DoorBell Chime - during panel startup

wanted

Member
Wondering if anyone can give me a work around to the following problem.

I have a doorbell zone connected to the M1 Gold - which i announce a custom recording when pressed.

However whenever the panel is rebooted / powered up the doorbell will chime away for about 10secs.

I understand the panel disables / bypasses zones on startup to prevent false alarms. Can anyone think of a work around to my rules so the doorbell does not chime continuosly for 10secs on panel startup???

Thanks

Anthony

WHENEVER DoorBell (Zn 193) BECOMES NOT SECURE
THEN TURN Output 208 ON FOR 10 SECS
THEN TURN Output 207 ON FOR 5 MINS
THEN ANNOUNCE DoorBell (Zn 193)
5
WHENEVER Output 208 STATE IS TURNED ON
THEN BYPASS DoorBell (Zn 193)
6
WHENEVER Output 208 STATE IS TURNED OFF
THEN UNBYPASS DoorBell (Zn 193)
7
WHENEVER Output 207 STATE IS TURNED OFF
AND Anthony & Nicole (Area 1) IS ARMED AWAY
THEN ADD 1 TO Visitor (Counter 1)
 
I would use a new output, set it to ON upon M1 startup, and then allow the doorbell rules to only trigger if that output is turned on (by default, the M1 turns them all off when it first turns on).
 
Are you using these as imaginary points for the panel to see or are they actual outputs connected?

These are imaginary outputs used to prevent visitors pressing the doorbell too many times and also one used for a counter to indicated if I missed visitors while away.
