Newbie questions

I just installed EVL-4EZ and got it configured properly with my panel. Sorry, these might have been answered already but I couldn't find any anything on my search results.
1. Is there a way to arm/disarm from the Mobile app without entering the code? Sort of like a one touch arm/disarm? And if not, why not?
2. Any references to integrate EnvisaLink with Google Home assistant?

Thanks much.

MikeP's DSCServer https://www.google.co.za/url?sa=t&rct=j ... YK9ZS-7jnt is what you are after - it takes an already great product (the EVL range) and makes it a damn awesome product.

Though his app running on an old android phone you an do everything you are asking for. There is a option to have the alarm system controlled via a google sheet sitting on google drive. Then just configure your google assistant to add lines to this sheet (via IFTTT) and you will have voice activated alarm system at your fingertips, I mean voicebox.

He has also released a new widget for your phone which acts just like the DSC remote's, a button on the home page that represents a partition on your alarm, if it is red that partition is armed, green it is ready, touch it to change from armed to disarmed etc... So you now have a DSC remote that can be used anywhere in the world that has internet access and is a lot faster than using the web interface.
