plastic_peanut thanks for suggesting the rod/coat hanger methods. I didn't think of them. I'm going to get rid of the ceiling light so I just need to pull the cable towards the wall. I'll try metal hanger tomorrow and would report back.

I hope someone can help me out. As you can see in the pictures, I've a ceiling light outside the main entrance of the house. I want to install a Ring floodlights camera and I want to use the wire which is powering up the ceiling light. I'd like to know what would be the best way of rerouting the...

Finally, the alarm is fixed! The issue was one of the door sensor wasn't working. Thanks for all your help secureiam.

I've just checked the date and time and they both are correct: Date is set to DD/MM/YYYY format with 25/02/2020 Time is set to EU 24 hour format and the correct time is being displayed 16:20 right now. What else could it be? Any suggestions?

Apologies for not replying for almost 4 weeks, just didn't get a chance to look at the Alarm panel. Currently, panel is alternating between 'NOT READY TRBL' AND 'NOT READY HH:MM'. I've got no idea how to work out what's causing this?

oldbuffer thanks for the useful suggestions. I think for now I'll go with your point number 5. The easiest to implement. Long run point 4 seems most likely.

In our main bathroom we've a shower which only has over head shower. With young kids we prefer handheld shower and I want to know what would be the simplest way of replacing this shower or adding a handheld shower to the current setup? Bathroom was done by the previous owner of the house so I...

A quick update, new PSU has brought the alarm back to life. I can't seem to reset the Event Logs I've got on it right now. Which means systems in trouble and it won't arm. I've looked through the user guide and the installer guide but nothing so far.

My understanding is Sky Q Mini remote controls would work with other mini remotes but not with the master Sky Q box which is bluetooth. However you can change this in the Settings. I'm not in front of one now but if you brown through the left hand column, you'll see Settings and there's a...

I have no idea how to test the PSU, would you be able to guide me please OR provide me a how-to guide? I'm confident its the PSU but before I order a replacement, it'll be good to confirm its definitely the PSU.

The reading I got on the multimeter from the power cable that's powering up the panel is 235.

Thanks once again secureiam. I've confirmed the fuse inside the plug is fine and its working. What else should I check/test? With my limited knowledge I'm certain its the power supply.There's a dark brown area around a chip as if its burnt. https://imgur.com/0xmttSn

Where would I find the fuses? Is there any online guide that can help me out? Thanks

Would it be worth replacing the power supply? https://www.hunters-wholesalers.co.uk/visonic-301720-spare-powermax-complete-powermaster-p-98433.html The panel started working when I had insert new batteries in it last week. I had even armed and disarmed the alarm. I'm guessing the batteries...

My bad I didn't explain my troubleshooting properly. I had an extension lead lying around. I took it apart and removed the electric cable from it. Then I disconnected and removed the power cable which was going into the panel and connected it with the extension lead and extension lead was...

Yes there's no power. Its actually plugged into a socker which is right next to it. I just did the following to figure out if the power supply could be the issue. Disconnected the wires from the panel's power supply and plugged them into an extension lead and the extenion lead was working. I...

Panel is not showing anything right now. Its probably because the batteries don't have enough power now to display anything. As the panel is located behind sofas I only see what's on it if I move the sofa. I've got the multimeter but won't know how to use it on the panel. Is there any useful...

I've got a Visonic Powermax Complete wireless alarm. I've had it for over 6 years and its been working without any issues. Couple of weeks ago it stopped responding to the remotes so I looked at the panel and it felt as if the panel was dead. Panel seemed as if it was dead but pressing any key...

We had bought kids a garden play house couple of years ago and I since then I never did anything with it. But it looks like it needs some TLC. I'm not sure what's the best course of action to prolong its life. I've attached the pictures, could someone suggest what do I need to do with it? For...

@endecotp - These plants would get plenty of sunlight past midday. @JohnD - The concrete base is almost a ft deep and I've no intentions of digging it! :-)
