SeanT Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Hello, I’m new to the site, installed my Agility system about 4 or 5 years ago and just recently got broken into, anti snap locks now fitted!!! i have just added the gsm module so I can be texted when the alarm goes off but i can’t find where I set which number it should call (my number), it’s all working as I can text the sim and set/unset the alarm but that’s not really why I got it. I have a feeling it under the follow me menu but when I try going into the menu it displays “Not Available”, anyone got any suggestions before I contact Risco tech help and make myself look a fool?

SeanT Posted September 30, 2018 Author Share Posted September 30, 2018 It does only text but it needs a number to send the text to, I can’t find where I set this number which would be my mobile number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanT Posted September 30, 2018 Author Share Posted September 30, 2018 Managed to enable follow me which had opened up a number of menus but still can’t find where I set the follow me phone number which I assume is the number the agility calls to send the sms to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeanT Posted October 1, 2018 Author Share Posted October 1, 2018 Got it sorted, it’s in the user Manual rather than the engineer Manual, just in case anyone else has the problem this is how it’s done: You send the following text to the sim in your alarm. code FMPHONE n NEW number code is the user code for arming alarm. n is the follow me number, I used 1. number is the number you want texting.

That's great to know - I just installed a GSM module too. Waiting for my giffgaff sim to arrive. What SIM do you use? Also can you add multiple Follow Mes for the text e.g: code FMPHONE n NEW number 1234 FMPHONE 1 NEW 07123456789 (FOR ME THE GRAND MASTER) 4321 FMPHONE 2 NEW 07912345678 (FOR USER 2 - THE WIFES PIN) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeanT Posted October 20, 2018 Author Share Posted October 20, 2018 ok, I think you need to go into engineers menu using * 0132 Then go into programming # Then system # then controls # the communications # Fm enable half unlock symbol (y/n) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also want my cloud connection to use IP first / then GPRS if IP not available - I saw the setting for that in: Programming > Communication > Cloud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a question about arming, I know the GSM is working as it is giving me a status message by text, however when I do an ARM or HOME ARM command: 1234 A OR 1234 H It does nothing, No message from panel - checked panel still showing Ready and I did "1234 ST" for status message - got SMS from GSM module that the system is Ready. Does your SMS arming work? Did you have to do anything else? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanT Posted October 23, 2018 Author Share Posted October 23, 2018 I think you’re using the wrong commands to set and unset your alarm, you should be using S to set and US to unset so if your code is 1234 then you would use 1234 S to set and 1234 US to unset (I don’t think it’s case sensitive and you can omit the space if you want to). There is a list of commands in the user manual. Hope this help 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this help That is awesome mate - just tried your commands and they work - S for SET and US for UNSET Do you know the command for Part Set - I assume 1234 PS? I am looking at my manual dated June 2013 which informs us to use A FOR ARM, H FOR PART ARM, D FOR DISARM....which is obviously incorrect... Do you know where I can get the latest User Manual from?

SeanT Posted October 23, 2018 Author Share Posted October 23, 2018 Glad it worked, I think its just P for part set, have a look at the list below: I'll see if i can find a link to the update manual for you 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeanT Posted October 23, 2018 Author Share Posted October 23, 2018 (edited) There are various versions of the user manual that have slightly different commands, such as A and H for arming and disarming (as you found out). The manual I have uploaded is as close to my original paper copy as I could find, however, it is slightly different but for most things it should be ok. Risco_Agility_User_Manual.pdf Heres a link I found that matches my manual dated 2012, the previous one is 2009: https://irp-cdn.multiscreensite.com/a1d869e9/files/uploaded/Agility-2-Full-User-Manual-UK1.pdf Edited October 23, 2018 by SeanT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxX Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Hello guys, I have a Risco Agility 3 with IP and GSM - both comms working fine. I have defined two Follow Me (FM), 1 = Me via SMS and 2 = The Wife via SMS also. I as FM1 get all SMS for events defined no probs. However, FM2 (i.e. The wifes phone) does not get anything - her phone is defined correctly - FM test successful (she gets a text) and she can set/unset via sms no probs. Is this by design perhaps, that the system tries the FM numbers in order and if FM1 IS successful, i.e. a SMS was sent ok to FM1 THEN IT IGNORES ALL OTHER DEFINED FMs? If so then it's a bit silly, as we would both like to get SMS for all events defined. Any thought and ideas will be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
