I have this panel on v3, with around 70 zones including 1 wireless expander. I've been using it with a ComIP and usb serial interfaces for Wintex and home automation. I'm changing to Homeassistant for my automation, so need to upgrade to use Smartcom and the new app. I have also bought a programmer interface.
Here's my plan, Is there anything I've missed?
1. Call Texecom to get the firmware, I can't seem to find it downloadable.
2. Backup panel settings using Wintex.
3. Install the new panel firmware using programmer.
3. Disconnect my serial ports and connect Smartcom to those panel ports. Leave ComIP in place.
3. Restore panel settings using Wintex via ComIP. Does Wintex need upgrading?
4. Upgrade Wireless expander firmware?
4. Connect up the networking through SmartCom and check connection through new App
5. Integrate with Home assistant.
Cheers.
