Is there a way to do this? just wondering it would be a great way to get the kids out of bed for school if I have to go to work early
Re: remotley trigger alarm
Great Suggestion!!! I've been wanting and investigating this type of remote feature for a while... I would love for someone to come up with a remote alarm triggering idea?
Maybe you can somehow trigger the via walk test installer mode?

Yes this can be done, it is just nobody ever asked before.
I'll put it on the to-do list, strange as it may be ...

Re: remotley trigger alarm
While I wouldn't recommend it, there is a way you can do it now. (Depending on how your panel is configured)
Just connect one of your on-board programmable outputs to a zone using a piece of wire.
You can control them from the mobile interface and if you change the state of the PGM while the system is armed it will set off the alarm.

don't really think that's a good idea! if your in a populated area
as alarm sounds for neighbors
not a good idea .
do that and after a few times neighbors if they don't complain
at the least would ignore a 
possible real alarm 
and the alarm would loose that added effect of getting attention for a real alarm event!
remember its a Burg alarm and or fire\smoke not an overpriced alarm clock lol ( i know that part may only have been a bit of a joke, er i hope at least lol :
