Hi All, i recently purchased my first first house and the burglar alarm is not working. It’s a Veritas 8c control panel with 7 PIR motion sensors and a few door contacts and an outside alarm and light box. Something on the panel seems to have blown, there are black burn marks on the inside of the casing. Now my dilemma is to just buy a replacement panel (same model) and wire that in and let it be.. or upgrade the panel and eventually upgrade the sensors over time. if I was to upgrade, I would like something fairly modern, maybe that I can control from my phone or receive notifications on when it goes off. Home automation would be a bonus as I also have a nest heating system and amazon echo device. i just really don’t know which to get. There seems to be a lot of options. Some I’ve never heard of, some are very expensive and some need a large panel for all the wiring and then a separate keypad. currently all of the wires to my existing system come directly into the Veritas panel near the front door, I don’t think it would look very good to have a big plastic panel there and a keypad next to it. is anyone aware of a decent smart alarm panel that can be used with my existing wired system that they would recommend? thank you for your help
