@sparkymarka Would I be able to set it up to use an app to control it without having to use the maker's cloud facility?

Hi everyone. Still haven't solved this conundrum and TBQH put off making a decision. But it now needs sorting. I'd like to put a new box in which I can access via my mobile to deal with any activations and if necessary reset it away from home. I will stick with the current hardwire sensors...

I'm sorry to that the problem with the hot water coming through when the shower is off is happening again. In fact the shower came on of its own accord during the night. We've tried taking it out and replacing it again but it without success. The hot water is running regardless as to whether...

OK great, glad to know, again, many thanks.

Hi Steve Thanks for that. Took it apart again and indeed the washer had come adrift. We re-seated it and put it all back together and it is working fine, except that you need to turn the knob anti-clockwise to turn it on and vice versa to off, which seems to me to be counter-intuitive. Is...

Hi everyone, had to replace the valve on the shower in my son’s house today. I’ve done it before on my own house and wasn’t expecting any issues. His heating system is a Potterton with a boiler with a pressure tank. I turned the water off at the mains, but also at the tap adjacent to the...

One of the PIRs is in the garage, which is part of the house.

5 PIRS and the front door. I'm thinking of adding 3 external cameras, 2 rear and 1 front probably separately but am open to advice.

I have a simple wired house alarm system, 5 PIRs and a front door. The box needs replacing as the key pad is failing. I'd like a straight replacement with wifi connectivity so that if it activates I can get a notification. What would you recommend please?

Thanks for that scott1980. The alarm system is quite simple, just 4 PIR and the front door, with the upstairs switched out overnight, so nothing complicated, and no additional wires or equipment required, using the existing location in downstairs hallway. It would be good though to be able to...

Hi everyone. I have a Scantronic 9448+ which is probably passed its sell by date. A couple of keys are getting very difficult to use. I've had the panel off and cleaned both the rubber buttons and the circuit board a couple of times over the past few years, but it has reached the point at...

I've checked for debris and cleaned the area up. How would I know if the water is too high just pumps? The valve does appear to shut off and I can't detect it opening slightly from time to time to top up.

I have a Gerberit Dual Flush (see image attached) which is running very slightly into the pan at all times. I have changed the bottom silicon washer for a new one, but it continues to run slightly. Is there anything I can check, perhaps on the siphon?

Thanks for helping out again, sparkymarka, new RKP arrived and installed, all working OK again. Much appreciated.

All sorted and all working now. Thanks once again to your extremely helpful replies, Alarm Engineer and sparkymarka, all much appreciated.

OK, I'll trace it through and see if I can sus it out.

OK it appears to be working, except that Zone 1, the former back door now PIR is showing a tamper fault. Is there something I need to do, e.g. altering a setting or putting in a short wire somewhere, so that the system knows there's no tamper on that zone now?

I've removed those connections so all should be good. Thanks for your input and support, very reassuring. Haven't done alarms for about 20 years, but it slowly comes back to you. On another note, can you connect these boards to the internet in any way? Could I replace it with an hybrid...

Thanks for replying Alarm Engineer! On going inside the box I see that whoever installed it only used 4 wire cable, so I will have to do without the tamper, not much of an issue really as all the wires are in the ceiling. The red wire from the tamper is connected to the outgoing black of the...

Hi everyone. I've had an extension built on the rear of my house and as a result the rear kitchen doors are no longer there. However I've extended the cable so as to provide the possibility of adding a PIR in the new room. Just remind me what do I need to do in the control box to make this...
