  1. ta will do, can i program this or will a factory default fix the daylight issue?
  2. i cant go outside ive done my exercise for today
  3. thats the case on ww1 dont know on dualcom
  4. sounds like a routing issue between csl and the arc, incorrect account number in panel?
  5. Everyone knows they do, may as well post it then pretend its not happening
  6. Is that double knock for a wireless sensor that goes to sleep... That'll work well
  7. I was just saying these features have been available for some time on high end kit. It's now making its way onto budget machines like hik. Next it will be on nest etc and as the slide down continues the performance will too
  8. bear in mind this will become a tickbox feature as lower end gear adds it as a feature that wont work at all like movement detection on traditional dvr's etc
  9. Visonic do shock sensors look at adding those
  10. depends on what you class as cheap. I think so yes, acceptable but low end. A decent hard wired pet tolerant sensor is more than a wireless visonic one. But i dont like them as a theory. If you have pets then peremiter protection is the way to go imho
  11. Its a whole other topic but 'pet' sensors are awful especially the cheap ones
  12. I dont know what you mean. There isnt a native open data out if thats what you mean?
  13. battery life im unsure of, but worst case ill change to 1.5v lithiums Opentherm does work on zones, i run my zones as rooms you can add upto 8 (iirc) trvs per room so opentherm would call for heat output from the boiler based on heat required for the rooms calling for it etc. Nest wouldnt work for me which is why i went for the drayton. The trv's arnt mesh so require powered boosters if range is an issue but in my old cottage I didnt need any
  14. Following on from another thread. I use ifttt and my hkc 10270 with my drayton wiser heating system As it change the mode to away when fully armed i use a modified tr2 as my boiler is too old to support opentherm As the tr2 measures the (single room its located in) temp the boiler still modulates its power output rather than just on and off The wiser system then calls for heat by changing the boiler mode to 'comfort' from frost Plus im on LPG so any savings are magnified due to the fuel cost. Some rooms have more than 1 radiator. I prefer the accuracy of the room stats and will be getting at lease 1 more of these
  15. Yes set at 5 degrees I live out in the middle of nowhere, badgers little deer pheasants etc never had success with it but I haven't tested the gear Pete uses But sunlight, rain etc are issues beams are immune too. Also fog etc. Plus my alarm etc is battery backed my cctv isnt
  16. I only use beams and detectors both wired and wireless for notification and external lighting only. Heating is by alarm set status not yet on a per room basis but i might do this.
  17. you wont be able to link them in that way. I do what your trying to do with beams and external sensors at home. It also controls my heating modes (ie away etc) based on set status also using ifttt. I get app notifications when armed and chime when disarmed But i dont use pyronix anything. Its HKC which is a pro installer only panel. You could get similar with more available kit, ie the spc or dimension but it wont be a simple programming job
  18. Sorry never used one. Pir wise I've used takex and redwalls
  19. Flexibility wise I'd go spc or dimension both will take rf too
  20. Pixel count is one aspect of many things that make up final image quality. Chipset and lens quality is more important ie 8mp digital cameras to not provide the same quality image if so why does anyone buy slr etc
  21. I'd use the optex beans but not the pyronix stuff. You might want something more powerful/flexible than an enforcer it's a basic cheap panel
