So I tried this initially (although didn't check resistance) but it didn't register as closed. The app still showed the contact as red However sparkymarka sent me a couple of contacts So the new sensor worked with the old magnet (and of course new sensor worked with a new magnet)

Sorry I should've said, back door is the issue (the first reading) The front door I've only done for comparison!

It stays the same - 6.850k However front door closed is - 2.18k and open - 6.850k

Completely agree! (That's why I asked for things I could research rather than telling me what to do) I come across the same hazards in IT Support! Can easily break things if they're done without understanding. But thanks - I'll see what's out there.

Of course when I go to use the multimeter (it's normally used twice a year) I've left it in the on position and the battery is flat. And of course I don't have any spare or rechargeable 9Vs in the house. Brilliant. I have checked in Engineer Utils and it does show as Active though

Right - all done. Panel: Elite 48 V6.03.02 LS1 SmartCom: V04.04.00 I did get a warning about putting the system on test (not applicable to me) and disabling sounders. I did find one of your previous posts about someone changing batteries in their bell box so followed hold off instructions...

Good shout. I've got one and just stuck it right next to it. On a bit of side note, I did actually run a couple of CAT6 cables to where the panel is and just never connected it up yet (not sorted out switch yet). Just case of plug and play, with the SmartCom?

This has helped a lot - thanks. So I've managed to sign up for a Cloud Account and did actually have a search on the Texecom Forums. One of their staff advised it's fine for DIYers - just fill out any mandatory company fields with a "0" I've linked my system successfully and I've paid £7 for a...

I have a multimeter but not sure how I would check all is OK, are you able to explain? With the contact both in and out of the door (I thought if I take both sides out and hold together it should simulate the door being closed - but no joy. I have tried eBay but may need to try harder...

Hi all, As a precursor, I've worked in IT Support years but never touched alarm systems so all completely new to me. Getting information on "how-to" seems a bit tricky as lot seems to locked behind trade account/access. We had a new Texecom Premier Elite 48 system installed in 2021 but the...
