HAI Button to silence door beeps

[fabriziojoe]

I had a party last week and was annoyed when all of the little kids kept opening and closing the perimeter doors. The doors are set to beep when open. Is there a way to create a button to disable the door for x amount of time and then reenable?

Thanks

Not directly... what you could do is disable the console door beeps, then create rules that tell the console to beep when a door zone becomes not ready. Then put a flag condition in the rule that the beeps only happen if a flag is off. When you don't want the doors to beep for a while, use PC Access or a defined button to turn the flag on for the desired amount of time.

Lots of ways to skin this cat.

You can turn the Entry/Exit chime off in PC ACcess or in the setup so it doesn't chime at all.
I have it set up this way so it beeps if a window opens but not a door.

I also have a "Disable Beeps" button for parties.

WHEN Disable Beeps
THEN ALL CONSOLES Disable Beep

I have an "Enable Beep" button to re-enable manually, I also have a timed at Wakeup Time (5:00 AM) to re-enable the beepers.

You could also go to the consoles, press and hold 4 and the up arrow and set the beep behavior for the individual console.
That will be a permanent change though.

Thanks for the the suggestions.
I have the app from Dan on my iPhone which makes this a breeze.

The code is as follows:

WHEN Disable Console Beeps
THEN All Consoles DISABLE BEEPS

WHEN Enable Console Beeps
THEN All Consoles ENABLE BEEPS

I created 2 buttons named:
No Beep
Beep

Works Great!

I created a 'Take Nap' button that effectively does the same thing. However, it doesn't disable the beeps on the 5.7e only on my consoles.

Is there a way to do this for the 5.7e?
