Ready to go now to anyone who wants to play, fully working as an alarm
but much more to do. Will add some documents to the website.

this system has many many features including apps for win 7, blackberry and
android. We will do an iphone app once we have finished all the features
and are happy with the system. Built in modem, add on ethernet, add on gsm
and even x10 control if you really need it. Comes as an 8, 10 and 50 zone
panel and has many HA posibilities which I am adding including heating
control etc. Software to program which is easy and soon wireless stuff but
very early days. For those who know texecom will love this panel. Keypad is
pretty basic looking but new ones coming. It takes an awful lot of money to
do things like this but we think its been worth it. Some pics on
www.itacltd.co.uk but more info to follow. Sorry for basic website.

sensors, and supported various add ons and a shedload of neat additional
features.

application, which cost more than the whole of the rest of the set-up put
together!!). This meant that you had to drive the whole thing from the
keypad and LCD display, which was just way too complicated and
non-intuitive to set-up or modify. We've ended up just using the very basic
functions - so it was a waste of money really.

out there now.
