Communication Signal Buffer?

I know that the DSC panels buffer communicator events. (ie If an event occurs during a TLM trouble, the event will be transmitted after the telephone line restores). Does the same hold true for the EnvisaLink?

For example... one of my EnvisaLink modules is at my vacation property and one of the zones is low-temp sensor. In the event that there was a low-temp alarm during a network outage, would I or the Eyez-On monitoring station (if the system was monitored) receive the alarm signal after the internet connection restored?

Also... any headway on a new thermostat control?

Thanks.

ps A great product!

Thanks for the feedback! I too think it is a great product :-)

Both the EnvisAlerts (free) and EnvisAlarms (subscribed) services have deep buffers for events so that nothing is lost in the event of power or service outage.

For the techies out there: Both services use a 128 event cyclic buffer with event prioritisation stored in completely non-volatile memory.
