We currently have a Karisma Plus wired system installed. There are 9 zones. It is getting creaky, I have repaired it several times, time for a change.

Our Ancient house is not good for wifi, so I want to stick with a wired system for reliability, using existing wires as these are hidden.

The Karisma uses a 3 wire id device, which made wiring and set up easy. Is there an equivalent today? Or what do you recommend?

Integrating fire detection / alarm would be useful.

Unfortunately Id is the bus system your panel uses is obsolete. If your a pro installer hkc make a bus system compatible with your wiring. If you have all 9 devices daisy chained then you can't use an eol type panel but if you have 8 core you can run 3 powered devices on each cable. Depends on the wiring

Hi,

 

You can use Texecom Premier Elite with with Premiers Elite 60iXD expander. It's fully compatible with ID bus.

You can but iirc the Id expander is no longer in production.
