- The actual DSC panel does not get updated unless "panel time" has drifted by more than 2 minutes. Depending on your model of panel and attached peripherals, the Envisalink's knowledge of "panel time" could be off seconds to minutes over a day. I can't get into the details but it is in the nature of their architecture. As I said before, this feature is just meant to keep the LCD time in the correct timezone and to reset the time on a power failure.

- You don't

- no, we don't use this time at all so there is no point.

- I dunno, maybe like 10ms?

Could you provide an API that could be called supplying the master code? I have plenty of Rasperry Pis laying around that could call it with the code to trigger the time update. Then the user would be responsible for storing the code, not the envisalink.
