U tube helped bigtime with regard to my job and other things...

Thank you. Very helpful as always I will be doing this over the weekend.

Quick question can dc power run 75m to power the led's or will i get too much voltage drop and rather should i put a secondary power supply in my garage rather than try feed it off the alarm panel in the house.

[@ecologicaltime]

for LEDs 75meters is fine, if you use quality cable (copper) you should have no issues.

[@hencoannandale5895]

Done and dusted. Thank you once again for an awesome explanation. Enjoy Ecologicaltime projects.

Excellent video.

Please do a tutorial on how to use the programmable outputs on 805

Hi! I’m trying to figure out why my alarm forces me to bypass my outside beams before arming? We want the beams on and connected to the alarm system but cannot see how to do that. The alarm says “not ready to arm” with the outside beams zone number. Thanks so much for your help.

Thanks for the video, is it possible to program an output to give 12V when alarm is ready? I want to connect a relay to allow me to see if alarm is ready via relay action.

[@wianbotha5979]

Hi, can i add a Led without a relay? I just need to show when ita arm on on stay arm. Do i then need a resistor ?

[@plonkster]

Sadly I don't have the nice LCD panel. I have the simpler panel. I've programmed Paradox and Texecom alarms myself but this one has me a little stumped. Trying to set one of the programmable outputs to follow so I can read that with an ESP8266 WiFi chip (through an opto-coupler) to incorporate into homeassistant.

[@plonkster]

Aaah nevermind. If I read it properly in binary it says "34" which is the PGM output on the first keypad. Seems I can only have one output assigned to this event. That's a pity.

Hi my alarm led turns green on away arm only but not stay arm. How do you activate to turn on for stay arm as well?

[@ecologicaltime]

it is shown in this video

[@caswellndlhovu8990]

Hi, I also have the same issue, away armed is fine, but stay armed does not activate the output, is there some additional config for 12V on the output? I also need a 12V output for chime zones so I can trigger my Google speakers to announce if I have someone outside the house.

Does anyone sell this premade and ready to install?
