Is the TPI correctly documented?

Hi

I have a question regarding the Envisalink API. Isn't there a ARM AWAY option WITH CODE as on the DSC 5500 panel?

This is what I can see...

Using 5500 panel
Panel Press ------ DSC buss sends out ------ explanation
Press F2 -------- 65210 ------------------ 652 = Partition armed, 1 = Partition 1, 0 = Armed AWAY
pin code -------- 65210 ------------------ 652 = Partition armed, 1 = Partition 1, 0 = Armed AWAY




Sending to API from LUA code
Send from LUA ------ DSC buss sends out ------ explanation
0301 -------------- 65210 ------------------ 652 = Partition armed, 1 = Partition 1, 0 = Armed AWAY
Partition Arm Control

0311 -------------- 65211 ------------------ 652 = Partition armed, 1 = Partition 1, 1 = Armed STAY
Partition Arm Control – Stay Arm

0331 + code ------- 65211 ------------------- 652 = Partition armed, 1 = Partition 1, 1 = Armed STAY
Partition Arm Control – With Code


What I would expect is that code 033 "Partition Arm Control – With Code" would set the DSC alarm in AWAY mode, but it does not. So there is two ways to set the DSC alarm into STAY mode. One with and one without a code. But there is only a no code option for AWAY and no AWAY WITH CODE.

Have I misunderstood something?

If you don't breach an exit zone while arming with a code, the DSC alarm panel will always go into STAY mode. It has nothing to do with the Envisalink, it is just how the DSC panel behaves.

Ahhhh.

So if the front door is open while arming with code it goes into AWAY mode? That explains it. Because I am damn sure it went into AWAY mode earlier with "033 + part + pin" sent. The the last times the door was closed and I was trying to arm from outside. Then the code 65211 (part 1 STAY) came back instead of 65210 (part 1 AWAY). So if I always want to force AWAY I have to send code 030 with no code.


I could not find that in the DSC docs.

Many thanks...
