Installer code from Ad2pi switches panel to Busy/Standby

[gibonz]

Hi

I've got Ademco Vista 21i with 6162RF keypad and AD2PI with the latest firmware. It seems to talk to the panel but when I enter the installer code (NNNN + 800) the panel resets and gets stuck in Busy/Standby and the only way to make it alive again is remove power and battery.

Code: Select all

V

(stuck here forever...)


Looks like the installer code is accepted but immediately it goes to Busy/Standby and I can do no more. Entering the same sequence (NNNN+800) from the 6162RF keypad works.

What's wrong? Can it be some setting somewhere in Vista? Or some signalling problem between AD2PI and Vista?

Thanks!

Nothing wrong here

The problem you are seeing is normal. You have multiple partitions setup and you are seeing alternating partitions message from programming mode to busy.

You just need to make sure your Ad2Pi or your AlarmDecoder App programs understand what partition you want to look at and ignore the others.

It wont repeat "Installer Code" or other programming messages but it will repeat the busy messages.

Try filtering out only keypad address 18 the one you are entering programming mode from. The other messages are being sent to keypad 19 if I did my math right.

I have changed by Ad2Pi to be a keypad only for Zone 1 (in *191 - 1 - 0) and now it seems to work.
Thanks for the hint!
