Alse re wedge etc there are thousands of window profile so it's either additional rf sensors or wired. As above I'd use a flush contact(s) but ob my own windows I only use the shock element You don't use magnets ??? or no lunatic kids like mine who leave windows open day and night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 I don't, but I will put them on when I upgrade the heating to room thermostats. I'm currently only using trv and the alarm to set the heating mode, ie comfort(disarmed) , night (part set) or economy (armed) I will shut off rads based on window and door contacts Quote securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

EDinMK Posted December 2, 2019 Author Share Posted December 2, 2019 Well I have deceided to flog on this Yale Kit IA220, thanks to being misadvised several months ago I have ended up with a load of accessories that should work but dont they are for Easyfit system ...still 866 but not compatible ... anyway I am going to flog it all on ebay and get a decent one I initially looked at Pyronix and Texecom I am pretty sure the Texecom system would work out cheaper ...perhaps. what do you guys think I need a system that ** Comes with Wired Bellbox (the only wired kit i need) ** Comes Wireless Panic Button **Comes with a dialer or some way of notification then the standard kit i need is 5 x Wireless PIR 4 x Wireless Contacts Any Suggestions for me welcomed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixwheeledbeast Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Well all the Texecom Premier stuff is hybrid so supports wired and wireless anything, if that helps. I would have thought Pyronix would be cheaper but I suppose it's depends if you get what you want from a Texe kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDinMK Posted December 2, 2019 Author Share Posted December 2, 2019 Well i might be If you know where to go I was thinking this kit here Texecom Ricochet Kit 2 32 Zone Wireless Kit with Sounder adding 2 x Texecom Premier Compact Wireless Pet Detector [PW-W] 3 x Texecom GHA-0001 Micro Contact-W White 868Mhz 1 x Texecom Ricochet DP-W Personal Panic Attack button you are right it does start racking up I am hoping this kit will have an inbuild dialer or app or something for alerts ...not much info also confused about the sounder ...its Wireless although some sites suggest it can be wired by arsing about with a "22k resistor" or something Its never easy ! Would pyronix save me £££? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDinMK Posted December 2, 2019 Author Share Posted December 2, 2019 not sure what phones u have Norman ...but I am 52 not into these smart jobbies ...just get a nice cheapy that wont break my heart if i drop it off a ladder ! So you think the above is "ok" on price ? or do u think i woul dbe better with a Pyronix ... not sure exactly how the alerts work on both of them ...doesnt look like the old "diallers" they used to have i am guessing? Also I dont want to be lumbered with a wireless box ...I looked about and someone said they do one that can be "wired" as a workaround why dont they bloody still STOCK wired boxes ..I mean how hard can it be to have some terminals Where this box is going i dont want to be arsing about ...I mean tamper wont be necessary as you would need to Spidermans climbing coach to get to it !

datadiffusion Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 On the average UK house (what is it, 250k now?) I have literally no idea why anyone would think anything under a grand was 'too dear'. As norm says, it's a fraction of the house value and peanuts compared to all the frivolous (and ironically desirable to burglar) stuff most people hapilly fritter their hard earned cash on. Most, not all, agreed, for various reasons.

The main thing I chose to protect is the family, having said that I guess the plus side of any break in would be the knowledge I'd saved a few hunred squid...

I mean if I am in bed and the dog starts barking I will reach around the back of the wardrobe and bring out my old 40" Katana ...I used to collect them So bearing in mind it will cut right through a frozen lamb leg ...its more to keep ME out of trouble as well as THEM !

sixwheeledbeast Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) Is a katana considered reasonable force now?... To stop this thread from straying of the topic any more ... either option will probably do the job you want. Engineers fit what they know to be reliable, everyone will recommend a different manufacturer so we cant choose one for you. Your alarm is an important purchase so cost should be a lower factor in your decision. You will pay more in the long run if it's unreliable. Good ratter?

datadiffusion Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 And, sadly, scum won't care if they injure or kill your dog either. Its not what they nick that is usually the most unplesant thing about a break-in, especially if you aren't in.
