Just something I noticed, upgrading firmware doesn't give the option to Set Comfort Time. You have to set it again after the firmware upgrade. Also, is there a newer Action Code document available describing the Action 152 command? I would like to know the changes made to it from previous release. Ingo |

The action codes latest document can be downloaded from http://www.cytech.biz/product_details.php?item_id=147 The date and time have to be updated manually, as Comfort is reset after the upgrade so needs time to wake up |

Re: Disallow disarm by SMS (10) for security reasons. Is this an option which can be set in the configuration file, or mandatory? If so, why, as the command can only be accepted if the text comes from one of the programmed mobile numbers. Thanks |

There has been some debate about this issue We may have to add an option or re-introduce the disarm feature Any other comments from others? |

Not sure what the security reasons would be to remove it. IT only works with programmed mobile numbers, so that is a bit of security. Unless if someone want to only send SMSes and not allow control from the programmed mobile numbers. In that case an additional flag or Action should be added to maybe dis-allow some of the programmed mobile numbers instead of taking the feature away. I guess I will not be upgrading my firmware till then  |

Noted Are you sure when you use (10) and there is an alarm, that it is safe to disarm? |

ident wrote:Noted True, one should not. The only time that I did that, was when I was not in the house and I had an a visitor who caused an alarm, I only used (10) after confirming via the phone that all was well. It will never be a good idea to disarm remotely while there is an alarm, not knowing what is happening on the premises. This includes via the phone/dial-in or any other way.

There doesn't need to be an alarm to want to disarm. I have used the (10) SMS to disarm the unit when I am close to home and want to save time. |

IMHO I think you should be able to arm and disarm normally via GSM given that you have to enter your code AND you can setup so that only known/approved handsets can access. Disarming from an alarm condition, hmmm, maybe this could be a setting in config as to whether allowed or not via SMS? Would it be useful to have on the different alarm types so some you could disarm and some you couldn't? J |

I use (10) to disarm all the time. Especially, I have a holiday house and I disarm to allow cleaners or works men in. Please do not remove it, or at least make it configurable. |

I too use disarm by SMS when I am away from the premises for extended periods, both to permit access and to deal with false alarms. (I can verify the lack of intruder via CCTV.) I guess the (hopefully temporary) fix is to put a disarm response in the control menu. Making disarm by SMS a configurable option would be useful to me. |
