DTxAg Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 My system somehow decided to perform a rolling reboot of all touchscreens during the middle of the night. Everyone in the house got woken up by the "beep-beep-beep" tweeting noise that the T3 touchscreens make when rebooting. Is there any way to disable the sound the T3s make when rebooting? I don't think the "play doorbell chime" option in Composer HE is the right option, and I don't see anything else that might let me do this.

mujtaba.khokhar Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Do you have your alarm linked into to your c4? It could have been the beeps from that? Also do you know why they rebooted in the middle of the night? Did you have a power outage? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgreenf Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 I've never had a t3 make any noise on reboot. I just rebooted one for giggles not a sound mujtaba.khokhar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mujtaba.khokhar Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 I've never had a t3 make any noise on reboot.

mujtaba.khokhar Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 sorry i wasn't clear enough. this was the setting i was referring to. "Panel Chime" sorry for the confusion Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Africa C4 user Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Panel chime on the alarm sounds like the most likely culprit... but that probably means that more than just the Touchscreens rebooted... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTxAg Posted April 18, 2020 Author Share Posted April 18, 2020 My C4 system isn’t connected to my alarm system. The touchscreens have always beeped like this. One lower beep, one middle beep, one upper beep whenever the touchscreen reboots. It occurs on the grey screen before the touchscreen connects to the EA5 controller to get the room assignment. Not sure what caused it last night, but it was almost like a rolling update where each touchscreen would go down and reboot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTxAg Posted April 18, 2020 Author Share Posted April 18, 2020 So the sound is actually being played right after the touchscreen connects to the EA5 controller and displays the wallpaper for the room. You can hear the intercom/speaker make two clicking noises (maybe turning on and off for a self-test) and then it plays the sounds. I've attached an audio file where you can hear the two clicks and then the beeps. It does this for every touchscreen I have. When I reboot the entire system, you can hear all the touchscreens coming online at slightly different times by the beeps.

Gary Leeds UK Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 When we reboot the controller and the T3 connect to network all our give out two bleeps ~ But I think it’s to do with commutations agent and DS2 ~ if they do not bleep they still work ~ but the intercom does not work to that T3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveC4 Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Just rebooted a 10” T3 for fun - no beeps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTxAg Posted April 19, 2020 Author Share Posted April 19, 2020 Unfortunately mine does, and I have no idea where to find the setting to turn it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin L Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 The beeping noise is the audio calibration for the mics in the touch screen. go to intercom - settings and turn off echo calibration. msgreenf, WhyPhy, South Africa C4 user and 1 other 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTxAg Posted April 19, 2020 Author Share Posted April 19, 2020 Kevin, some of the intercoms did have "echo cancellation" disabled, but none of the intercoms had "echo calibration" turned on. Most of my intercoms have the options for enabling or disabling echo calibration/cancellation greyed out so that I can't pick either one. Not sure what that means. EDIT: I just enabled "echo calibration" in a room that did have the ability to enable it, and I immediately heard the same beeps. So Kevin is right, it's the "echo calibration" feature that's causing the beeping. Most of my intercoms don't have the ability to turn on or turn off that feature, as the "echo calibration" and "disable echo cancellation" options are both greyed out in Composer Home. What I was able to do was pick an intercom that had the "echo calibration" and "disable echo cancellation" options selectable, select the "disable echo cancellation" option, and use the "apply to" button to apply the settings to all intercoms. Even though most intercoms had no ability select the "disable echo cancellation" option, this apparently forced all intercoms to disable that feature. Many thanks.

THE L1ZARD KING Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 I'm having a slightly different problem, all of my T3's have the echo chime settings unchecked and greyed out in HE. However, just one of them plays the 3 beep echo calibration on startup. I tried using the "apply to..." button to apply the settings from a T3 that doesn't perform the calibration but no dice.
