Reusing Old Phone Watch Alarm?

    hi all,

    I moved into a new home recently and there a 1-2 year old wireless phone watch alarm throughout the house; the subscription was stopped so it’s all sitting idle.

    Is it possible to reuse this? I’m assuming that I’d need to swap in a new hub/receiver for connecting to the devices and that there must be some form of free app I can then download to kick things off?


    Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    I’m going to take down the olde receiver this morning after coffee to take a closer look at its manufacturer details to hopefully learn more which can help.

    TIA!

    Opened up the control hub and it's listed as a SECTOR ALARM security gateway. Googled them there and looks like they're the parent / leasing group for phone watch in Ireland as it's the exact same app, product etc. which is interesting!

    Oh, wtheck. No joy as it seems the system is locked to them. But it looks like they actually own it to??

    This is daft as hell. Phonewatch is now on my list of enemies.

    The system is locked to them.

    It connects to their server so your hands are tied using that system unfortunately.
