Mark Rider Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 So I'm going to fit an alarm to my new bungalow. Have narrowed it down to a Euro 46 pryronix Not decided on PIRs yet as i want to understand about pet ones as i have a cat that wonders . Looking at the instructions it seems ok to fit. I have never fitted one but am up to speed with electrics. Any one got any advice with these, good control panel ? Easy to fit and programming ? Many thanks Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Rider Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 So do you think the app version is a good option . Not herd great reviews of it. Can you still have the modem to send SMS in the until ? Thanks Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simlec Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Both very good but app version better. Where have you herd bad reviews? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Rider Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 Just other forums really. I did want that one but just put of buy the reviews really. Does the app work well ? Don't you have to pay a subscription For it. Also can you use the digi SMS add on ? Why do you think it's better just like to here your views Many thanks Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simlec Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 The app works very well, especially the GPRS module with the cloud sim card. The subscription is only £46 per year which a no brainer as there are no call changes and the like. The GSM sim module will not work on the app panels as it needed to be the GPRS module I believe but would have to check. "Why I think its better or one of the best" Having used all but two of the manufactures apps (& equipment) out there I'm an easy man to please in that if its basic and works without spending hours setting up its got my vote. I dont want to install equipment at a customers and then be on call 24/7 because the app's not working. The "current" Pyronix equipment and customers app is basic set/unset and activate some outputs, that's it and that's all you need from an alarm app in my opinion.

Mark Rider Posted March 25, 2017 Author Share Posted March 25, 2017 Great thanks that's really helpful. I other thing i take it the app can tell you if alarm has gone off ? So it has a gprs module rather than a lan or WiFi . Thought it would work of that for the app over internet ?. Thanks again Mark Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lwillis Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Better of with the LAN module IMO. pstn module isn't compatible with the app panels and the wifi module isn't either due to the metal panel- they were on about releasing a wifi aerial but not sure if it's out yet.

Mark Rider Posted March 25, 2017 Author Share Posted March 25, 2017 Ar ok so a lan module is just full internet the gprs is done via a SIM card . Suppose gprs is good if internet or power has gone down . Ok great stuff thanks swaying towards the app panel rather than standard 46sm Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Rider Posted March 27, 2017 Author Share Posted March 27, 2017 So the LAN module will only send push notifications to the app it won't send text message to the phone .? Push notifications are that reliable so may stick to GPRS. But can't find anywhere that sells the module, lots selling the panel but not the module Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amps Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 A question about the App and notifications. When the alarm is triggered and you get the "you have an alarm" notification for 20 seconds or so, is there a way to make the notification repeat itself? It is a bit poor if you do not hear the "you have an alarm" the first time around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its only the same as you missing the telephone call from the alarm receiving center yes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Rider Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 So the app version is that good. Better of have the normal euro 46 and a text message . ? I'm really undecided on what one to get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al-yeti Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Cost for SMS? Need contract sim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Rider Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 I feel that the SMS is more reliable than the app for notifications. You can get plenty of cheap SIM cards now days . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al-yeti Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Well WiFi can be good depending on router type but consider this as an example , you could go quantam70 with a gprs card yes you have a contract but interns of network coverage it's better and you can use it via an app , the contract meaning for the securcom not necessarily a maintenance contract Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petrolhead Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 App bersion will sms as well as push notification if it has a digi gprs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Rider Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 Ar ok so the app to work dont need WiFi or LAN can run off the GPRS as well ? You get full use of app with GPRS ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
