So in this new place we bought, there is a strange piece of electrics in the hall stairway.
At the top of the stairs we have this switch socket with an led, the fuse is removed and the led doesn’t appear to come on if I flip the switch.
A cable runs from this behind some trunking down the straight set stairs to the ground floor and disappears under the floorboards
Excuse the boggin skirting boards, these are about to be stripped off along with the wood chip.
I’ve no idea what this is for, it doesn’t seem to operate anything in the house and I assumed it was part of an old defunct alarm system which was installed when we bought the place but then it doesn't seem connected to the system.
The gubbins for that beast live under the staircase. I’ve deactivated it and removed the battery and fuse. I still need to strip out a load of cables from it and remove the box .... I’ll add a photo of that stuff for info just in case it’s relevant.
That grey cable from the alarm fuse box seems to re-emerge in the corner at the foot of the stairs and heads up through the ceiling/floor to the loft space. I always assumed this was the cable for the external alarm bell.
Anyway, any help is much appreciated.
