As I sad above, you have absolutely nothing to lose by defaulting your current panel, if it works yay, if not then boo.

 

Oh, and Texecom won't give a shite about your experience with an approved installer, I expect the approved list reads like a who's who of DIY alarms.

If you mean using the engineering menu on the keypad to revert to factory settings then yes, i've already tried this...

 

this is where the forum is useful - prior to this I would have assumed the list was 'vetted' in some way, sounds like any fool can get onto it

 

is there a list of 'TSI-approved' installers for the midlands?

TSI list is anyone who wants to be listed on it,

 

A better list to work from on - http://www.nsi.org.uk/ or https://ssaib.org/ 

 

however they'll want a margin on the gear, a mans wages & probably a maintenance contract too

In terms of a plan of the house it is as follows.....

 

A rough drawing would be a lot more useful, you know what they say, a picture etc...

with all due respect, this is the DIY forum and I was hoping for some constructive advice not just petty piss-taking and trolling.

 

 

I am sorry but you can't say 'with all due respect' then take that tone. All the advise you have got so far is spot on, there is plenty of piss taking and trolling on the forum but I don't see any going on in this thread, yet.

Please be aware most of the people that have responded to your thread have many years of experience, both within the industry and posting here to DIYers.

 

Your questions are currently a bit vague, hence why people are suggesting you find a proper installer.

Maybe if you break down what you need to know if you are certain on a DIY route.

 

Yes, if you wish to swap your panel for a Premier 24 that would be fine, but you may find the issue is not the panel.

If you wish to take on installing the COM modules to the Premier you will need good IT knowledge and be able to understand firewalls and port forwarding.

 

As I say there are plenty of threads within the DIY section that have had DIYer's asking for help with there installation over a period of months to get a partly working system.

They are worth a read, many questions have been answered time and time again.
