Re: Envisalink - TPI Documentation

Keybus Transmit Buffer Overrun means that the API already has data queued for the panel when this new command came in. So it is busy.

Try slowing down your commands to the API. The DSC key-bus is VERY slow, and was meant for human interactive timings, not M2M.

Re: Amazon Alexa Envisalink Skill Information

We've had a lot of calls into tech support saying that when they try and arm their system via Alexa, the AI responds immediately with "<security system> is not responding". The system does actually arm even though "she" says the system is not responding. I talked to my colleague at Envisacor and he ...

Re: Amazon Alexa Envisalink Skill Information

Any update from amazon as to when it might be available in Canada? No and they have made it very clear they will not be giving any guidance on when this skill will be available in other countries. All the developers who ask on the their forum are told to watch their weekly email update or the ...

Re: Amazon Alexa Envisalink Skill Information

Are there any plans to allow the "Alarm Device" to be used in Alexa Routines. Currently the EVL Device is not available for selection when creating a new routine. Obvious benefits would be geofence arming, controlling lights, turning on otherdevices, etc... Thanks, You can't trigger off of the ...

Re: Amazon Alexa Envisalink Skill Information

This is not a big change. Just two lines in json file. But anyway.. Never tried to say like "Alexa Arm Away", will try. But in generally speaking it could be a parameter in settings which defines the preferable arming mode. Why not? The list of acceptable utterances are right at the top of this ...

Yes, we are working on it. Google's developer portal for Google Home was down for almost a month so we are delayed.

Re: Amazon Alexa Envisalink Skill Information

I got it working. We just moved into this house in August, so it's been a bit of a guessing game with the alarm setup, but as far as I know, this house has only one partition. However, the quick arm programming was set to 1 2. I changed it to 1 1 and now it works. Oh well. Thanks for your help ...

Re: Amazon Alexa Envisalink Skill Information

I had a similar issue with an app, that would not work in Canada, for some reason the vendor needed to have it bilingual for it to work in Canada.. may be this is the case with this app ? No, Amazon just released the skill in December and only in the US. It will be rolled-out to the other regions ...

Re: Amazon Alexa Envisalink Skill Information

You can't do any of those things with the Alexa skill as Amazon defines how a security system works and bypassing, PGMs, and everything else I think would be standard isn't included. I am still also peeved that only US customers can use it, that just seems stupid. Somebody asked about *9 on DSC, I ...

Re: Envisalink - TPI Documentation

Sorry Guys, missed this conversation. Yes, the TPI checksum is completely useless and I don't even check it on my test apps. The TPI protocol comes from the DSC PC5401 module which our company manufactured for DSC before I even graduated from school. It was used over an RS-232 interface which indeed ...
