I bet it's exactly that! Forgot that fact, and did vaguely remember that being the case too. With the Home Assistant being connected it'll be that for sure. If I can be bothered, I'll drop that connection and try again. Was only to get the ricochet stuff working, but don't need the computer for...

I kind of broke my Texecom install a while ago after an update (I even found a post I'd done about it here) think I fixed it way back when, and then just ignored it and the alarm fell out of use. I read somewhere recently that it's actually compatible with Home Assistant (HA), so yesterday...

Ah, the Ricochet software. I thought for a moment you mean the Ricochet firmware.

Wintex says the panel is currently at v4.02.01. I don't know if the Ricochet was flashed as part of the single flash I did? Yes when I deleted the devices (there's only 3 PIRs) I removed them completely so when I reprogrammed them they had the same numbers on the system. I've been attempting...

Thank you! "If the firmware is a Major Upgrade, say from V3.XX to V4.XX then panel defaults will need to be loaded. You MUST power down the control panel and perform a “Factory Reset” to ensure that all defaults are loaded correctly." You mean this line right? How do you perform a "Factory...

Yes and yes. To the first yes, I followed the instructions and did as they suggested, and to the second yes I have the latest Wintex. I figured out how to connect to the box through the network although no instructions seemed to exist for that - only that connections from Windows 7 and below...

Oooh, now you're asking. It's an external Ricochet.

I posted this on the Texecom forum yesterday, but I think they're all on holiday (or something). So I thought I would ask here. Beginning to wish I'd not bothered right now, but here's where I'm at. ComWIFI decided to give up on me so bought the Smartcom, Interface cable and flasher to...

Pretty sure that happens anyway when you disable auto-arming. They just need to press part and yes. It's not the end of the world for them. Ta.

Seems to give the same options to a keyfob as before. Under Area/Options Auto Part Arm is set to .. and I tried to set that to A I think and it made no odds. I'll find my glasses and the book and give it a scan. Thanks though.

That sir is close enough. Less for them to have to think about the better. I was considering flipping the part and full arm around, thus making the quick arm enable a part arm by default, but that's perhaps beyond my brain. Thanks again!

Just to resurrect this for one tiny question - if anyone can help. If @Alarm Engineer is about, then even better because I already owe him drinks. Having the key fobs for neighbours auto-setting a full alarm has been an issue a couple of times when the dog and cats are roaming the gaff - pet...

Yes, I should perhaps have made this clearer. From their website: We cover all of the mainland UK.

Oh wait, is this some kind of "haze the new guy" ritual?

I can't work out if you're joking or just one of those people who has to have the last word. Let me know. Meanwhile, my location is there, on the left (unless you're on a mobile device). Somerset.
