Recently installed a SmartCom WiFi module to my 64w thinking that I would only be able to control/connect to my alarm when connected to a WiFi network. However, I've discovered that I can connect via the mobile network too and set and unset the system and receive notifications. How can this...

Nvm, all sorted now. Update wasn't corrupted after all. Bizarrely it won't part set from the app if there is no text in the part-arm 1 text field in global options - system text tab. No idea why but there you go.

Everything working perfectly with the Smartcom/connect app apart from the part-arm button on home page. Same on wife's phone too. I've defaulted the Smartcom by removing lid and pressing button 5 times quickly. SmartCom reset but still on updated (corrupt?) firmware. Set SmartCom up again and...

Kept getting nagged in connect app to upgrade firmware from 4.04 to latest 4.05 so I did. It seemed to go without any issues. However, now, the part arm button will not work for either house or garage in the apps home screen. But, interestingly it DOES work when part arming from the "modes"...

Is it this option in global options?

Sparky, I see your point about it being useful. However, if my house is unarmed but my garage is full armed and the house keypad says "part-armed" me and the wife + kids are unsure if it's the house part-armed or the garage full armed. Also, are you saying that if the opposite case is true i.e...

This doesn't make sense. House Area A (keypad area A only) Garage Area B (keypad area B only) Only area A has a part set (with "part armed" text banner). When I fully arm the garage (area B), from the app, it shows up as "Part armed" on Area A keypad (no entry/exit door opened/closed in...

I'm creating recipes to time arm and disarm an area (garage) in the connect app (V2). I know that the on-off timer needs to be a 5 min window (eg on 7am.....off 7:05am). My question is, what is the actual trigger time? Would it be 7am or 7:05am in the above example?

Ahh, so you're saying wire the 12v+ wire from 1 external sounder to a digicom terminal (dc+), but put a 1A in-line fuse (does it need to be slow blow?) in it. I assume the other 4 wires from bellbox go to the normal panel terminals (0V, bell-trigger, strobe and tamper). Or have I got it...

Not quite sure what you mean above about "DC communicator power" ?? Do you mean an additional psu200 to support the main panel? I'd rather not if I can avoid it. Maybe I need the garage bellbox to be wireless instead of wired. That should make a difference.

Yes, wireless sensors battery power - no panel draw. Internal sounder will be Texecom 2 wire £3.99 jobby (not great but better than nothing and cheap). Think this draws 200mA when in alarm. I'm hoping that if I put at least 1 of the external Sounders in scb mode I might just scrape under the...

Yes, I've used the en calculator. I'd like to run the following (house + garage) 1. 64w panel (existing) 2. 2 wired LCDLP keypads (1 house existing, 1 proposed garage) 3. 1 smartcom (proposed) 4. 1 wired Risco Nova 2 external sounder (existing on house) 5. 1 wired Texecom Odyssey X-BE...

Hi Default PSU in 64w is 1.5A. Can this be removed and replaced with Texecom 2.5A PSU and I assume you'd have to put a larger fuse in? Asking because the system I have in mind will be close to 1.5A draw when in alarm conditions (if not slightly over with 2nd bellbox?).

You mean the 12v and bell trigger wire at the main panel? Or do you mean inside the bell-box after cover removed?
