Per another website, there is a bug that involves this setting.  In some cases it is not doing what it is supposed to do.  I actually don't really know what it is supposed to do, started to look at it, then decided I didn't give a #### . . . had no need for it whatever it is.  I might try...

After some google searches I came across the solution Section [013] Option [6].  Turn it off. Also, turns out my power supply was bad. Started having trouble again with a second new battery. So I made the crazy assumption that I wasn't repeatedly getting bad batteries and replaced the power...

My panel had a battery go bad and it did something weird and the panel went completely berzerk.  After rebooting it with a new battery, for whatever reason it would not give me the ready to arm despite all the zones being ready to arm.  Finally, I factory reset it and started over.  Now I have a...

When arriving at home and connecting, you are right, I could use the LAN, but really it is just 6/half dozen portal vs lan and the portal address was already on my clipboard for a quick ctrl-v.  But on the way out I can't use the lan.  If there were some reason to make sure this worked when the...

When I leave. . .the tasker trigger is losing my home wifi connection.  It wouldn't be able to shut off the home phones since at that point, I am off the LAN.  Also just as easy to use the portal URL as my home URL. 

I browsed this, didn't read it all, but here is what I do and have been for many years.   Cable Modem.  At home is is about 300/30, at the office it is about 100/10 VOIP via Phone Power.  $60/year per line unlimited.  Use an OBI device as VOIP modem.  I could probably do just fine using a free...

Did this happen with the switch out of DST?  Elk firmware has had issues with that.  Though not just going to the old blinking 12:00, but still.  I'm not able to check my current firmware, but it is working very well.  Anyway, you might consider upgrading your firmware.

what is the event that you are following to cause the two to toggle?  Use that event to trigger the two to toggle to opposite states rather than using the outputs to trigger each other.

Yeah, actually they called into the panel and set their info into it.  Not sure if they set those codes or not.  Thing is, they (Watchlight Alarm Relay) don't even pay any attention to the reporting code.  You send them an email with what each zone is and how you want them to respond to it.

I haven't used glass break sensors in 30 years.  However, back then, you could take a metal bowl full of silverware and give it a good up and down bounce and wammo, off go the glass break detectors. I discovered that by accident opening the silverware drawer a bit aggressively.

That looks like it worked.  Thanks!  I don't recall ever setting reporting codes for any of the other zones, so I don't know why I had to for this zone.  Seems like setting the zone type to 24 hour water would set the reporting to the same?  I guess not.   And regarding the outputs.  The outputs...

I have Roku's on all my TV's.  There is a roku app that links to blue iris (or other).  From within Blue Iris, I set up a composite of all the cameras I wanted to see from the roku, and put the url into the roku app.  https://www.rokuguide.com/channels/ip-camera-viewer-pro  is the one I use.  It...

Excellent!  That may be the trick.  I'll give it a try on Tuesday and let you know.

Thanks for the comments.  I do believe you can do two (or more) zones as "ands" or "ors" but not a zone and a system event/status.  I haven't tried it, but I thought maybe I could use program one to trigger on armed status, which opens a relay connected to a non-alarm zone.  Then have output 2...

I have a DSC PC1832 at my office.  I have two partitions and this is the main partition I'm dealing with which has 7 of the 8 zones assigned to it.  I just installed a water zone on zone 8.  It is an EOL NC zone like the others.  When I trigger the water sensor, the siren sounds and partition 1...
