The flag is being toggled on and off from a keypad function key linked to a task, which applies a rule to toggle to "BeepGarage" flag on and off with successive keypresses (I have attached the fuller picture).   Anyhow, further testing leads me to believe there's a problem with the "state...

the new power supply sorted the problem   thanks for your responses

oops, i've only just realised i need to follow a topic (even if i started it) to get email notification of responses.  I will have more of a look and respond.   thanks for your ressponses

Does anyone have a doorbell detector fro the ELK-930 trio that is surplus to their requirements, and wouldn't mind parting with it ?

I have some rules that set Chime on and off.  The rule to turn it on works fine (and the Chime soft-button on my keypad is illuminated), but the rule to turn it off doesn't work so well.   The system voice-announces "Chime is off" and the Chime soft-button on the keypad is no longer lit, but the...

Yep, think I've got it sussed.  As suggested by mikefamig above, I downloaded the M1-current-draw-worksheet, and stuck all the numbers in.  All seemed good until I remembered the two 12V screamers in my sheds - at 200mA each pushed the current drain above 1A and the spreadsheet suddenly says...

thanks for your comments - I will investigate

Isn't bypassing a bit different though?  I thought if I bypassed a zone, it could flip between active and secure repeatedly without causing an alarm.  Yet a zone that is force armed (as you say) will become active as soon as it is secure - meaning if it becomes active again, an alarm will be...

I don't understand.  The tamper switch was usually in the normal condition, but was a bit intermittent and hence I applied the bypass (thinking I would leave the bypass there until I got around to repairing it).  I understand that if the switch was in exception, that enabling force arming means...

I would really like to understand what you have said above, and how the M1 can enable and disable with just the one statement,

yes, all zones

I get the following rule (power fail event) triggering every time my alarm is triggered (simultaneous with the alarm activating).   any ideas why ?   Ian

We were on holiday and a corroded siren tamper switch caused a false alarm.  I bypassed it and reset the alarm.  Weeks later (today) when I went to replace the switch, I noticed it was not bypassed anymore.   1. What causes the system to remove the bypass?   The manual says it the bypass will be...

I had 2 outages yesterday of 60 and 45 minutes, and there was nothing in the log apart from "telephone line trouble" at the time of power restoration.  Where is the AC Fail reporting delay set ? (I can't find it)

yes, I've done that too, but would also like it in the log
