    Hi,

    Currently have a wired alarm in the house for the last 14years. It's currently faulty and I am.going to take this opportunity to upgrade it.

    Current alarm is an Airtech CS350
    1 X PIR
    5 X windows sensors
    2 X door sensors

    Securigard are currently doing an offer of
    8 X sensors (5 windows 3 doors)
    1 X PIR

    It's the only place I've look for a quote off as I've just started researching but was hoping someone could recommend something

    Ideally I would.like to be able to integrate this with my smart home devices. GH, Amazon Alexa, IFTTT, Stringify etc to notify me if alarm is going off.

    Any suggestions would be great. I live in the Celbridge/Leixlip/Maynooth area.

    Thanks BobbyT28

    Hi Bobby

    Id the house pre-wired . If so the wiring is probably fine to reuse.
    Do you wish to replace all the sensors at the same time?

    I would recommend GSD i1070 or Siemens SPC4320

    Both offer wires & wireless hybrid systems with 2 way wireless should you want to add devices?
    Both offer self monitoring with apps that are free to download without tying yourself into annual or monthly fees.
    If you are looking at self monitoring via apps its well worth taking a look at the sticky here

    There is some hefty differences between some panels when it comes to polling & notifications.

    Re Securigard. Do a search of this forum and judge for yourself.
