Hi,
As per the title we currently have an ADT monitored Alarm (installed 12 years ago) which we are planning to replace (no longer need monitoring, so cost not worthwhile). Same keypad as here:

From initial research Texicom Premier Elite seems like a decent option, particularly if we want online/app control.
Has anyone had any experience swapping an ADT alarm for the Premier Elite? I have previously installed an Accenta in my own home, so have some experience. And professional experience in software/hardware design means I'm not a total laymen. So far I'm going on the following assumptions:
1) Main panel and keypad will obviously need replacing.
2) I can use existing wiring between main panel and keypad.
2) PIR's, door, window sensor should be reusable.
3) Bell box/inernal sounder I'm unsure about, although retailer has suggested should be able to reuse the ADT one.
4) I can reuse existing wiring between main panel and PIR/Sensors if they need replacing.
5) Need COM2400 Voice for voice calls.
6) Also need IP module for online/app control
7) How do I deal with ADT? Do I just cancel service and start replacing? Or should I get them to disable it so it bell doesnt go off when I pull the panel.
I'll double check the exact panel when I'm next there.
