CPX didnt have any wireless detectors IIRC so they must be aftermarket with a receiver. The CPX has a built in Digi so is normally monitored. Strange combo monitored alarm with aftermarket wireless detectors.

Texecom is now installer registered for Smartcom app. V1 Smartcom app is no longer available for new installs.
As I said, I dont know the products that well, its unlikely the OP will find a decent brand with a non subscription ap. Though, I would not recommend a non subscription app either, the ones that were free were always going down and because they were not being charged for the manufacturers were in no hurry to fix them.

So any recommendations for Professional Wireless System that might be possible for DIY installation
Not that you can buy as DIY but there are a few people that recommend Texecom or Pyronix, I dont know these products well enough to recommend them but on paper they are far superior to the DIY tat

Unless it made for UK professional market.... It shite...
Yes unfortunately most of the wireless stuff on the DIY market is one way tat.

Not to mention that an encoder will cost more than a IP camera

Lcd fails on these panels frequently, they still make 4 wire keypads but if your keypads are 6 wire then its time to think about updating the system its close to 30 years old now and they stopped making the early ones well over ten years ago.
That said if you live in a house that needs four keypads then maybe you should consider having the system updated and under a service contract anyway. Im not saying you have anything worth stealing, or that you will be targeted, but the bigger the property the higher chance of non oppurtunist burglary.

Going by the above, it looks like there is no longer any 9V battery interconnected hardwired systems anymore, pity.
So its either wi-fi or hardwired 240V systems or stuff this new law. I will leave it at that thanks,
good luck

They will never be able to police this. Will only come about when you try sell your house surely?
That's what I said, but house sales would be a problem, and if there is a fatal fire someone will be prosecuted, just like in the uk

Its very unlikely that they poll each other, what could be gained by this? Its different if they were polling a control panel as the control panel would tell you a detector had failed to poll. But there is just nothing to be gained polling between detectors on their own.

Hello PeterJames, can you give me a website link that shows me and particularly my wife, that the wireless smoke detectors do not transmit all the time and instead only transmit wireless when activated. This would help alleviate my wife's worry about wireless transmitting all the time in a room.
Hi Colin
I doubt any of the manufacturers would actually state that they dont transmit all the time anywhere on the paperwork. Between me and you, its sort of obvious this is how they work
. If they transmitted all the time they would be telling one and other to sound all the time.
Think about this logically if you want a light to come on in your house you have to switch a switch. The smoke detectors work the same way, if they want to tell the other smoke detector to sound they transmit a signal. If they worked the other way around it would be a waste of power, and if you had more than two detectors it would never work as the ones not triggered by smoke would still be constantly transmitting
So in basic terms: These type of detectors are activated either by smoke or by a wireless signal from another detector. For example if smoke is detected in the hallway, the smoke detector in the hallway sounds and at the same time tells all the other detectors in the house by transmitting a signal this tells the other detectors to sound.
All the smoke detectors are waiting to recieve a signal all the time, albeit wireless or smoke, but receiving is not the same as transmitting in the same way that listening is not the same as shouting
I hope this helps

Most industry databases have this, we can switch engineers on and off on the app so they only have customer info when we allow it. We use CASH but AlarmMaster and WIN-Whatever its called, both have apps.

It's a start though , so in Scotland you can get fined before something happens , otherwise England? Generally nothing happens until something happens , then they check what was and wasn't done
As I said I dont think Scotland will be able to Police it and so it will be pretty much the same as the UK, ie a fatal fire is investigated and its found that the homeowner did not have interlinked smoke detectors. Mind you if the fatality is the homeowner the gov cant exactly fine them

You got a link to the new law?
https://www.gov.scot/news/changes-to-fire-safety-laws/ Basically BS5839 Part 6 LD which is installed into new builds and anything that requires building control. New Scottish law says that has to be installed into all existing buildings. Feck knows how they think they are going to Police that though.
Colin I do understand that you wife doesnt like the idea of wireless, there are several theories that wireless is the root of all evil. However, the wireless smoke detectors are not transmitting wireless signals all the time, they only transmit when they are activated. So in other words when you have a fire in the hallway it transmits to the landing so both detectors activate. When there are no fires there is no wireless signal so nothing to worry about, I hope this helps

The sites where we have Paxton are Mifare, I hadnt realised they were multi format as standard on the other readers. I thought that was an option
