Just found the new outfit rude and unhelpful. Always try to be polite and courteous , and expect same back. 54 minutes ago, MrHappy said: won't take any new ones on Interesting, thanks. We are considering binning the whole system and starting again, just reluctant to throw away the initial investment made. We almost have it working again, just need to replace a load of CR123 batteries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraftphone Posted July 9, 2023 Author Share Posted July 9, 2023 For anyone else's benefit , think we have the final answer to why the Configuration Software will not connect. Below from the Risco FAQ section. Seems if the panel is connected to the Risco cloud via the IP channel ( and our panel is, with valid subscription ), the the Configuration Software cannot connect to the panel. Sort of reluctant to test / confirm this by disconnecting the panel from the Risco Cloud in case Risco then say " you can't reconnect , you are an end user etc etc" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The control panels do odd things with age, defaulting & reprogramming can cure it (for a while) Alarm panels ain't consumer products, the manufactures are quite modest setups without the resources to support the end user, stuff like apps are under developed as they provide little or no income Alarm system aimed at the DIY market... lets say I'd rather have herpes than a Yale or ERA or whatever... alarm Quote Mr Veritas God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Local to me there's one on a "Jewellers", They must be uninsured as there will be a requirement to have a proper graded alarm holding a police URN to Intruder & Hold Up for the insurer to provide cover ? You needed graded equipment designed for the UK market, most the stuff the proper alarm co's use is sold to every tom, dick & harry... Having an expensive set of marples chisel dose'nt make any one a joiner 1 Quote Mr Veritas God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
