azkid Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 I have my vista20p connected to Control4 using the serial cable adapter and the residential driver. I purchased a few Honeywell tilt sensors for the garage doors to integrate into the garage door driver as sensors. When I installed them on my vista panel I used *189 to create a custom zone type 90 that would only trigger the alarm when the alarm was in night (instant) mode. The reason for this is I don’t want the alarm going off when I pull into the garage and I can only set an entry delay of 99seconds which if my wife has groceries or kids doing things might not be enough time. It looks like when using the type 90 custom zone it won’t show up as a zone in control4. It works fine if I set it to zone type 2 or 3 (entry/exit). Is there a way to get custom zones types to show up on Control4? If not anyone have other ideas to have it work as an alarm at night, and with Control4?

tylamb19 Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 I know this is a super old post, but did you ever figure this out? I have a water sensor that I assigned to Zone Type 90 so that it would go into alarm but would not trigger the siren, just the keypad beeper when the system is armed, and trouble when the system is disarmed, as well as send the correct codes for water detection when in alarm/trouble and it won't show up in C4. It shows up if I set it to a standard type though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanITman Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Here is how I got around it, you can program in zone type 23 (No Alarm Response). This will allow you to bring the sensor in. Then you can control when and what you want to alarm via programming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes sense, but I still want an alarm or trouble response from the panel if the sensor detects water. That way it will report to central monitoring even if I am out of the house. I guess I could just have C4 send a push notification etc instead but that gives a bit of ambiguity whereas the alarm/trouble will be acknowledged by the central monitoring company and they would call me immediately.
