  1. not that its relevant but HKC are testing their G3 panel. Not that they will sell many but maybe its because of the op view. My own system is a hkc 10240 if i didn't need wireless i would probably have installed a Vanderbilt spc
  2. there are different products. Most of the Honeywell stuff over here is galaxy
  3. i rate hkc highly maybe i should do a direct comparison for here. Sia uses hkc and hasn't had a callback ever for rf issues. I've also done test sites for it with and without mesh. But agreed it wasn't vs Texecom
  4. OP everything needs paying for. I would be worried about anyone that can supply any service for 'free' IMHO the best 2 way wireless is HKC but that from my sister comp actually installing it. Visonic and Pyronix are popular due to lower cost. Id search here for views on Pyronix. Honeywell are weak on product offering and availability. Id assume that will change
  5. wow. I wonder if data security issues for installers will be a part of inspection in the future?
  6. i would leave all sensors on pc2 but my own hallway sensor is on pc1. But id never have a one way system tho
  7. i rate crow detectors, never worked on a crow panel tho
  8. hi there
  9. you don't want the led enabled it will destroy battery life. Also they only work once every 3 mins of inactivity. It's one of the many downsides of one way rf systems
  10. no you should be able to unset with any means. I would say you have a config issue.
  11. is the world changing, do you need a spec anymore?
  12. op 6wb is one of the best on here. as he and I say Id look at keypad comms. you could always pay to get someone lesser than 6wb to look at it
  13. don't know the panel but I'd check keypad comms
  14. the idea behind it back then was so that the numbers would auto update. It was called chc. not sure if it still works tho, never used tap
  15. i have one, fluke LCD thing. used to be used for balancing inputs on multiplexers. can't see what id use it for now
  16. you can put an lcd keypad on them bit I've never put a scope on one
  17. iirc all versions of insure are activated by Pyronix, so you would need to call them and be trade
  18. At 14 years id look to replace but you could change the code if the buttons are worn
  19. AFAIK its all US only ATM. There may be regulatory issues in the UK, ie what grade is alexa?
  20. seen as UK support for voice recognition on alexa and Cortana has just been released it might be a bit till proper kit supports it
  21. iirc its a WiFi converter from the Ethernet?
  22. i do like how they add 'pro' to it. It's still a diy product that is obviously vulnerable to attack.
