Yep - I may end up with just the GSM unit for the basic control. You're right, quick scan of the Wintex manual suggests that it would do what I was suggesting, but I don't do Windows. Effectively what I am wanting is a NON-Windows version of wintex software with a web interface. Unless they...

In its simplest form, to be able to "read" the status of the alarm system, particularly the log remotely. Then if possible to be able to "set" the alarm remotely meaning like turn it off or on. I would hook up a Unix box such as a MacMini or Raspberry Pi to do the comms with the alarm and...

Thanks Hoover. I had quick look through the documentation and with your summary of the situation I agree that me spending much more time on this would be basically a waste of time. I am not that desperate right now to start reverse engineering IP messages and I guess if it becomes more urgent...

Hi Hoover, that was just an loose uniformed comment. My missus set me the task of interfacing to the unit so that I can create a web interface (with passwords of course) so that she can check the access log who's been in and out and when. Also maybe set the alarm remotely from her iPhone...

OK all! After some perseverance from a number of you helping me through it, I not only got rid of the Battery Fault but also managed to restore the Engineer Code to default. Thank you very much! No need to threaten Careguard with legal action and abuse any longer! I came across this in...

I am happy to report that at 22:00.34 last night the system cleared the Battery Fault. Thank you for your collective advice! I now start my crusade to get my own engineering code off the original installer. Ultimately I feel as they are not contractually engaged in maintaing my system (and...

Thanks for the prompt response. Unfortunately pressing Reset twice after logging on as master did NOT reset the Battery Fault flashing up. I don't have a problem with defaulting the system but presumably they can prevent that from resetting the codes to 1234 anyway. I suppose I have 2...

After 6 years since new the system (Premier 24) started reporting a battery fault. As per discussions on this forum I went for a new battery (same spec etc). Plugged it in but the panel still flashes up Battery Fault. Question is: will it reset after 24 hours (or whatever the test cycle is...
