Hi, I have a comofort panel which must be about 18 years old now and still going strong. I presume its a comfort 1, not sure. Any how's I wish to add a remote to arm / disarm the unit and if I recall correctly when I installed it there was an option to add a key switch arm/disarm. I'm presuming I could link it this but is there any info anywhere about adding the key switch and do I need to go into the programming of he unit? Thanks for your help |

Connect the key switch to any zone and program it as Switch Nornally Open Zone Type Assign one of the default responses Momentary switch Keyarm/Disarm to Away mode If SecurityMode = SecurityOff Then If AlarmState < Alert Then KeyswitchArm NightMode End If Else KeyswitchArm SecurityOff End If Momentary switch Keyarm/Disarm to Away mode If SecurityMode = SecurityOff And AlarmState < Alert Then KeyswitchArm AwayMode Else KeyswitchArm SecurityOff End If |

Hi SlyChiu, I have just programmed the comfort with this and when I try shorting the zone 11 and common I get the Please exit and countdown but if I don't exit it goes back into security off. How could I have it so that when using the keypad I need to exit but if using the key switch I don't need to exit and it still arms? Regards Dave |

See the different ways of arming to Away Mode here http://www.comfortforums.com/forum125/2367.html If you want to arm to away mode without having to exit, use the action "Auto arm Away" instead of "Key switch arm away mode" |
