EVL4 not reporting zone status correctly
Posted: Wed Dec 19, 2018 8:34 am
Hi,
I'm a new EVL4 owner with a Vista 20p panel.
It seems like the EVL4 isn't reporting zone status over the tpi link correctly and I'm hoping someone can help me out.
If a second zone is faulted within around 30 seconds of another closing, the EVL reports both zones are open.
For example, if I open my front door, it says front door zone open. Door closed then reports that zone as closed. I open my back door next, and it reports back door and front door open, even though the front door is closed. When the back door is closed, it then reports both zones as closed. If I reopen the back door it only reports the back door as open (front door stays reported as closed, as it should). Next, if I move to another zone, for example trip a motion sensor, it reports the motion sensor and back door are open. When there's no movement, everything returns to closed. When the motion sensor is tripped again, EVL only reports motion sensor as open.
Here's the tcp output I'm getting when only zone 6 is tripped
%02,0300000000000000$[C][L]%01,30000000000000000000000000000000$[C][L]%00,01,0008,06,00,FAULT 06 GARAGE ENTRY $[C][L]
but the output %01,30000000000000000000000000000000$[C][L]
is saying both zones 5 & 6 are open.
Can anyone help me with this problem? Is it a configuration issue in the 20p?
Thanks.
