Just wondering if anyone has used this service yet and would love to hear about your experience. I am interested in it for the notifications as ELK native email is lacking. The arming/zone status features are useless to me as I am using Ekeypad.

Is the DST problem why when i sync the panel with a time server the time is always wrong?

I ended up just keeping a light near the keypad so he can see those two buttons. That is definetly something that should be added to the next firmware to give people the ability to choose which buttons light up. Thanks!

That would work but then the button wouldnt say away/stay and my father would be more confused!

Not going to use the Stay Instant mode as my older parent might open the door by mistake a few times. I am going to lessen the entry delay a bit. I wish though that you could lessen the delay on stay only rather than affecting AWAY mode also. Thanks Philip

Found the answer....thanks anyway!

When a entry perimitter door is opened while the panel is in STAY mode, it still has the entry delay which is currently 60secs. Should STAY be instant or a really short delay? How do i change the delay for STAY? Thanks Philip

unless i am missing something, i only see an option to invert the light for the F1-F4 keys only...... no other keys

Is there a way to keep these two buttons lit all the time. Right now they only light when you press them, My father doesnt see too well. He can see the number keys as they stay lit all the time but not the exit and stay keys. Thanks Philip

I am going to try turning of the breakers to the house and see if one of them makes the buzz go away. There are 120 circuits in the house so it might take a little while. Its not amp itself because all 5 amps have the same problem. I have already tried changing the cable. I also tried...

closet flourscent fixtures would be in the basement. No transformers. I don't know what a 60 cycle hum sounds like so i couldn't answer that. They are parasound amps plugged into a panamax m7500pro which has a ground isolation feature to deal with ground loops. Doesnt help. The only source...

I have a hum/buzz on all my outdoor speakers. I have tried a ground loop isolator that plugs into the rca connectors. If i disconnect the rca cables coming from my media server going to the amps, the buzz goes away. If i plug amp input into something else,, like the rca outs on my dvd player...

I programmed my ademco vista 20p panel and disabled all the zones not being used but my keypad still shows trouble with zones 5 and 6 even though they are set as disabled. I connected to the panel via the compass software to verify that they are set to disabled..... any ideas? Thanks Philip

I have a false alarm maybe every other week and its becoming a problem. How can i program the system to go into alarm mode only when 2 zones are tripped with X amount of time? I thought i read somewhere this was possible but i forget where. Thanks Philip

I had a wireless glass break trigger my alarm last night but there was no glass break... arent false alarms on glass breaks rare?? When there is a burglar alarm, it will show event 1003 in the log stating burglar alarm, then at the same time will have event 1146.....why is this? Thanks! Philip
