are they encrypted sensors? also if i install them how do you enable and disable them is it via an app?
Hello, The two products our tech is displaying in this video are both Hardwired, no encryption required. Other Panels and Wireless sensors have the capability of using encrypted wireless sensors, and will vary between the panel and sensor being used, Check for panel and sensor compatibility prior to any purchase. Most Intrusion Sensors installed have the ability to be bypassed from the control panel being used prior to arming the system.
Thank you so much! I couldn't get the door sensors to work properly after the first few attempts. Turns out I had the loop setting to 1 instead of 2.
Hi, Glad our video was able to help solve your issue.
How about changing battery on sensor? Just fixed mine like that
Alarm Grid has various videos and FAQs on how to change batteries for different sensors. Is there a specific sensor you need?
Can u make a video on how to do hard wired zones for a 2GIG gcx
What a WORTHLESS video
I bought a house with the system plugged in. I don't know what the password is at the same time. I don't want to remove any sensors. What do I do?
There is another common duress code it is used as apanic if it is not monitored can be used it programme din the panel try 2580.
@@joshuagriffin2807 2580 did not work. They must have set a custom password. There's no way for me to find it out as the old landlord had rented this place. Can I do a complete reset without needing a password?
Thank you! Very clear and the backdoor method worked like a charm.
Happy we could help
Seems yall have done every video except what to do when the screen is blank. "Touching" the screen does nothing.
Has this information. changed over the last 5 years? I was hoping to add my motorized shades.
the IQ4 is still the same as the IQ2 in terms of programming
So if i do this homekit on my iphone i dont have to use the total connect 2.0 app anymore?
Some customers use Homekit instead of TC2 if they are ok with limitation of home kit to the system
@@joshuagriffin2807 so whats the benefits from using homekit over tc2? Is it more smooth? Faster? Better features?
Great video.
Glad you liked it!
Very helpful.
Glad to hear that.
Very Helpful ..... THANKS!
You're welcome!
Thank you.

Does the Qolsys panel automatically reset the smoke detector after the alarm has been silenced/turned off? I was able to enroll them just fine, but after I set them off, the panel wouldn’t clear the alarm. Thoughts?
Hello, If the smokes are wired into the 16F first prior to enrollment into the IQ panel, there is usually no issues with Triggering the Smoke alarm and restoring properly. If the smokes were added after the 16F was enrolled into the IQ panel undesired results can occur. Not triggering / restoring properly. It is best to remove the 16F from the IQ panel programming, then with everything still attached, re-enroll the 16F and configure the smoke zone again.
@@DKAlarmgridSupport Thanks. Have one more question… The smoke detectors in question are actually high voltage smoke detectors that have a low voltage 2 wire relay attached to them. Will they work on the 16F? They worked fine on the previous system which was a vista 20p.

Mine says “turn on”
None of the WiFi options pop up when I press connect
When you scan for the network it supposed to bring up the available net works then your select the network
Hi Lodi can you help me I added new board WAV 128BPT normally we had 2 key pads but only one is working now how do I add the 2nd one
Good day, in programming *93 then go to device programming. Enter open address press * in device type select 1 for alpha console then fill out keypad attributes. one done address thek eypad to that address.
Might use this in the future to help me replace my simplisafe at one point
How do you connect a strobe and can you do it with the IQ panel two
Couple of ways with a zwave light switch power supply. Program the zwave light switch to turn on durning an alarm then off ont he disarm which powers the aux poer then triggers the strobe.
What if u don’t have a code
That's great. Can you view playback through the panel like on the app?
Play back is not a feature of the IQ4
I can't turn the audio back on. No matter how many times I try to toggle it back on the moment i leave the menu it switches back to off. tried it on all the panels, still can't get it to turn back on. went into the advanced settings and toggled everything off and on again and it didn't fix it. very confused
After the reboot, just turns white again. No green light
Hi, Another troubleshooting step is to physically remove power after defaulting. Have you attempted to remove power for about 2 to 3 minutes then re-power the Camera? Usually holding the reset button until the LED goes white will allow for a default, try holding the button a little bit longer and see if that will help with the default process.
Didn’t help
Don’t forget to replace the screws!
hi i added a z-wave lock to my honeywell pro series panel and i am able to unlock/lock the device from panel, but i have no access to unlock it on my total connect 2.0 iphone app? I dont have scene or devices on my app. Any help tips would be appreciated.
@rexloser9608, In order for you to have Automation Devices and Scenes in Total Connect 2 (TC2), your current monitoring company would need to make sure you are enabled to have home automation available in TC2 for your account.
so now what, now that these have been discontinued with no replacement?
Going with the LTEM combo units they can be IP only as well.
Is there a way to turn off the green led lights completely? Not necessary for night mode
Yes, there is an option to disable the LED indicators. Use the drop down menu to go to "Settings", "Advanced Settings", Enter in the installer code (1111 is default), Tap "Installation", Press "Installer Settings", Search for "LED", using the search feature and then uncheck the box for "LED Indicators".
So tapping on the GB detector while jingling my truck keys isn’t the preferred method of testing? 😂 I’ve been using my Intellisense FG-701 for 25 years now. Still works!
