I was looking at the EXP-R30 but thinking that if this is wireless, what would the difference be between connecting this or my wireless accessories (detector, keypad etc)? The i-on40h suggests that it is good for wireless for 1,000 metres (line of sight) and I am wanting to communicate just over 30 metres (through two brick walls). My only wired means between the two locations is via ethernet hence why I was thinking about wireless/radio capability and want to ensure a stable and secure connection to have a zone for my garage. The extender gives better flexibility outputs at the remote location such as wired sounders and configurable outputs, but seems like both options are a possibility and wanted to check with other users thoughts and experience of this panel. Thanks.

Thanks for the prompt response. For clarity; you cannot simply use radio devices from the house to the garage and a wireless extender is required to bridge the space (which communicates via radio to the main control panel)?

I am interested in the Scantronic i-on40h panel as a replacement for my existing wired security system. My house is currently protected via a hard wired and I plan to add more zones (wirelessly to avoid pulling cables in), but I am also wanting to protect my detached garage which is approximately 30 metres away from the house. The garage has a wired internet connect and there is also WiFi available. Can you please advise of the best and most secure way to add a new zone to this type of alarm (is an extender required)? Many thanks in advance

FYI, I opted for the ION40H and am please with the product and functionality and always looking to incorporate additional features. One thing that is bugging me is in the web client, the panel shows as 'Untitled' although on my app it shows as the reference I have given it; can anyone advise if the web client name can be changed/updated? Many thanks.

I am researching and reviewing the options available to me, hence the question.

Any particular reason?

Thanks for the feedback. For any wireless device, it shall mainly relate to door contacts. I shall be DIY

The panel I have is a Scantronic 9800+ (16 zone) with a 9827 keypad.

I am looking to replace my existing wired home alarm system. The existing wiring is fine and have PIRs in each room which I would like to re-utilise if possible; the wiring all goes back to a central point, but would also like to add additional components although due to required cable routes would prefer to do wirelessly and would therefore need a 'hybrid' system capable of accepting both wired and wireless components. A wireless access panel would be preferable. Other functionality that would also be preferable would be integration into other systems associated with home automation such as Google/Alexa, plus CCTV etc. Are there any recommended modular systems that are capable of this? Many thanks.
