    Texecom Premier Elite Questions

    By the way, I choose only to get messages on certain limited events. You can configure the system to notify you of pretty much anything, including set and unset, faults, alarms, and so on.

    Texecom Premier Elite Questions

    No, not monitored other than by the SMS messages I receive if it were to be triggered (it has been twice by the wife and kids being a bit keen). It hasn't gone off while we were out/away. Siren time is configurable from 2 to 15 minutes. The default is 4 minutes, so you're not going to annoy...

    Texecom Premier Elite Questions

    With hindsight, I'm happy with the Enforcer. Had I fully understood the SMS limitations up front I would probably have bought the Texecom, but I think I would have bought functionality that in truth I would have rarely needed or used. Or, put another way, I haven't missed being able to...

    Texecom Premier Elite Questions

    I went with the Pyronix Enforcer 32 GSM Kit and added a wired deltabell instead of the wireless bell. It has been totally reliable with the ironic exception of a fault last night at 12.15am - the GSM modem lost the line and set off the internal fault sounders. I don't think this was a fault...

    Moving a door in a single-skin brick wall

    I have a single-skinned, single-story, flat-roofed brick garage where I would like to move the side door about 18 inches to one side (two bricks). The wall with the door is parallel to the roof joists. My assumption is that the existing door would be removed, bricks cut/knocked out of one...

    Alarm Advice.

    The Pyronix Enforcer has a very handy feature in the Engineers menu that lets you perform two-way signal strength tests to all wireless units. Can also do battery checks on wireless units as well. I'm guessing that other pro-grade kit has the same functionality The Enforcer may not be...

    Alarm Advice.

    As I've very recently learnt, the current version of the Pyronix Enforcer does not have remote log in or control via a mobile phone. It looks like they're working on that feature - search for Pyronix Cloud. It won't do either of your nice-to-haves either. Other than that, great kit - very...

    Controlling Pyronix Enforcer via SMS

    Yeah, already gave the Android app a shot. It's actually only available on the US Google App Store so I had a friend try it for me - it still relies on SMS and doesn't give any clues about the setup of the panel. Strange that Pyronix give the export kit this functionality, but not the UK -...

    Controlling Pyronix Enforcer via SMS

    I think I worked out where I got my information from, and it seems like I may not be completely wrong (or have been a bit misled by marketing). The UK version of the DigiGSM product leaflet says this: The product leaflet has a FAQ that includes this: If anyone has got this to work I would...

    Controlling Pyronix Enforcer via SMS

    Take a look at page 9 of the Enforcer export user manual. I'm starting to think that I saw this while researching my options and got the idea that this functionality was in the UK version as well (or I just missed that there were two versions). Oh well, if that is the case hopefully the...

    Controlling Pyronix Enforcer via SMS

    I'm sure it works with some version of the Enforcer - it's certainly in the manuals. Right now I'm not so sure if it works with the UK version... Not sure what to do next - I don't think Pyronix like to talk to DIYers.

    Controlling Pyronix Enforcer via SMS

    Took the SIM out and put it in a phone - works fine. Put it back in the Enforcer and the system can still send messages on arm/disarm/tamper/etc. but nothing happens if I send messages to it. Has anyone got this working?

    Controlling Pyronix Enforcer via SMS

    Correct, it's an Enforcer. I also noticed that the DigiGSM is apparently supposed to forward all inbound SMS messages (although presumably not control messages) to the primary number in the phone book and this isn't working either - I sent a couple of messages from another phone and they...

    Help me choose an alarm system!

    To close the loop on this, I went for the Pyronix Enforcer GSM Kit. I also went for a hard-wired sounder as the cable from the panel to the loft was easy to run. The updated version of the manual I received with my kit says that hard-wired sounders must be in SCB mode, except if the sounder...

    Controlling Pyronix Enforcer via SMS

    I have my Pyronix Enforcer GSM Kit installed and am configuring it. I have configured the GSM with my mobile number and have confirmed that the panel sends text messages out - I opened the case and received the tamper alarm via SMS. However, I cannot get it to respond to messages I'm...
