the galaxy and vista are 2 completly different products. The galaxy was deveopled in scotland long before ademco purchased microtech and long before honeywell purchased ademco. The vista was developed in the US it doesnt. It connects to the same inputs but wont work on a galaxy. You could use this board from the galaxy using links (menu option) relays and outputs. But not directly to the eol wiring. If using this board via links you could use the rf detectors too, but im fairly sure the rf does not do status in the unset state. Galaxy guy (member) is developing something for this but id look at what you actually need re status, circuit activity, remote control etc from the HA system.

The maint visit is one thing, seperate charge if need be, the telephone and on site support is different. Most if not all alarm Co's charge for a combined visit and support. If need be seperate the 2.if you called your it support due to a problem with no support contract it would be a very short call

sia one had a 'your alarm is having issues our we called electrician cant fix it' one today. Told we are only supporting customers with active support contracts at this time. But ive been a customer for years, installed in 93 never serviced, never had a support contract. In my eyes not a 'customer'. Its a 1600 with a system voltage problem. Im not suprised

you not the first and wont be the last dont worry glad your sorted qfa few do

as above its knocking on mid 90s

im sure many maintainers have calls for the same when its battery powered stand alone devices, smoke alarms, alarm clocks in draws, heating systems. I even had a call to 'music coming from all rooms with a pir' turned out it was her birthday and she was walking round with a singing birthday card

id go with the above, the intruder alarm is always first suspect but often isnt

im not so sure, id say diallers will mostly still function, digi's im less sure about. But imho we shouldnt be using old tech for alarm signalling. id expect a shift to single path sim / dualpath bb and sim for everything going forward. I dont use the built in pstn on my hkc at home etc

On a serious note I assumed diallers would be immune from IP core changes, it appears they may not be

id also check its *

clearing the call down id say

i recall this happing many years ago with orange. when you switched phones did you switch networks?

many years ago we organised a tsi meet up but it wasnt something the members wanted iirc

id say the 'average' doesnt go that deep. If installing product from the same manufacturer etc then it will work as the testing etc has already been done. Where the good guys do well is knowing how to make x work with y. However most customers dont check on ability or dare I say care.

Yes I've archived the really old stuff

All good then

you will be able to do most things you should be able to do that, you will get tampers etc but you can silence with the user code.

What's the difference between a wooden socket and mounting it to a wooden surface? I'd be more concerned about the 2nd hand, bin found etc stuff connected to a socket in a shipping container

id say the lightwave option is cheap its a 1 way tech that is horrible to keep reliable. But are you looking at £15 and a plug in device or are you looking to do it properly?

unfortunately your only choice in prosumer world is texecom with their sockets however this might be your issue what is too expensive?

you could use these for straight switches https://sonoff.tech/product/wifi-diy-smart-switches/sonoff-mini but id change them into their other mode to keep privacy etc look into home assistant to do it all yourself

The 3-2-1 backup strategy simply states that you should have 3 copies of your data (your production data and 2 backup copies) on two different media (disk and tape) with one copy off-site for disaster recovery. granted tape isnt used much anymore but the principle remains, 3 copies of data 2 backups and at least 1 off site

Dont know the unit but id try switching the holdoff. Im guessing its an scb by default?

backup left on site is one option, but its like sage, word etc its up to the client to backup unless they are paying for a managed backup solution off site etc. Also should the backup be encrypted if your taking it and its found inside the pc etc
