DSC 1832
Posted: Sat Sep 08, 2018 11:47 amThe alarm decoder doesn't seem to play very well with the DSC 1832 panel
Issues are:
1) The keypad module doesn't show the message on the keypad. You have to go to the log to see that
2) The deduplicate option in setup alarm decoder doesn't make any difference- the log remains full of duplicate messages which can make it very difficult to use
3) The keypad doesn't emulate the <> keys that DSC needs to scroll through some of the menus
4) The log Tab only seems to accept 0-9 , * and # so you cant scroll through there either
I was hoping to use this to troubleshoot a remote alarm system but with the limitations above it is not a great deal of use- what can be done to implement the <> keys please (and ideally get the "Dot Matrix" emulation working)
