timmo66 Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 What was the outcome sparky? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkyUK Posted April 26, 2015 Author Share Posted April 26, 2015 Outcome is one highly miffed customer. As instructed, I had to remove the perfectly working new panel. Thankfully I had pushed the existing pir cables back into the ceiling and covered by the new pir, I was able to use some thin pliers to pull the cables back into play. Re-wired, re-zoned and commissioned. She was happier than when we'd shown her the new system, but I soon wiped that smile off her face when she saw the bill. She was somewhat annoyed with me because I had the audacity to charge her for the time I spent installing and commissioning of the new one, and then the old one again. Needless to say, there's now a marker on that customer and we will not be returning. Got her to sign a form stating we are not providing any form of warranty on the old kit we have had to replace which added to the already impressive bulldog-chewing-a-wasp face that she'd been pulling. The new system has been re-coded this afternoon, and is out to a new customer tomorrow. Thanks again, to everyone here for the assistance in getting my head round the learning/mesh networking.

SparkyUK Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 Yes, not bad. Just a dent in reputation I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datadiffusion Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Sort of, is she likely going to tell anyone you'd want to work for though? Quote So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkyUK Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 Hopefully not, but word of mouth has been a good lead for some time now. We typically avoid home installs usually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
