Night Arm a DSC1616 with EnvisaLink4?
Posted: Tue Jan 04, 2022 8:01 pm
Hi,
I have a DSC1616 and am remote controlling it with the EnvisaLink4 through the TPI API.
I got everything working fine except that I am missing a "Night Arm" mode. I believe there is no built-in Night Arm mode in the DSC1616/EVL4, right?
As a work-around I'd like to arm the system in "Stay" mode while bypassing the bedroom windows.
This sounded easy to do on paper with the TPI API, until I realized that there is no designated command to enable/disable/check zone bypasses.
All I could find is that I apparently have to use the 071 command to send some custom key strokes?
I read in some other forum post that I can send to query all bypass states of partition 1, or send to bypass zone 04 for example.
However, I tried doing that and it didn't seem to work. Quite the opposite actually since my system was all of a sudden armed in "Away Arm"?!
What's the most proper way to implement this?
Is there some more documentation about the keystrokes of the 071 command somewhere? What exactly are those keystrokes I am sending there?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

I read in some other forum post that I can send
Code: Select all
0711*1#
Code: Select all
0711*104#
