HKC SW1070 upgrade

    Hi,

    We currently have a HKC alarm, and from looking at the label on the PCB in the main box it is a sw1070. I was curious in the best option for upgrading this or if that is even possible. Is there a module I can buy for this to allow app integration or do I need a new board for that? Any idea on costs?
    I have recently installed some remote control of other devices in the house using sonoff products and this got me thinking on the alarm.

    Thanks

    The 1070 is a relatively new panel & is capable of app control with additional equipment, so no need to upgrade. It is one of the ones that comes with annual or monthly charges.

    I was on the HKC site there and see a LAN card is an option. I could probably drop a network cable to that panel handy enough. If I have that is it then a subscription service? Our home is very rarely empty so remote control is just a nice to have and if it meant spending a few quid on a network card and using our existing internet I would consider it.

    The HKC service is still a subscription even if using your own path.
    They have a dual card which connects to both GSM network and wifi in your home.
