Re: Router or wifi extender

Yes. Either approach should work. Consider reliability and try to eliminate the wifi link between the EVL and the Internet, if possible.

Re: EVL-3 Basic Compatability Questions

5. Yes. You'll need to enter programming mode to complete the instructions as detailed in the eyezon programming guide. 6. Yes. Probably. When you power down be sure to disconnect the backup battery as well. Look at the *88 program mode lockout options. Note that the panel could have been previously...

Re: EVL-3 Basic Compatability Questions

2. Yes. 3. Many different enclosures will work fine. With most radio shack locations closed, you'll probably need to order one online. Maybe something like this http://www.onlinecomponents.com/bud-industries-cu1874b.html?p=10817001&utm_content=O3wQxtKy&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google&am...

Re: Honeywell Vista 20p No Test Alerts

If the problem was not with the module,but with the panel itself (i.e. panel is powered down or broken but module is powered-up and working) would the network test fail and alert you?

Re: Envisalink 4 spotted at ISC West

The cellular backup feature sounds interesting. However, I thought GSM was being decomissioned and new devices needed to be LTE. I hear that IoT over LTE can be had for $3-4 per device per month. It would be excellent if the Eyez-on cellular solution could be both a great technology and be available...

Re: Envisalink 4 spotted at ISC West

I'd be glad to provide information on why I think little has been accomplished in terms of improvements and bug fixes during the last year I've been a customer. I see lots of very good potential improvements mentioned in the forums, and I see very few that have actually been implemented. I went thro...

Re: Envisalink 4 spotted at ISC West

The hardware is great. I'd just like to see them fix some of the long term portal bugs and implement some of the most popular feature requests. We've seen no action on this front in a long time.

Re: Honeywell Vista programming: Basement Watchdog Backup Su

There's one thing you need to be aware of to make this sump pump zone to alert you even when the system is not armed. Use eyez-on zone following and make the new zone a partition 2 zone. I'm doing neither of these things and my sump pump zone alerts me just fine via the EVL3 whether or not the alar...

Re: Change wording for closing and opening

I second this suggestion. Now let's see if anything changes.
