    If I have to say best for range modified scantronic 46xx. Got a good 2km on test. Latest stuff I'm going hkc for range and little hassle, I'm sure Adrians texecom stuff would do well too as 3 way mesh though

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-56082354 Please make sure you don't think "it works that will do' Its saved me a bit what's the worst that can happen?
  3. james.wilson
    the only panel i know of that does that is the hkc. Can you link the user number to prevent use?
  4. james.wilson
    Have you metered the trigger? You 100% it was working before reprogramming ie did you test it before you started. If you did you must of programmed something else
  5. james.wilson
    Coming soon when do you think that is? Apart from not yet?
  6. james.wilson
    have you added it as a user or you looking at the engineer options?
  7. james.wilson
    As above some people want an 'upgrade' but if you have wires you should definitely use them. There is no way your cpx keypad is connected to your enforcer rf system

    for info vids on youtube on how to defeat diy type alarms easily I believe this is a yale simplisafe

    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
  12. james.wilson
    apart from the solid core nature its still cable
  13. james.wilson
    i dont know the texecom stuff well but ive done hkc outside over 500m
  14. james.wilson
    If its a magnetic contact why use WiFi, why not use wireless rf gear to a control panel of choice?
  15. james.wilson
    lol yes 12A or 3KW
  16. 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...
  17. james.wilson
    yes to start with, then move it to the end of the cable
  18. 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?
  19. james.wilson
    What have you connected to op3? Ie have you overloaded it previously
  20. james.wilson
    Agreed I wouldn't hot plug
  21. 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
  22. james.wilson
    I assume this is an Irish unit not a UK one?
  23. james.wilson
    Agreed you cant compare apps to proper monitoring but dual path apps with polling are better than any dialler (gsm/ip/pstn)
  24. 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.
