Forgot to add that the HIU also has an actuator. A Honeywell M6410l2023. Not certain if that is used for heating or hot water, or both!

Hi, I'm after guidance on which smart thermostat will work with my district heating system. These are still not that common, so struggling to get a factual answer. My current system (photos attached): * 2 zone system, each with a programmable thermostat. One to bedrooms and another to living...

The tamper first began to trigger during the heatwave. My assumption was that plastic had began to warp but no obvious signs when I was up there this week. Where is the screw for sensing the device being pulled away from the wall so I can check that too. 4, probably 5 years since the siren was...

After some advice gents. My alarm panel keeps triggering for tamper on the sounder. It's been fine for years. I went up recently and replaced the battery (as this also recently began to warn). Battery warn for sounder is gone but tamper remains. I tried checking the pcb and housing was...

Yes, but that is not an installation decision. That is up to FAAC, which I'd hope they would know possible interference as a large manufacture! These are the fobs, well not the exact one, but mine are new out of the box. I put in new batteries, but will try new one again. Don't think that will...

Photo attached. Gates are brand new, as is everything else. You can see the receiver module; I've circled it in yellow. It has that small internal antenna. I tried a test, by running a length of cable (grey whitish cable in the photo), attached it to same input connection on the receiver...

I don't have an external aerial, and I did see that receiver you posted, so that was going to be the end solution, if I could make it all work with a length of wire. I want to first check there isn't something wrong with the control boards, which would be odd in two different units i..e two gates

Yes, they are brand new fobs and tried with replacement fobs too. yes, tried it outside the car standing about 5 meters from the box and still it did not work. I tried this on the inside of the wall i.e. line of sight with the box I'll see if I can do a test when I have some time free this...

I was going to try something like this, from the mainboard run to somewhere on top of the brick wall (I need to open the box but I do believe it has an aerial input on the mainboard) Not sure to be honest. German car. Does that mean I could have purchased an 868 control board? FAAC insisted...

We have electric gates, driven by FAAC control unit that uses remote key fobs to open the gates. The fobs are FAAC XT2 433 SLH LR. As the name suggests they operate on 433 MHz. However, the range is non-existent. Literally need to be next to the gate to open it. This does not seem correct...

We have the same problem. Even though ours was installed not long ago, on occasions I just have to wait for power to come back on before I can access the garage. Maybe there is override but company that installed were not the best for aftercare in the end. Ours is like this also, as on a few...

I'm inclined to agree, but I'm sure misses will not care about boring stuff like maintenance and future problems :p

I think wife has mind made up, and is getting new gates done too. A double swinging gate, and probably underground motor. Definitely no visible arms according to her. How does underground compare to a sliding motor? (if I could convince her to go for a single sliding door) So BFT and NICE I...

I didn't think about power failure, and what to do. Good to know, and I will find out about battery back up. cheers

Hi, If anyone is an installer of motoroised gates, or had them installed in a residential setting, could you give me advice? I am getting it all professionally installed, but have a few local companies and each is trying to sell me their kit, so any advice is useful to me right now. We have...

Thanks SecureIam. I had copied and pasted wrong model. Update to DS-2CD2347G1-LU for ColorVu, an IP variant. I am running new cat5 cables so ghosting/termination shouldn't be an issue hopefully if done right. The range looks impressive and there is a great review here I also sent to...

Cheers for the input. So I am impressed with ColorVu, and if it can give 'close-enough' to colour at night, then fantastic. However, my concern when watching some of the youtube images, was that it then produces poor image quality/ghosting whereas with standard IR/Darkfighter you get a crisp...

Hi, My proposed system for a house with large back garden, with plenty of dark spots. Have PIR flood lights but no constant light-sources yet at front or rear. My desire is to capture people coming through front drive (either side is bushes) but its a good 10 meters from front of house, and...
