This is driving me NUTS!

So we bought a home with ADT system about a month ago. I hate ADT so I did not renew the contract. The previous owner owns the system outright and now I own it.

I planned to use it as a local system so I connected it to my wifi when I moved in a month ago and it has been fine until few days ago.

Now, I am constantly getting a "Wifi Fault" beep. I am able to reconnect it to my wifi but after few minutes, I get this error again.

There was a thread by someone who had the same issue and he resolved it by not allowing the panel to contact the Alarm.com IP address. Apparently ADT does this on purpose to annoy you in hoping you re-sign up. Unfortunately, I don't know how to do that with my Astound broadband and Eero 6 mesh system.

So, before I unplug it and remove the backup battery and make it a paperweight, is there anything I can do to stop it from beeping with this "Wifi Fault" error?!

SafeWatch Pro 3000: Windows and Door Sensors

We recently had all of our windows replaced and the existing hardwired sensors will no longer work, so we’re looking to replace them. It looks like a wireless option would be the easiest, and since I don’t really want to drill holes in our new windows, something surface mount.

We called ADT and the gave us a quote for 10x 5818MNL which are recessed, so we’ll likely want to go with a 5800 series or the like. The quote was like $625 installed.

Is there a better option?
