Hi All, not the full answer as does not address when things go wrong,
but remember that just about all new systems now can come with a fob on
your key ring which is single button activated.

Colin

Kiran,

The DT system is definitely workable. There is a keypad set up like a
telephone keypad, and you have to enter a four digit code to set the
alarm, and the same four digit code to switch it off when you come in.
There is no accessible output from the screen, but I had few problems in
the time I had the alarm.

Best,

David.

I've had an ADT alarm, and whilst not entirely accessible, setting and
unsetting it wasn't a problem. Further to this, the staff at ADT knew of
my disability, and said that if I encountered any problems, they'd help
sort them out, which indeed, they did.

Best,

David.

Hi,

The Centico (SP) system that Steve used to deal with I believe is no
more, it was quite expensive.

The system we have here doesn't actually have a screen on it, everything
is controlled with lights and beeps, and to access any of the advanced
functions of the unit you need an engineer code which I don't have, and
the turning on and off of the system is very simple.  I do have a
feature on it where you can turn off a specific zone in the house for
pets etc. by using a programme button but this again is very usable
without sight.

Not sure of the make/model etc. it was just from a local company.

Andrew.
