    Hi. I have an existing alarm in my house. It's around 10 years old and works fine but I would like to update the alarm panel to connect it to the internet.

    I would like to be able to turn it on and off remotely from a smartphone. I don't want to have to replace all other components such as the pir or window and door contacts.

    Anyone know of such an alarm panel

    Most panels have this option now.The most popular free options would be Siemens/Vanderbilt, GSD & Risco.
    Apps are also available on HKC & Phonewatch Systems but you are required to pay monthly or annual subscription charges.
