Hi everyone,
I've had some experience with alarms, mostly Texecom and Pyronix, just done a couple wired installs here and there for mates.
In my Garage I have an older Castle/Pyronix Euro One panel, it's running software V6.051 with a few EOL zones. It was monitored over PSTN a couple years back but since been disconnected (switched alarm company after old castle iD panel in the house went kaput).
I want to setup SMS messaging over PSTN but I can't edit the setttings for the SMS TAP gateway. I only have the option of Vodafone, Orange, One2One and Cellnet(remember them!!). All of these TAP providers no longer run so the plan was to just put in the number for Open Telecom's 'OpenTAP' gateway. The alarm will let me choose the number for Fast, Contact ID or SIA but if I try and go into the 'SMS details' menu to change the gateway number it asks for 'manufacturer access' and prompts for a code. I tried the engineer code but it doesn't work.
I don't think Pyronix will take kindly to some random DIYer asking for this 'manufacturer access' code, so I'm wondering if anyone else would happen to know?
Alternatively I might get some sort of GSM based solution but not sure what to get, I think the CSL stuff is way out of my price range (the miniair is 260 quid which is more expensive than a brand new euro 46 panel and LAN card!). Anyone got any recommondations on some sort of basic bell trigger output SMS dialler?
Thanks
