  1. Hi guys. I'm installing my new Reson8 bell box and I have wired the wiring into the control panel (Honeywell flex) as per the instructions but there was no +12v in the terminal block for the bell in the panel so I put that wire into the intellibus +12v terminal just above it. The bell box has been installed on the wall with the cable fed through but it's not been wired up yet as the weather changed. But I did test the tamper wires and that worked and thought I would read +12v from that one. I thought the bell monitored for power loss so presumed the 12v would be permanent am I right or wrong. Thanks.
  2. I like the sound of that ? I was hoping for some way besides Konnected to link my Flex into my SmartThings. I was hoping I could do it a similar way to a standard 12v doorbell I have. So I have a Xiaomi ZigBee push button thats on my SmartThings setup and it has contacts on that replicates the button been pressed, so I connect them to the led on the bell receiver so when the bell goes of it activates the button and then I can do what I want with that within SmartThings. I wouldn't know where to start with the flex I just followed a guide to do the bell.
  3. Ah yeah you've got a point there about the keypad being visible didn't think about that. I'll have another look in the display settings see if I've missed it. Thanks
  4. Hi. I've been testing my Galaxy flex 20 still and everything seem to be working fine now and arms/disarms fine etc. Can I edit what is displayed on the keypad banner at the moment it's just showing the model name and number. And also when the alarm is armed is there a way of having it display on the keypad that it's armed ? I've looked through the manual but can't see any mention. Cheers
  5. Thanks, No there's no specific area I need separate. I'll leave that alone then
  6. I didn't want to spam the forum with new posts. I don't really have any requirements just saw him talking about it so thought I'd ask.
  7. Hi @tinnitus I was thinking of setting groups up on mine but couldn't see what benefit I would get. It's it only really helpful if you have a keypad upstairs, I'm only having them downstairs at each door.
  8. I've just looked at the old installation manual for the version 1 firmware and it does recommend to use Belden on that one. So they've changed it for some reason. On the updated manual it says use Belden if over 100m
  9. Ah yeah I think I read it wrong its in the Peripheral devices section.
  10. Thanks I'm starting the understand things now. I like your explanation it's so simple even I understand it. Yeah that diagram was what I got sent by someone which confused me as it contradicted everything I'd been reading.
  11. That town has changed from the email notification I got I do have a dog who likes to sleep and not notice anything or anyone lol By the way are these Pet immune sensors a gimmick or do they actually work for dogs.
  12. Thanks for the info guys. Yeah i realise there's more to it then I thought . I naively thought the connections would be similar to what the kepad was A to A, B to B etc Can I double check with you guys, I asked the question at the same time on a Facebook group and someone suggested putting the resistors inline and not into the connections on the sensor is that how you would do it ? I'm talking to him through Google translate so thought it would be a bit tricky to ask him. He sent me this picture.
  13. Thanks. I'm not great with this can I just check, You are basically saying I can use either of the zone connections as long as the resistors are right in the sensor ? Can I also ask you about the diagram above, it shows the -V joining one of the alarm wires on the sensor side and then onto the 0V on the panel.. Is that the normal way of doing it then
  14. Thanks I have bought alarm cable just waiting for it being delivered. Although the manual does recommend Cat5 cable. Although I've only ordered 4 core as I thought that's all I need.
