Re: Zone Followers

You Gentlemen misunderstand, or maybe I'm not clear. Prior to thottling, zone followers constituted 99% of alert traffic and took down our servers multiple times. That is why we had to take down the service altogther until a solution was found. Throttling at first made things managable (50% or so ...

Re: Zone Followers

It's clearly understood that you experienced a flood of traffic before your October 2012 meeting, but you fixed that problem with the elegant throttling algorithm you announced in November 2012, which was praised by me and others in this thread when you announced it - http://forum.eyez-on.com/FORUM ...

Re: Zone Followers

The excuse of excessive messages is no longer valid. They fixed that issue after it occurred when a number of us offered suggestions on how to solve the problem. That is why the zone followers only send out email alerts every 5-10 minutes so that any excessive flooding gets blocked in between the 1 ...

Re: ANNOUNCE: Resumption of Zone Follower Service

I'm very glad things are re-enabled and that is a very good compromise. The reduction of 10 minutes to 5 minutes on the interval timer is a nice added bonus too. The only thing that I ask is that if you need to disable some service like this again in the future, please send out a message to all ...

Re: TPI and Zone Followers

That is a great idea, and it if supports SMTP over TLS/SSL then people could point the module to use an external SMTP server like through gmail, etc... that allows relaying.

Re: New Feature Requests

Another feature that would be nice to have and would also cut down on zone-follower messages is the ability to create a schedule or multiple schedules, so that you can have specified zone followers active but only on certain days and between certain times. That would cut down on the number of ...

Re: New Feature Requests

I'm not sure if this has already been mentioned and I'm not sure if it is possible with the DSC alarm panels but it would be great if you could add an alarm code to the system but have it only active during certain days/times. I'm thinking of a situation where a person needs to come to your house to ...
