duck_man Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 HC-800 on 2.6, using Honeywell CBM with Vista20p, after updating to 2.6 all of my windows, doors, glassbreaks, etc are reporting the reverse of what they should be. If I look in Locks & Sensors, for example the garage overhead door will show as being open, even though it is not. If I go open the door then close it, then is shows correctly. Easy to fix with doors, but the glassbreaks, CO, smoke, etc. are all doing this and it is a real pain to try to trip them all so they will report correctly. What's going on?

chicagoskiguy Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 After controller reboot I believe all contacts show open no matter the actual state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Yep, open, sometimes all closed - depends on the driver/model. This is nothing abnormal, and yes it's annoying.In the end the problem lies in the fact that the panel itself doesn't report the status until it's been changed and not all panels respond to polling either (plus polling brings it's own downside from a system perspective) - there are some exceptions to this but very few.

chicagoskiguy Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Actually I have garage door contacts directly into the controller and same thing... reboot and the doors show open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Correct, THAT part is a bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duck_man Posted November 11, 2014 Author Share Posted November 11, 2014 So after a controller reboot - which happens frequently here as I constantly tinker with everything, I need to reset every sensor, somehow? Seems like a problem. I'm not going to be able to do that. Is there an easier eway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Nope. Not easier. There are SOME systems that fix this themselves (HAI I believe is one), you can add relays to each sensor and trigger them that way to fix them - but that's not easier, it may also not be allowed. Understandc that this affects DISPLAY of sensors only, not the actual programming state generally speaking. (generally - I suspect some 'while open/closed programming could be problematic, though I recommend to avoid using 'while' at any rate). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