The Key method is only effective for testing communication, Its best to use the Glass Break tester for proper location of the detector to the windows. Helps pin point if a window is properly covered.
can I add a ring glass break ( which is z-wave enabled) to honeywell home ?
The tuxedow has the logic to communicate to automation devices such as lock lights and thermostats.
@@joshuagriffin2807 thank you
@@manohardarla445 You're welcome
So I purchased a system that offered no monitoring? Now why didn't the rep tell me that when I pd the 2.5k to wire my house. I could have gone with comcast if that was the case. this is crazy. now when i call the service charge is 131 for the 1st hour and then additional charge after that.
What system did you buy from the company?
@@joshuagriffin2807 Josh, I apologize if is sounded like i purchased a system from Alarm Grid. I purchased a system thru a new build and the security company they subcontracted (HomePro) to installed the Tuxedo system. Let me again say it was not thru Alarm Grid.
Good advice, BUT if you have a Slomin system, with that thin "mini"sensor, some of them don't have any slot to get a screwdriver into. Gently pry the cover off, from the bottom. After you replace the battery ( a 2032, + side out) replace the cover . IMPORTANT ! After you snap the cover back on, you have to press DOWN on the top of the cover and it will go down maybe 1/32". If you don't do this you will never get rid of tamper. By "down" I mean towards the floor. Then you have to cycle through "arm/disarm twice. I fooled around with it for an hour, then for some reason I pressed down on the top of the cover and heard a small snap. Then I cancelled the service call. Oh, PS, make sure your extended service plan is up to date.
@scola1951, Correct, most mini contacts need to be snapped and/or locked back in place depending on the manufacturer. Some slide to unlock and lock the top cover, some have tabs to use a flat head screwdriver to lift a corner or side, then be snapped back into place. B aware of which type of sensor you have when attempting to open to replace the battery, as improperly opening the top cover can damage the cover or tamper on the sensor causing the tamper to stay indefinitely open.
How would you make a rule for when the system is tripped for a burglar alarm, for it to make the lights go on and off during the alarm going off?
Hi @fasttrackstormtracker, 1. Ensure your Zwave lights are enrolled properly. 2. Create scenes "Light on And Light off" in the "Scenes section of automation, 3. Create a rule for the Zwave switch to come on when an alarm condition occurs, and link the "Light on " Scene., 4. Create a rule for the Switch to stop using the "Light Off" scene to follow either bell time out or Disarm.
Where is the other video showing how to get into an existing system / change the master code if you inherited it after moving into a house?
I'm an ADT employee, and I'm watching this while installing 😅 they should invest more in training.
We cover a lot of system that ADT installs except for the ADT Command Which is a PROA7 ADT proprietary system. You are Welcome to use any of our content for your security needs.
I hate my 6150 keypad, but if I replace with 6160 keypad, will I have to reprogram everything(zones, wireless fobs, etc) or is that retained?
You will not but press and hold 1 and 3 at the same time to get the address of the 6150 before switching
Excellent man, thank you very much <3
You're Welcome
how do I remove it from the wall?
see install 6160
Question i thought resistors where supposed to go at end of line
for proper supervision yes, we understand that sometime the wires are already in the wall, It will still work at the panel
I own a honeywell 6148 keypad system, is it possible to replace my current for the 6290w?
What do I do if updater reads it can't support gc2 not a version e panel
it has the wrong firmware downloaded into it
Listen, you guys are awesome! Hands down. but, can you please update your videos. IQP4 is now a full blown product in use and the latest firmware has changed a few things. Just saying, it would be nice to see IQP4 and those exact sequences to enroll items.
Mine doesn’t have the installation button
I don’t have the installation option
The installation option comes up depending on what user you are using. The defalt dealer is 2222 and the default installer is 1111
My problem is that after disabling the chime, the system triggered alarm at one hour intervals--massive alarm--and even hitting master code + OFF still kept coming on at hourly intervals. Had to unplug battery and remove 1 + 2 from the transformer box to remove keypad from power. But why did the alarm keep triggering after one hour and how to stop that cycle from occurring.
What did the keypad show when it was in alarm?
Thank you! Too easy to do, I hate punching buttons at random to do simple things. This validates my personal philosophy of never trying to become an expert at something I’m only going to do once. Thanks again, appreciate you guys putting this up.
Hello The pg8914 in the summer don't detect motion at all....only if you put your hand in front of the sensor is active......we have that problem in every installation .....in the winter is not perfect but can detect the motion Do you know anything about that problem??
We have not run into this issue, The motion is an indoor motion if installed outside the temp could be the issue I recommend take inside and test if it occurs again. If the outdoor enviroment is the same temp as a body it is going to be hard for the motion to see the person.
@joshuagriffin2807 thanks for the answer. I know how the pir works..I'm 20 years security systems technician .. we have installed different brands wireless systems...only that sensor make the problem!! Actually today after a test in a customer home the 4 pir don't respond to detect motion
I will make a video about that pir
@@panas872 what happens when you take it off the wall?
@joshuagriffin2807 you mean how is responte the pir when is not attached to the wall?? The same thing until you move your hand near the sensor ..the dsc dealer knows about that problem but the only solution he said is to buy the mirror optic pir but is more expensive!!
Perfectly explained, it helped solve my annoying trouble light that would not quit. Thank you so much!
