I am having a weird problem at my friend's house with his Elk system. I don't have any voices entered for all of his door zones as shown below.
I do have rules in place that announce a message (i.e. garage door open) when the zone is violated and the time is during the day as shown below.
What is happening is when he comes home (house armed in away mode) and opens his garage door, no voice announcements are made. Then he opens the laundry room door to access the keypad inside (no voice announcement made when he opened that door as well), then he disarms the system.
All of a sudden you hear 'house disarmed' then "laundry room door opened" then "garage door opened" then it repeats "laundry room door opened" then "garage door opened". Sometimes he has stated that it is not in that order, but it always repeats the voice announcements for the doors opening twice during a disarm.
I really am at a loss here. I tried to add "and when not in an entry countdown" and "when house is disarmed" in those rules, but nothing helped.
The reason I have the doors setup this way is I want some non alarm announcements made during the night (example, I made a diabetes monitor interface for his daughter's Dexcom remote that need to get announced during the night time) so I can't just disable 'non alarm' announcements at night time with a rule.
I was thinking of making this Dexcom diabetes alert (a how-to on this is coming btw) monitor a 'silent alarm' but really didn't want to have to go that route.
Help and advice would be very much appreciated!
