  1. No EU complaint panel I know of does this. Honeywell galaxy and vista are not related in any way. The vista is an ademco product, the galaxy/dimension is a microtech one Anything will do that Again any proper comms will connect to an EU panel we do it every day, but insurance approval needs nsi etc approval (i note you know this) Most panels are available as hybrid options allowing rf and hard wired A hybrid will utilise your existing wiring (assuming enough cores and in tact) Your biggie issue is nothing professional is designed to connect to Home assistant nativly due to the risks involved in that sector. Your not imho gonna tick all your boxes. You can get the functionality you require just not with HA. So as alyeti says if you list what you need functionalilty wise then that would exclude other products maybe already mentioned
  2. As above you need the standby times for fire and reporting of fault to the fire panel. Should be dedicated. It can be done but keeping both sets of regs complaint is the issue. ie fault monitoring to both systems
  3. if all you need is limited info from the alarm, ie armed status, in alarm etc then id use something with a good native app and send the relevant info to HA via inputs or if possible 232 printer. I wouldnt have any reverse command options from the HA box into the intruder alarm.
  4. I know its not supposed to be permanant but if i get 3 years out of it ill be happy. I expect the seals to fail on it to be fair with whats its shifting. The grunfos that I bout previously only did 4 years
  5. I got one of these when stuck as the previous 'dark water' pump failed but its been in for over a year now https://www.toolstation.com/einhell-ge-dp5220ll-2-in-1-clean-and-dirty-water-pump/p91077
  6. if your pumping id use float switches up to your head height if thats what your planning
  7. I can't say I'd use plastic inside for any plumbing all I've done on the kitchen etc has been copper and solder. But i can see why it's used on modern builds its very quick and easy compared to tube. I see push fit installed with joints in walls etc but I wouldnt
  8. it is outside. In wp enclosure ive got to consider freezing though too
  9. The remote is for something else but i was playing with it. It will be automatic on a timer using the sonoff.
  10. The speedfit is just being used inside. Will be painted for the 200mm at each basket. Wanted to use it as its in the house and i didnt want any leaks. Ive done it without joints thats why the 4 way manifold. Used this solonoid https://www.amazon.co.uk/Electric-Household-Appliances-Industrial-Equipment/dp/B07WGZ62G2/ref=sr_1_12?crid=E223TKA97H7R&dchild=1&keywords=240v+solenoid+valve&qid=1586805698&refinements=p_76%3A419158031&rnid=419157031&rps=1&sprefix=240v+sol%2Caps%2C146&sr=8-12 for about 12 quid using a sonoff mini https://www.amazon.co.uk/Compatible-Control-Function-Support-Required/dp/B07TRSWY23/ref=redir_mobile_desktop?ie=UTF8&aaxitk=vILe6pEXAnEN4p-U9Y5c2g&hsa_cr_id=2512088930502&ref_=sb_s_sparkle Just cos i have them i dont need the switch input but may add it to the enclosure depending on how the auto goes with the weather etc Currently running on a hose pipe feed but will be plumbed in properly The out hose connection is for the veg patch
  11. Project for today etc using solonoid valve and 10mm plastic speed fit fished in
  12. Maybe upload photos of each end showing the connections and markings?
  13. It must be wired incorrectly. You have an output that is going active on armed connected to something
  14. There is no way to control 3rd party integrations if the provider doesn't have 3rd party certification. Its a want these houses have not a need. Think about what would happen if the system failed to perform. The certification company would be taking all the risk on a system the installer / maintainer has no control over. I believe these integrations rely on engineer level access between them. Any installer doing this without the necessary protection is daft IMHO. There is a 'guide' being worked on but the scope is so massive there is no time line if it ever sees the light of day.
  15. As long as the component doing the disarming meets the component requirements of en 50131 then you can certificate it
  16. Getting any eu compliant panel to talk to a non graded system isnt currently doable out of the box. You can obviously use relays and such like but not ideal. I use home assistant with my hkc system but there is no way id allow home assistant to control the set status only to view or for logic etc. You could probably get the events via 232 printer but ive not investigated that yet
  17. The only system I know that did this was the old castle stuff multiple end stations was called a 2900 to begin with then a multi 2500 or 2700. I'd go with 6 it's probably not linked
  18. Seems like some minds think alike
  19. Looks like a warbutons crumpet
