Envisalink EVL3 started to give me issues

Post by stephanieking »

Hello,
After several years of being nothing but a solid option for my DSC alarm system, my EVL3 is now giving me a “high pocket loss warning”, delay in getting live data into homeassistant (ie I manually disarm but hass still shows as armed), can’t access it locally via IP, several disconnects. It’s just became useless.

Anyone had the same issues? What’s a good alternative to Envisalink? Is the EVL4 a wise upgrade?

It sounds like the NIC on the EVL3 is going if you have both local and remote packet loss. The last EVL3 was made in 2012 so your board is at least 15 years old. Time for an upgrade for sure.
