Re: Vista TPI suggestion: send current status to new connect

That seems like it should get me most of the way; I hadn't taken the time to really look at that output before. Just to confirm what seems to be happening: those timers get reset to 0xFFFF every time a zone is mentioned in a keypad display update, correct? I still think it'd be nice to be able to ...

Re: TPI suggestion: send current status to new connections

Yes, sorry, good point. I'm using the Honeywell TPI on an Envisalink 4 running firmware 01.00.69A. My panel is a Vista 21iP. I've edited the topic title to make that clear. I understand the Honeywell is a pretty dumb panel, but clearly the Envisalink is tracking the state of all the zones since I ...

Vista TPI suggestion: send current status to new connections

It would be great if the Envisalink would always send 01 and 02 messages (zone and partition status) immediately when a new connection is established and authenticated. Or alternately, if there were a command I could send to poll for the current zone and partition status. Right now those messages ...

Re: Check 103 on Vista 21iP with GSM module (EVL4)

The best of both worlds, keep your current monitoring alarm provider that monitors via the 21iP GSM/IP board and utilize the EVL as a 2nd IP communicator reporting directly to Envisalink's server. That's exactly what I want. (Well, that and the ability to directly talk to the EVL on my local ...

Re: Check 103 on Vista 21iP with GSM module (EVL4)

My alarm installer came by a couple days ago to do something unrelated, and I had him do a system test since he was there. The bad news is that with the jumper for the onboard LAN removed, the GSM module also gets disabled (as in, no power flows to it at all). He ended up having to completely ...

Re: Check 103 on Vista 21iP with GSM module (EVL4)

Ah, that did it. The Envisalink instructions were so clear about needing to have shadowing turned on that I didn't think to try toggling it off. I believe the answer is "yes," but just to confirm: with shadowing turned off, the Vista 21iP will still use the Envisalink to contact my existing ...

Check 103 on Vista 21iP with GSM module (EVL4)

I am adding an EnvisaLink 4 to a Vista 21iP that has a GSM module. I want to keep using my existing monitoring service so I'd like to make sure the GSM radio stays working. The Envisalink is communicating with the online service and seeing the status of my zones show up correctly. But I'm getting a ...
