Hi Barry,
No, we don't sell any security system, we only recommend the Sentico one.
This is a wireless security system, and there would be no easy way to
connect it to central heating.
All the best
Steve

Hi Jackie and Steve - I am sure that there was discussion on one of the
lists about 12 months ago about a talking heater control system in the USA.
I haven't had time to Google it, and I'm not sure if it would be compatible
with systems in the UK - voltages, AC/DC etc.
Steve, don't you sell a security system with a talking control unit? Would
that company be interested in developing a talking heating control box? I
would have thought that, at a reasonable cost, there would be a market...
All the best,
Barry G
