After some advice please. Our house used to be a HMO, hence there was once a full fire alarm installed, most of it is still installed/working except for 3 heat sensors (long story but I've found the cables in the ceiling to get them all working again).
Can anyone direct me to a simple system I can use to update it (currently on one zone but i was thinking of addressable maybe?) also what sensors are best in each type of room (Living room has a multifuel log burner so thinking heat only for heat instead of smoke). Are dual heat/smoke the best for least false alarms/burnt toast issues?
The circuit has the sounders (2 in total) wired on their own circuit in fire proof cable, the bad side is all the sensors are wired in normal twin and earth (apparently against current regs from something I've read but we're doing this in a house which doesn't need it anyway so above and beyond). Neither wire run loops back to the current base unit either, they are both EOL resistor in final unit.
