I need to do some work on our alarm which keeps going off at different zones, I think it is a wiring fault in a junction box as the wiring is messy due to more zones which I have added over the years.

I want to simplify the wiring and replace the Texacom panel. This is what I want to do ideally:-

1) Main control panel
2) 2 x PIRs (wired)
3) 1 x PIR on different zone (wireless)
4) 1 x door contact (wired)
5) 1 x door contact (wireless)
6) 3 x window contacts (wireless)
7) 1 x bell box (wired)

Have also thought about an auto dialler but not sure what the point is, if I get an SMS saying the alarm has gone off there is not much I can do if I am 200 miles away so unless this option is cheap I won't bother.

I have a budget of £250 for the parts to do this work, does such a hybrid wireless panel exist and is £250 enough?

Thanks

Texecom Premier is a hybrid.

You will need more money.

Also Honeywell Galaxy (more money)
Visonic More money but all wireless.
Cooper More money.

You could do it all wired for that though.
 
I could do it wired, just a lot of work tidying up the current mess of cables and finding some where suitable to put junctions (currently clipped onto skirton boards! not ideal).

However if it is a lot more than £250 I cannot justify it, so will have to wired.

Run new cable. It cannot be that hard to conceal.
Dont make more junctions, thats your issue now.

Seems a bit of a waste due to the layout using lots of different cables from the box, but I am sure I have about 30 meters of 6 core in my lock up so what the hell.

At the moment I have junctions going into junctions, should have just started from scratch when I replaced the box and added extra circuits ten years ago.

Just thought a wireless solution would be a lot neater, but it seems it will cost a lot more than I thought.
