Yale SmartHome Alarm

Hi Guys,


Yale SmartHome Alarm Problems

I have been having terrible problems with setting up my SmartHome system.

I did seem to be getting on well by testing system and Zone/Sensors but then whenever I tried to set the alarm it automatically went into alarm mode after the countdown. I could not figure out the cause so in the end deleted all of the zones in order to identify the culprit. I never did find out as ended up deleting them all and starting all over again.

Trouble is that as soon as I add a single zone it just goes to alarm mode.

SO I have been trying to reset the whole system using instructions from Engineers programming manual but I believe that they are wrong as is the case in other areas of the manual. Having disconnected battery for control panel and the reconnected it you press the up key twice almost immediately after connecting transformer power supply to control panel and seeing TEST MODE then you are supposed to do two or four sets of up & down keys to clear but it does not work - the first up instruction just turns the alarm off or some times Done It So Many) I end up with the hands free setting.

Any ideas from Yale Guy3 or other members will be appreciated

Kind regards Malcolm

You may have the same problem i did. The alarm, by default, is set up to need you to open and shut a door while the countdown is taking place. Its so you are "leaving the house". You can turn it off in the settings somewhere (although i cant remember where).
When i had this, it would countdown, then the alarm would go off and it would come up with some error and ask me if i wanted to override.
