Re: Increasing/changing battery backup

Thanks for the reply. It could be that I'm due for a new battery. I've just had a couple of longer outages in the last year (one was 23 hours) that's maybe gotten me thinking about battery requirements as for very short outages the current battery seems to be working ok. I'll look into getting a rep...

Increasing/changing battery backup

I've been very happy with the sidekick since I installed it with one issue. We have occasional power outages that last longer than a few minutes and the 'standard' battery doesn't last very long with the added load. I'm wondering if there is any guidance for increasing the backup battery system beyo...

So I'm seeing the zone supposedly open several times but the age of the motion doesn't seem to be resetting (as I would have expected if the zone was actually open) and continued to increment until I arrived home 8 hours later.

Re: Zone Follower Or? Follow-up Questions.

Help me understand what I'm seeing here. I am attaching screenshots from the app over the course of several hours. I bypassed Zone 1 - LR Motion when I left home. images represent what I saw on the app when I looked at it from just after noon until just before 4:00 PM. Is this normal for a DSC syste...

Re: Zone Follower Or Something Else

Thanks for the info. I have just set that zone for bypass and tested it to verify that the zone does indeed update the app/portal with motion activity in that state. That will do what I need to do without further steps. I just have to check the status when I'm away (and/or before I return) to verify...

Re: Zone Follower Or Something Else

2. Yes, you could change the sensor's definition to monitor-zone (platform dependent), and use your zone-follower but... 3. Your best bet is to just change the zone in the panel to monitor zone and you can always look at your zone status to see if it tripped in the last 72 hours. It's a DSC system....

Zone Follower Or Something Else

When we built this house we had several caged birds in a room with a motion sensor. After a couple of false alarms from that room which we were assured by the installer 'could NOT have been the birds' as they were too small, we had the sensor replaced. Well, after another false we just started alway...

Re: Envisalink Sidekick cellular backup

Does the Sidekick only work with EnvisaLink 4? I have Envisalink 3. Will I have to upgrade to 4 to use it (when I can eventually get it)?

Re: Amazon Alexa Envisalink Skill Information

Would also like to know about bypassing zones, etc. The arm/arm-away/disarm work great for me so far. Thanks!
