Hello Nikhil,

Unfortunately, as Yale alarms are DIY systems, they only come with one communication module built-in and does not allow for replacing or adding another type of module. Depending on the model of your Yale alarm, you may still be able to replace the control panel with one that supports broadband ( smart phone app) connectivity or GSM (sim card) connectivity and get it programmed to all other devices. If that is not an option, unfortunately you will have to replace the whole alarm for a new one.

With such issues, we would recommend a professional grade alarm, as most of our customers going through similar issues can simply add a new communication module and get the system working as before.

Hope this helps.

I have Yale security system but it has only landline connection option. Will it be possible to connect through mobile or wifi router? I am planning to disconnect my landline as it is getting expensive now. Appreciate any suggestion.

In reply to Peter Lane.

Hello Peter,
We feel your pain. It is difficult to get hold of stocks on discontinued models of alarms, especially DIY alarms as the distributors do not stock them in large quantities. Having said that, we work with most of Yale alarms and hold stocks on a few of their popular discontinued models. Please get in touch and we will see if we can be of help.
Thank you,
Emma

I have only had one of these a few years. It doesn’t matter how good it is: if you look on the net it is discontinued entirely. so the answer to how long does it last is: until the first component fault and how long it takes to hit the skip when you throw it.

Well I have one and have just noticed it is discontinued on the Net, so no spare parts soon. Advice: just put it in the skip. I am tamping mad and wasted £250.
