Can a Guest Bypass a Vista 20P Zone?

[jtw]

Ok.  Let's say that I'm out of town for a month.  During that time, I get a failure that causes an alarm.  My monitoring company/app only allow me to arm and disarm the entire system.  I cannot bypass a zone remotely.  
 
With a faulted zone, I don't think I will be able to rearm the system.  (Is that right?)  Is there any way to assign a system security code that would allow a user to bypass a zone without giving them access to disarm the entire system?  
 
I want to set up the system so that, if a fault occurs, and sets off an alarm, I can remotely disarm the entire system.  Then let someone enter the house, and use a code to bypass the faulted zone.  Then, have them leave, and now, be able to remotely arm the system.  But, I don't want that person to be able to disarm the entire system.
 
Thanks.

Are you using Total Connect 2.0 service? If so, you should be able to bypass zones remotely via totalconnect2.com and the Total Connect 2.0 service.

Not yet.  But after the contract expires.......

Well once you have that, you'd be able to bypass remotely. There is no way to setup a user code that can bypass but can't arm/disarm.

There is a setting on the Vista20P that allows it to enable auto bypass.  In otherwords, if a zone is faulted, the alarm can still be turned on.  I have seen installers turn this feature off, but if you have access to program it, you could turn it on or you could ask your installer to turn it on for you if they will.
