I am not currently in the private thread, sent enquiry to join but not sure of process or who to talk to.

Send me a PM and I will provide you with details of how to gain access.

If you have identified legimate problems, why not clarify here?

Because these discussions have been repeated on this forum many times frequently resulting in threads being derailed.

Thanks for the replies folks.
I had an electrican out to take a look and be advised to go wired for simplicity and to reuse our current system. It seems like the cost and hassle of changing batteries in the wire free systems is something to consider.
Is worth mention we are rewiring the whole house and drylining the walls so wires can easily be hidden.

That is the better option if wires can be installed and protected.

Thanks for the update.
That would seem like the better option in that case alright.

Makes sense. Ask your electrician to split up as many zones as possible. Don't settle for front windows / back windows ect. You want to know exactly what window/door triggered the alarm.

Some ideas

Wire for 12v smokes ( they'll trigger the alarm)
Wire for a siren downstairs and upstairs
Wire for beams in as many rooms as possible /affordable for reliable alarm confirmation these can be looped as your panel supports smart point ID sensors.
Wire for any extra keypads or panic buttons.

That is great OP, there is plenty of life in that control panel yet and I am glad you are availing of it.
