps with polling are better than any dialler (gsm/ip/pstn)
  5. As per the above any app that is free will be the least reliable. While downtime for heating control, smart lights etc its far from ideal for a security system.
  6. No data on the windows machines everything is on the servers which are Linux based
  7. Depends on your broadband setup ups etc I use IP and 4g
  8. anything non pstn is an improvement. Im not a fan of gsm diallers i prefer a polled signalling device
  9. 6 do your kids not watch telly on one, rather than use the huge screen we would all rather watch. Mine use small screens for things i cant get, but thats the way its going and im 44 (this month ffs) so im proper old
  10. Timers and a vcr or knowing what time your program will start. We all want automation done right. Back to basics it's knowing someone is in an area they shouldn't be. Ie movement detector and an armed system.
  11. Snow patrol too possibly But they were a little behind
  12. Out of interest can sting have images of cars on his website?
  13. I like apps, however I know they all need support. I know its not what the OP wants we all want something good for free, but id like at things like availability (ie how much its up) before I looked at cost. I can give anyone an app for free, god knows how reliable it will be though.
  14. I believe you need a separate board in the panel for a wired bell.
  15. Bear in mind the pstn shut off will have unknown issues with comms. I wouldnt be using pstn for any primary path. However the question is very open, I like HKC for rf, 6wb like texecom, gg likes honeywell etc
  16. assuming normal voltages then 300mm
  17. have you disturbed the cable to the keypad? Looks like the keypad isnt communicating with the panel. When was the last service (prior to this one)?
  18. Yes that's definetly a petite. It needs a service for a start
  19. It's not a resistor it's a link. But that will bypass it if it's in use
  20. If you got it purely on rf strength you are way wrong even pyronix has more tx power than risco (it's near the bottom) even visonic has more tx power. Using what you have I get but if it's steam powered it's probably best to replace. I used to rate the 1 way scantronic 4xxx stuff but that was in the 90s rf is way different now
