The answer I got is the DSC panels simply do not support that sort of automation functionalty. There simply is no way to tell the ESCORT5880 to "turn on automation item 2," etc from the alarm panel from a keyboard or through any other module.
What feature I would like to see is if you do a keypad broadcast the D2S would pick it up and update the online account automatically.

Re: New Feature Requests
Could a feature of turning on/off door chime be available?

Re: New Feature Requests
Two requests for you guys on the mobile portal;
1. For the "PGM" toggle box having the ability to have a drop down list of selections that can be labeled similar to the way the drop down partition button is now being done. Sometimes I forget which PGM number does what and I have to check the contact notes I've made in my address book as a reminder.
2. Ability to eliminate the arm/disarm without code buttons for those who have programmed the system to require a code when arming.
Thanks!

Re: New Feature Requests
I would like the ability to change the user name. I believe both user name and password should be 12 character.
Re: New Feature Requests
The lowest warm temperature setting in the dropdown box is 59 degrees F.
For vacation cabin would like to set the temp lower. Request extend possible setting to low 40's - for completeness might as well make it 32 - I highly doubt anyone would want to set the warm temperature below that.
Thanks.

Re: New Feature Requests
There's a safety limitation in the EMS-100 and I think it is 10 degrees (~50F). We set it at 15 but I guess we could move it down to 10.

Re: New Feature Requests
Ok, this has been changed.
There is a lower limit on the EMS-100 of 5 degrees C (~42F). We've changed the portal so you can chill your vacation cabin down to that. Enjoy.

Re: New Feature Requests
You stated "We're going to open a "virtual keypad" entry on the portal soon so you can do what you're asking shortly".
Is this available? If so, how do I use it? (I've looked and can't find it).
If it's not available, consider this another vote to somehow control x-10 devices.
Thanks.

Re: New Feature Requests
Greetings all. been thrilled with the 2DS so far. I wont repeat some of the requests on this thread, but some big votes for me is Escort X-10 control and PGM labeling and PGM control above numerical 9.
Also, if we could have more options for notifications and or consolidation of events/status. I sometimes arm 2 partitions and thus receive 6 SMS messages/emails as a result. I realize some need the detailed info on such events, but I am so flooded with general emails and SMS as I'm sure many others are. Would love to see an option to tell me that the system is simply armed in ONE notification. Would be nice if that would indicate HOME or AWAY, but that's not so important. Or a consolidation of status into 1 email/SMS.
As an example, when I arm I get 3 separate notifications:
1) Security Event: Quick Arm (*0, *9).
2) Security Event: Special Closing
3) Security Event: Away Arm Mode
And, of course, this will be duped for multiple partitions.
Would be helpful on the mobile app page if the DEVICES can be at the top or near the top, perhaps above Recent Events so that one does not have to scroll down on the phone screen every time to press the device play button. Thus, when the page loads one can quickly access the device with a single touch.
Also. on the main website for the account, left column, if the DETAILS link (font) could be made larger. It's too tiny and competes with the DELETE link. Once I accidentally clicked on delete. The DELETE link should really be somewhere else (not immediately next to another link), perhaps next to the Device name. (BTW:Using Firefox)
Many thanks!

Re: New Feature Requests
fix4all et al:
We're open to suggestions but we know of no way to control X-10 devices from the keypad other than assigning them to PGMs, and then assigning Command Output (*71, *72, *73, *74) to them. This has already been inplemented on both the portal and the mobile portal.
If anyone knows of another way we will certainly try and implement something.
With respect to extra events, the events that are sent are not directly under our control, these are generated by the panel. There are thousands of them and we're not in a position to start classifying then other than the broad classifications that we have now.
Thanks for the feedback
