    I'm not saying your green or short of anything. My concern in your case and others following this thread in the future is the idea that 'it works' once so must be OK. Will always work once when it's needed... Wrong. One way rf is awful fine for doorbells, I'm here requests etc but for not for security. As I said look into. Imo discount 1 way for anything other than door bells but not all 2 way stuff is equal.

    You can make it look like it works using various rf receivers. You ought to look into rf and alarms. The home automation forums are happy with sonoff 422 485 rf etc. The DIY market does use those freq as well as 868 but that's all. Look into properly before you think all are the same

    Best way solid core is awful on screw terminals
  4. james.wilson
    apart from the solid core nature its still cable

    i dont know the texecom stuff well but ive done hkc outside over 500m

    If its a magnetic contact why use WiFi, why not use wireless rf gear to a control panel of choice?
  7. james.wilson
    lol yes 12A or 3KW
  8. james.wilson
    Agreed anything over 12kw shouldn't be on a plug top or on the ring yes it will work just like taking all the panels off your car including the windscreen will get you to where your going...
  9. james.wilson
    yes to start with, then move it to the end of the cable
  10. james.wilson
    id use one of the resitors to prove the panel and cable. You say you have replaced it, are the resistor values correct?
  11. james.wilson
    What have you connected to op3? Ie have you overloaded it previously
  12. james.wilson
    Agreed I wouldn't hot plug
  13. james.wilson
    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

    I assume this is an Irish unit not a UK one?
  15. james.wilson
    Agreed you cant compare apps to proper monitoring but dual path apps with polling are better than any dialler (gsm/ip/pstn)
  16. james.wilson
    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.

    No data on the windows machines everything is on the servers which are Linux based
  18. james.wilson
    Depends on your broadband setup ups etc I use IP and 4g
  19. james.wilson
    anything non pstn is an improvement. Im not a fan of gsm diallers i prefer a polled signalling device

    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

    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.
  22. james.wilson
    Snow patrol too possibly But they were a little behind
  23. james.wilson
    Out of interest can sting have images of cars on his website?
  24. james.wilson
    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.

    Superb
