Given your existing panel, I would recommend the 40H too, although I am obvioiusly slightly biased!

 

You can retain the non-EOL CC+T 4 wire config on the 40H by adding a plug in circuit board, if you need any more than 10 zones, you can add an expander,

these support 4 wire natively (as well as EOL).

 

There are many here though, myself included, to a point, that would never use the wireless capability of the ion though as it is 1 way only at this time.

 

The app for the ion is free with no connection or sub charges, which is nice, and it's a really easy to use & install panel.

 

FYI, I opted for the ION40H and am please with the product and functionality and always looking to incorporate additional features.

 

One thing that is bugging me is in the web client, the panel shows as 'Untitled' although on my app it shows as the reference I have given it; can anyone advise if the web client name can be changed/updated?

 

 

Many thanks.

Many reasons, I assume your considering it then? 

 

I am researching and reviewing the options available to me, hence the question.

Thanks for the feedback.

 

For any wireless device, it shall mainly relate to door contacts.

What panel are you replacing.  Can you please attach a picture 

 

 

The panel I have is a Scantronic 9800+ (16 zone) with a 9827 keypad.

[Replacing Home Alarm System]

I am looking to replace my existing wired home alarm system.

 

The existing wiring is fine and have PIRs in each room which I would like to re-utilise if possible; the wiring all goes back to a central point, but would also like to add additional components although due to required cable routes would prefer to do wirelessly and would therefore need a 'hybrid' system capable of accepting both wired and wireless components.

 

A wireless access panel would be preferable.

 

Other functionality that would also be preferable would be integration into other systems associated with home automation such as Google/Alexa, plus CCTV etc.

 

Are there any recommended modular systems that are capable of this?

 

Many thanks.
