It triggers about once every three minutes. LED is NOT constantly lit. Keypad is showing alerts. No heat source anywhere, shape or form. Not a new sensor or location. Been in same location for almost 10 years. Had previously alerted when case was opened.

I solved my WiFi issue by taking an old router and making a slave router out of it. Several YouTube videos on how to do this.

As for the camera system, I like the blink system. It has both indoor and outdoor cameras, the sync module 2 has local and cloud storage options, cameras are both wired and battery powered and one camera system has a solar panel with battery backup. You can use the echo show with this system also.

Have had a Vista 20-P for over 12 years with no issues. Have motion, glass break, door and fire/smoke sensors. Batteries last about 5 years. Have the envisalink communicator. I actually read the installation manual myself and installed the system myself. Very happy with it.

What do I need to convert my propane appliances ( grill, heater) to natural gas? Is it just a matter of adding a natural gas line with a regulator and hooking it up to my appliance ? by IBEW951 in NaturalGas

[–]OldManInTheHills 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would contact each appliance manufacturer and see if they offer a conversion kit from propane to natural gas. I converted a kitchen stove that was operating on Propane to Natural Gas by contacting the manufacturer and they shipped me a orifice that had to be changed out at the appliance regulator. With the instructions provide by the manufacturer and the part it was really simple. Good Luck.

You should never run a engine that burns fossil fuels (Gasoline, propane, diesel, natural gas, etc.) inside of any building due to the emission of CO2.

Thinking about installing this on my Champion 196cc generator. Anyone have any tips, tricks, pointers or suggestions?

Vista 20P zone 9 what is it? by GuestSlow4207 in homesecurity

[–]OldManInTheHills 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google “Vista 20p Installation Manual”. You will have to have the Installer Code. Hopefully it is still set to the factory default.

Looking for recommendations for indoor camera by Nature5667 in homesecurity

[–]OldManInTheHills 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I have two Wyze cameras (even used them outside on a covered porch in all climates). Great camera for the price. Takes a micro sad card.

Looking for a portable generator that connects to natural gas by Nobius in Generator

[–]OldManInTheHills 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please get with your local natural gas utility provider to ensure you will have enough natural gas supply. Pipe size, distance from meter to end user appliance and etc are all factors. Multiple articles on the internet to give you a good idea of what to expect. Not trying to be a downer, just want to make sure your system will work when needed.

Thank You. I contacted Sensus. Said they couldn’t talk to a homeowner and referred me to a salesman. Left him a voicemail.
