Sounds like a nice job to swap out with new controls and a smart PSU, split that detection the best way possible. You'd have a good base to start from then, with no weird 30 year old software glitches or NVM memory loss issues. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all seriousness i'll likely wait until it gets more frequent then replace it with some fancy new stuff Going to be some good fun working out how to split the detection circuits haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All panels have quicksets for full and part settings, you can have a smart-phone ap that not only lets you know when its activated it lets you know when your keyholder has disarmed it, you can also arm disarm it from your phone, and control other wireless output such as your gates.

See the thing is i just want a well equipped high quality panel without the smart integration I'm far from a wireless fan, but if i have no choice then i suppose i'll have to live with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
