Is that a hole in the floor?

I am guessing that this is an abandoned building, I am surprised that the power is on. Logan I am sure that you already know this but you really should not be on top of a lift messing around in an abandoned building. There are so many things that could go wrong, I really wouldnt want to see you get hurt ,or worse, like us get into trouble because we knew you were doing this stuff and didnt say anything

LOL!

Solway or somewhere or other I stayed, the seagulls were active and loud from around 05.00AM the whole place was like an episode from one foot in the grave

Thats the place Youll be saying that Bath is pronounced how its spelt next

Somewhere near the McVities factory, the town centre seemed to have more druggies and drinkers than average for my liking. Stayed in a village where the beach had a big factory (I say beach it was more like a big muddy river/harbour) and the houses and pubs looked a bit run down. While I was there I visited Edinborough (nice but set up for tourists) Lakes very nice, Hadrians Wall (not what I thought it would be) on the way home we did the Dales very nice

Ive been to Cumbria I dont think I would need to see it twice to know Where James is living is much nicer

Ive had a few minis including one with a 1360 engine that went like stink, they held the road like nothing else but I couldnt see how you would survive a proper accident in one

looking at the state of that keypad I dont think the plague would survive long in that environment

Call the number on the sticker and arrange for an engineer to come and fix it after youve finished painting

Also you should wait for the tester to cool between tests

Which model? Sounds like he got 6v and 12v confused

I do that

fixed

Are you saying you used Cat6 for the alarm cables?

Thanks Judge Judy

Or a readers digest suggestion

There isnt really anything as you describe but with app based alarm systems its not that hard to make something like that with a driod tab, I did this for my own use but I rarely use it for the alarm. The other problem with expensive keypads is that nobody wants to spend the extra money, especially if they are only likely to be burgled by opportunists . Many people like to keep things simple in most cases buttons are rarely used on a domestic alarm most would use a fob for arming and disarming, I do part set and quick set areas and theyre couple to buttons press. When my alarm goes off (Never happens) my smartphone tells me vocally what has activated I dont have to look at it unless I want to disarm it from my phone Much as I like the concept of a touchscreen keypad with a nice display, I use mine more to answer the door, look at the CCTV, control the heating, switch lights on and off, than I do to control the alarm. Oh and I would disagree about the dumb IP cameras AI is the new thing in CCTV

I know a girl who who conned £5 from readers wives, she wasnt married, just shows how good there vetting process is

Why are they in bedrooms?

Ive often sold it as an extra, when the customer already has a fire alarm

Ive ordered a couple of bilge pumps and a float switch

Looking at the Konnected diagram on that page its not talking in any format its just wired into the zones for inputs and the out puts for ....outputs Any panel will work with one of these. Assuming that your insurer is happy with DIY and that you dont need Police response, all you need is a hybrid panel with maybe a few additional outputs. The way you formed your original question sounded like you needed something totally different Monitoring in our world is sending signals to an alrm monitoring station to call the police, monitoring imn your world is adding a board that tells you your alrm system is working.

Ability to connect to Home Assistant, via Alarm Decoded or Envisalink boards In What format? External Keypads and Siren Nearly every alarm panel has this facility nowadays Ease of connection for central monitoring station such as AMCO (dual path for insurance) You dont want a basic panel I would prefer the option to also add additional sensors that I missed off via RF as well, even panic buttons etc if that's possible. You want hybrid All sensors are currently wired back to central location, windows, doors, pirs etc They all do that When I asked what do you want the panel to do I meant what are you wanting from home assistant IE the detectors in the rooms to talk to your hub and switch lights on and off, when you open a door for longer than 20 secs it switches the heating off. We need to know what format you need it to integrate SIA, 232, 485 or basic input outputs?

I am fairly certain that if the Fire alarm has to be monitored with brigade response it has to have its own monitoring in order to be fully compliant. If the fire alarm doesnt have to be monitored but you want brigade response thats a grey area. If it doesnt need to be monitored nor does it need brigade response (keyholder only) you can connect it to the intruder.
