Ahh cool - changed battery but does seemed to have resolved the problem. Still doesnt seem to trigger the alarm. Any advice on how i can check that the PA are paired correctly with the Galacy G2 system? The user reset issue is resolved now though - the wired PA hadnt reset propery. Had to open it up to reset it.

Hi, So ran my test and found one my wireless PA doesnt seem to work. Looks like it could be the battery but not sure how to get into any ideas? Pic attached. I also tested my wired PA and that works fine - used a key to reset it. Now when trying to activate alarm i am getting "user reset" required. I enter my code and view the log entry but this doesnt seem to get rid of the message. Any ideas? ,

Hahaha - will do it tom in the day and quickly reset it.

Hi, if I do get the g2 upgraded. There is another panel/module I think which used for my wireless PIRs does that need upgrading too? Or is that just a wireless hardware and the main panel is where all the main software is.

Hi, I have an ADT alarm which is a galaxy g2. I want to test the panic alarm. How do I go about doing this? I can see where I can do a waking test to check the sensors all work. Where can it put it in a mode to test the panic alarm?

Thanks! I was putting the screw in the bottom!

Hi, It is a galaxy G2 alarm. I enter the engineering code and then press esc. It then does a tampers check and then says "lid" ,

Hi, The firmware is at 1.42 for my system so it needs upgrading right? (GalaxyGuy - thanks for the PM, probably continue on the forum for now as this convo could be helpful for someone at somepoint). ,

Hi, I have taken the cover off the panel for my ADT alarm. I put it in engineering mode first. Now I put the cover back on and it says tampers lid. It wont come out of engineering mode. Is there something i need to do to the lid to get re-set the tamper? ,

Hi, sure, so the only option i have for remote access is 1. using the Ethernet card designed with the selfmon tool 2. replace the alarm panel with a flex one (if i was to stay with honeywell products) apologies, if it sounds like if i am asking the same questions, just want to make sure i understand. With regard to the firmware upgrade "flash lead, firmware binary and Honeywell flash utility." Is this something i need to call an engineer out to do? Prefer not to as I am trying to manage the alarm myself now...but doesnt look like i can get the firrmware? ,

Hi, Just to clarify the following card is not compatabile with my panel? https://www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/honeywell-ethernet-module-ib-p-3643.html I am just wondering if there is an ethernet card which will allow me to use both selfmon/Honeywell app? A separate question - if i need to upgrade my system as I am on version 1.42. Where would I get the software from? Looks like i have to be a dealer to get the software... ,

Hi, Thanks all for your comments. Pyronix Enforcer - looks good but means taking out my panel / keypads and rather not as its already in and working fine. no issues. GSM Dialler - sounds good too. I actually already have a dialler installed, SD2 dialler but thats to dial out when the alarm is triggered. Could this be used? More I have looked into this the more the option of the just adding an ethernet module looks like the best option. Not much change to the setup and I will be able to remotely access it -disarm/arm if needed. I will have IP cameras around the house to check the house if the alarm is triggered. Questions on the SelfMon app: - What support is available for any issues? Cant see an email address or phone number on the site? - The network card which needs to be purchased for the usage of the selfmon app - is a standard network card flashed with software for usage with selfmon? - Can the selfmon app functionality be used on the internet i.e. via a web browser - Are there charges to use the app if not used for monitoring? That is, if I just wanted to the galaxy keypad when i wanted to is there a charge? As I dont see any upfront download charges? Questions or views using Honeywell Ethernet module Honeywell Ethernet Module IB - this ethernet module by honeywell could be used with the panel have i think. Is that correct? - advantages is that i would be hardware which is from the same manufacturer which everything else has been built with - Can i use the selfmon app via with this too if needed? ,

I don't have any electrician knowledge - though a bit of techy from a computer side. Will I just need to plug in the network card into the existing panel? The IP address would be assigned by my router. I can then connect to the panel via the app is that correct? Or is it more complicated than that?

I have the engineering code Does the network card just fit onto the existing panel? Is there any instructions?

Is the network card something I could fit myself?
