There are several alarm companies that offer automation and security. It all depends on your budget really. Many alarm manufacturers are playing catchup, but they do have to jump through several more hops than the DIY market. Many like Risco and Pyronix try to market to both trade and DIY and to some degrees they do hit that market. Personally I have a separate home automation system to my security, but I have some integration. The intruder controls my house lights, my CCTV controls my external lights, my home automation can arm the alarm but it cannot disarm the alarm. Anything that can be hacked should not be able to disarm your alarm.

Because your now just a public member, and we have to pay for the comfy seats in the mod lounge

I would guess that wire was unused then

Normans were French? and thats a horny hat not a horn one

I dont think you will find any vikings called Roger, they will have names like Harald, Svend and Knud

Cus it keeps his mum on her toes when she's cooking his nuggets and chips

Only one previous owner

There are probably many wires that are not used inside a control panel do a bell test if it works then its not a bell wire. Then set it if it sets then its likely not a wire in use

Its most likely a short between tamper and circuit, are there any spare cores on the cable?

Bizzarly I thought of that when his name popped up the other day its funny what you remember about people QFA

Funny reading the first post I was thinking exactly the same as all the replies. Now I am thinking I was probably wrong, judging by what everyone else has said

Is it wired across the lock feed for sure, did you check? I am not familiar with the ATS systems, but most access control panels have a RTE input. Normally the symptom you describe is because the RTE is wired into the controller as normally closed when it should be normally open or vice versa.

I dunno, he had a picture taken of his pipe bender in a church

If the engineer defaulted the panel then the engineer code was not locked? If it had been locked he would not have been able to default it. I am guessing what happened was that the engineer defaulted the engineer code and the user code. The user just needs to change the code back to whatever they were using before

£800.00 doesnt seem that unreasonable but I think I would want an original machine. I look after the Smart family in Sussex they have a few arcades around these parts I may ask them what they have in their stores, I know they do have the odd one or two machines.

Hi and welcome,

can you not power that one locally ?

Ive got one of them, all he does is eat sleep and woof at cats, he cant even make a cup of tea lazy bastard, I wont get another one

That makes more sense

It wont take long for someone to work out what that big light on the front of your house means, and the one time you go out without arming your alarm that will be it. Although its a DIY system having an indication outside the property that informs that the system is set is against the BS

He probably didn't charge you enough

There are people on here who work or worked for ADT they will be able to let you know if its possible. If they dont do it then they are missing a trick

Have you asked them?

If the door is open when you try to set it the keypad will tell you its open

Just cancel the monitoring and keep the contract then
