Hi,
I just installed my EnvisaLink yesterday and so far I'm very impressed with it. One thing that struct me as strange was the wording in the events I get. ex:
Security Event: Opening By User Code 2
Security Event: Stay Arming by User Code 2
Security Event: Zone 21 Alarm Restoral
Security Event: Zone 21 Alarm
You have to admit that its not a very user friendly message (whats "user code 2" mean). Having installed it myself I can do the conversion to their meanings but the rest of my family (who would also get the messages) do not.
I read in an old post (Jan 2015) that other users had concerns with the wording as well but Eyez-On was using exactly what was passed in from the alarm system and changing it would be problematic. It would be very nice to be able to configure the Eyez-On portal to convert these messages to something more user friendly (perhaps even a different language).
Any chance of that happening?
Regards

In your example, user code 2 is who armed/disarmed the system.Bruno wrote:
(whats "user code 2" mean).
On a Honeywell system user code 1 is the "Installer" code which is default = 4112, and user code 2 is the "System Master" code which is default = 1234.

Re: configurable event wording in messages
You probably missed the Envisalink primer which explains how to customise your labels.

See section 9 on labeling users, zones, and partitions.
Make sure you read this as it explains most things about your new module.

Re: configurable event wording in messages
Yup thats mostly it. I had hoped to be able to configure the other portions of the events as well, but a configured user code, partition and zone label will help a lot.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Re: configurable event wording in messages
There is an architectural change that is being worked on that will allow the alerts to be in other languages but there is no allowance for individual messages. Such a feature would be a huge undertaking from the database side of this as I am told.
