All i can say is apply the same logic to everything else in your home. Id like to know the ages of everything else. We dont say it needs to be replaced to do what you want for profit to us, your here posting no-one is making any money. You still have an old system none of us here would have in our homes. I moved into a house with  ts 900 10 years ago. Its gone. I have a v2 hw 1070 now a 10270 due to firmware upgrades. When i cant upgrade firmware i get rid. This is the bit of kit i trust to protect my home and all around it (granted its linked to HA)

TS900 are pretty robust if installed correctly and serviced regularly.

Still things don't last forever, I often find TS series panels overloaded with failing transformers.

It's also common for the keypads to wear out to the point you need a hammer to press the buttons.

You can try cleaning them and changing the code but at that point your delaying the inevitable.

From memory you would need a 900+ panel for prox to work, so the only way on a 900 would be some third party setting device programed onto a zone, it's not worth the effort compared against an upgrade IMO.
