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...

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...
