@james.wilson This is what I’m planning to use this for, we use the part set at night just to arm the ground floor - so being able to distinguish between the full set and part set enables me to tie automation in to the house being vacant and to only the upstairs being occupied (eg turn everything off on the ground floor vs turn the whole house off).
Ive configured push notifications for armed state and alarm activation but also additional capability such as when the alarm is triggered all lights turn on inside and outside the house and I get a notification with stills from all my cameras. There’s a lot of possibilities here.
I’m interfacing via a Konnected Interface device (konnected.io) to Hubitat (HA controller). This also enables me to use all my wired PIR sensors and door sensors fitted for the alarm as motion sensors directly (eg) for lighting automation.
cool stuff

It's been a while... I was pretty clear with my instructions and the logic table in the post, how you utilise it will depend on what your connecting it to.
It's probably simpler to just put a more capable panel in.
Apologies, I don’t know what happened with the quote, I seem to have ended up selecting the wrong part of your original response.
I have the panel hooked up to my automation system and able to set/unset, capture status and when the alarm is activated but this is the one thing that i’d like another shot at getting working before i swap out the panel.
“You would have to remove the strobe wire and trigger it with the bell trigger”. It’s specifically this that Im not sure about, when you say to trigger it with bell trigger, what do you mean and why trigger it with the bell? so that it turns on with the siren too? What does disconnecting the strobe wire do? Does it just result in the strobe not being automatically activated when the alarm is set (unless its configured to strobe on full set)?
Thanks again for your help

The only messy workaround I can suggest would require to use some external logic
Please could you expand on what you mean here ? I can locate the STB power terminals but is that what you mean?

@sixwheeledbeast Just got to testing this out and it does seem to work. Thanks again for the creative work around! I will take a look at the Premier panel though - I’m going to need to add some additional zones anyway so will need to upgrade. But this serves the purpose for now.
@MrHappyThanks for the unsolicited financial advice - but all good there. Thanks
