Aritech to HKC Upgrade - Sensor Compatibility

    Hi Guys,
    I have an Aritech CS250 with a dialler which currently works perfectly. However, I would like to upgrade to something with better communication (App etc) as we get a good few spurious alarms due to bird strikes and such like (big feckin' pidgeons!) and being able to narrow it down and reset would be a big benefit.
    Trawling the forum it seems like a HKC comes recommended by a lot of people.
    I have a mixture of wired (10 x GS613 + some PIRs), wireless (7 x RF620i4) and wireless smoke alarms (2 x RF572NSTi4). Bells are all wired.

    Easiest (cheapest!) of course would be to keep all the sensors if they can be used on a HKC panel - I assume the wired shocks can but would I need to change all the wireless devices? Is the communication standard or could I get some kind of bridge or would it just be best to replace them all?

    Cheers

    Keep all the wired devices , change the wireless , review your gross & pulse settings for your sensors
