As per header! :-)

I see there are several versions of the ethernet module floating about for the Honeywell panels. I have a Flex FX020 panel and the product code I can see inside the panel is C003-M-E2 v1.15 I simply want to use the GX app on my Android phone to be able to set, unset and reset the alarm remotely and also be able to enter the Engineer menus (I hold the engineer code as well as one of the user codes) IN a related question am I right in thinking that the wired RIO when used on a FX 020 has to use code 2 on the RS485 bus, my 1st and 2nd keypads currently use code 0 and 1 respectively. I should thus be able to add a 3rd keypad set to code 3? The code table in the installation manual appears to be missing a dash as it says 03 rather than 0-3 for the FX020 panel.

As per our telephone conversation this morning, I can confirm payment has been received and your order is now being processed. We have been experiencing a technical error with BT, which has affected all our systems and our apologies you were not able to get in touch. This issue has now been resolved, so if you need to get back in touch all systems are now working correctly.

Your phone's don't work, your emails get returned, you have a load of my money

No any SAB module will need 3 wires to function 4 to comply. I dont know what you mean by

Can the SDR-WEXT-00 Siren work with just using 2 wires and not use the back-up batteries? Is it possible to replace the replace the KP01 by a single hidden switch?

No the premier is a different keypad you will need an excel keypad

Hi there, I am looking at the FI/CQR983-CO/12 I can see that it is now EOL, would you have an alternative product?

I have an Excel box with a standard LCD keypad which all works fine. I want to add a second keypad and it’s from the Premier range (with key fob) but I can’t find anything that says it’s compatible . It uses the same four connections but has additional connections for two zones too. Does anybody know if the Premier keypad is compatible with the Excel box

Another project. Id assume the protocol for scantronic panels would be similar

Yeah, I've seen his work, I believe it's a different device, and I have got further in to the protocol than he did. Thanks for commenting though!

Imsorry ive never attempted anything like that. This project may help 2 Bus interface (line driver) hardware · AndySymons/KELLY-Scantronic-994x-Keypad Wiki · GitHub

A bit of a long reach this one, but I'm trying to 'emulate' a keypad for a Scantronic 8136 panel. I've got as far as identifying it using a 150bit protocol of what seems to be long and short pulses on the signal wire done through releasing the signal wire from ground and letting the panel pull it back up to +14v for a period of time 150 times synchronised by a clock. I'm hoping to build on this so that I can control my antique alarm system from my phone! Anyone have any further information on how this works, as my attempts to play back the pulses (I think) I've copied are ignored by the panel, so I'm missing something!

Ok id assume thats a power issue or cabling. Would need more info though

I have no voltage on my PIR

This will convert the detectors single NC relay contacts to 2 sets of Form C relay connections. If tamper is required that can be wired the same or just use the tamper on the alarm panel

Yes you can do this with something like Pyronix Standalone Receiver Enforcer Series Two-Way Radio [UR2-WE] - £59.06 : , Best Price Promise But id strongly recommend upgrading the control panel to a Hybrid unit to pick up the existing hard wired detectors and add your rf one

Hello I'm hoping for some advice if the following is possible and if so, which products are suitable. I have an old Optima XM system with hardwired contacts for the Front Door Zone. I am trying to understand if there is a suitable product that allows me to change the hardwired door contact to a wireless battery operated contact. Is there a wireless converter I can instal next to the control box that can take the wireless signal from the contact and convert to a hardwired connection between the wireless converter and the relevant zone contacts in the Optima controller. If so, are there any suggestions of products for the converter and/or door contact. Thanks for any advice in advance.

A lot of gear does does do that like the versigo sentry

Hi everyone, I’ve been working on people counting solutions that work with most standard IP/CCTV cameras, especially for retail stores, malls, and public venues. It’s been really interesting to see how different camera placements, resolutions, and lighting conditions affect accuracy. I’ve found that keeping the camera high and angled downwards usually gives the most reliable counts, and anonymizing the footage is a must for privacy compliance. I’d love to hear how others here handle similar analytics projects. Have any of you worked on footfall or people counting setups before? Any tips or pitfalls to share? Thanks!

Awesome! - All sorted now - many thanks

The cp8l had 8 zones and lcd keypad. Assuming you dont want apps etc then Eaton Wired Intruder Alarm Panel Kit [I-ON10-K] - £89.38 : , Best Price Promise

Hi, hopefully you can help me my Eurosec cp8l has stopped working after several years. I need to get a replacement if possible I would appreciate it if you have any suggestions for me to swop over to a new alarm thanks.
