Come on now! Satel is the manufacturer! AFAIK. And as I said in another comment - this shit is simple as f**k!
Don’t blame alarm systems manufacturer for poor/predatory service of your local security company.

And it did not occur to you to disconnect the siren? :D
I don’t know what country you are from and what you use but you are extremely overestimating the level of complexity of these “security devices”.
Everything is clearly described in installation and service manuals. Everything is available from the manufacturer. You can install these systems DIY if you’d like. Disconnection of a sensor is a security event which triggers alarm no matter if it was armed or not. How to handle this is described in manual. The shitty support that couldn’t handle it speaks volumes about their competence.
The service codes which should be unique to each client and installation are reused on every system that given contractor installs. After a brief gig my brother had as a technician, he knew service codes for all banks and jeweleries in the radius of 150km… That disarms the alarm at wish and can modify settings :)
And you are worried that you might compromise the security by DIYing it? :)
I’d rather buy usb to serial converter, search for service manual and try default passwords

Ooh, that’s interesting. But I assume there is nothing stopping me from using both quux AND alternative routes to nodes (via meshtastic for instance) at the same time? I don’t have to go fully one way or another?
I wonder how hard and if feasible at all it would be to have something like an email over NNCP over meshtastic network. Total independence and resilience.
Once upon a time I stumbled on a tool called “fsfreeze”. Might be useful.

Then I don’t know why, but I am sure over 30% of heat in my house escapes through the roof.
Yeah I lived in flats before, it’s a totally different story, unless your flat is on the last floor or on the corner there is not much heat loss assuming your neighbors also use the heating.
Invoice from yesterday for December 2023. I used 201 m3 of gas, calculated by provider as being equal to 2224kWh of power for which I paid 682.81 PLN (157 € to be exact) in total including taxes and surcharges. So 3.397 PLN or around 0.78 EUR per m3.
December was one of the coldest months this season. Last year I used maximum of 250 m3 per month which happened to be January/February. This then exceeded 200€
This includes both warm water and heating using low-temperature floor heating. Current thermostat settings give me 22C on the base floor and 20C on the first floor (where most heat escapes, obviously). I also have mechanical ventilation with recuperation.
Shit’s expensive.
With current prices of electricity, the same heating power with perfect constant COP of 3 (not possible with December temps for air heat pump) would cost me 666 PLN. (Nice). How can I offset the cost of installing it in the first place LOL.
Lucky you. 175 square meters, 25cm styrofoam on walls and 30cm rock wool on ceiling and I pay 200€ per month in winter for gas heating in Poland. Solar panels are not economical in current regulations and billing rules have changed so those with heat pumps pay at least twice us much in coldest months.
We are fucked from every angle.
That’s what you call a
memory foam
