I have a new DSC1832 system along with the Envisalink 3 module (I'm coming up on the learning curve for these components so bear with me ). I want to be able to have the system send me a text message when my driveway sensor activates. This would be independent of whether the DSC1832 system is in the alarm state or not. My driveway sensor is NC and I will have it wired to a wireless DSC WS4965 transceiver to activate the DSC1832. How should I program this transceiver in the DSC1832 to accomplish this?

Use the Zone Follower feature and set your contact to receive zone-follower alerts. So if your driveway is Zone 8, for example, set your zone follower to 8.

Thanks Wizard. On the DSC system, I would assume that I would define this zone as [26] 24-Hr Non-Alarm?

If you don't want it to be included in your partition's armed state then yes. Alternately you could assign it to its own partition which would give you the option of arming it in the future if you needed to. Depends on how you use it I guess.

That is an interesting thought on programming it on another partition. We could selective alarm it at night and if anyone comes up the drive the alarm would go off. During the day when we are not at home we would want it disabled for FedEx, mail delivery etc.
