If they jump up on windowsills etc within 2 metres of the pir then false alarms will occur. Pet sensors do not cure all ills (salesmen/ surveyors) will say otherwise. If the client absolutley wants the pets to have free roam then contacts on all perimeter doors/ windows and then confirmedl intervention visual or acoustic via the ARC? Lots of money. It's a compromise. I would rather if they had pets then focus on a decent security system and keep the pets in the kitchen.

There is an answer on the Texecom website, something to do with you have to assign the ccts to both areas. I've a similar problem. I need a final door set on full set, silent set on night part arm but timed, and then another part arm but as in full set but without a particular cct. Mind f@ck.

The NAPCO thing is a form of ACE so compliant in my eyes to set/ unset? Being able to tell the state of the system through a 3rd party app is something you need to ask NSI? A lot of things are determined by whether it is for insurance/ police response etc.

Bell squark/ strobe flash on set is ok according to NSI as it is just a momentary indication. There was a time when this was interpreted as not acceptable, but then apparently NSI said it was ok. All about interpretation. You can tell the outside world that you have set the alarm with a bell chirp or strobe on set, but it has to be momentary. Strange though that keypads have to shut down so as to not show armed state, according to NSI, but it's acceptable to tell everybody around the area with a bell chirp/ strobe flash that you have just armed ( or not, more to the point) the alarm system. As with most things in our industry, not thought through.
