Announce violated zone via voice dialer?

[mimitche]

I just received my Elk M1 and have it setup for bench testing. I'm very surprised to find that the voice dialer cannot announce which zone was violated; this seems like basic functionality to me! I have a rule setup to dial and announce "burglary"(vm289) whenever the burglar alarm turns on; that works fine. Am I missing something or would I have to create an individual rule for every single zone if I wanted the violated zone announced via voice notification?

I found similar discussion via search in the Home Automation forum (http://www.cocoontech.com/index.php?showtopic=8732) but there didn't seem to be a consensus.

Thanks in advance!

The email works the same way. No way to email "Alarm (Insert zone Here)" types of messages. I think I tried the voice option and found it to be limited in its reportability also. Spanky will have to chime in on this one or call tech support.
