I know the 572 will convert 32-bit signals from Security DEVICES like DS10a's, but has anyone been able to get the 572 to convert signals from Security REMOTES?  e.g., I want to see a B1-ON on the powerline when I press ARM on my keychain KR10A remote.  I get it captured, but nothing gets to the powerline...?

PajamaGuy: I was able to get my V572RF32 to learn my security remotes. I have all my security sensors in the first group and all my security remotes in the second. It learned them just the same as it did the DS10As.

Puck - I believe you, so now I have to ask, are you sure?     What do you see in the Activity Monitor when you press the ARM button of a KR10a?  How about Disarm?  Lights-ON?  Lights-OFF?

And if it is a Security Remote, what's the difference in PLC's when you press ARM-Home vs. ARM AWAY vs. DISARM?  What does it send for Security Lights?

I installed a KR10a, told it to transceive B3, (B3 is the KR10a's address in AHP) closed=ON, open=OFF.  It captured just fine, and the upload checksum was OK.  Pressing any of the buttons worked the DS7000, and the associated AHP macros (Triggering on a registered KR10a), but I got NO B3 PLC's of any kind.

Very sure! Been using my security remotes with it since last year when I purchased it. I get a PLC signal (e.g.) M1 OFF for DisArm and M1 ON for Arm. I have 6 remotes registered this way. I do not use the Security Lights ON / Security Lights OFF via AHP so I never looked at what they send or receive. Arm Home / Arm Away produce the same PLC. So when I Arm with the large security remotes, my AHP macros know that PLC is for arming in Home mode; arming with a keychain remote triggers arm Away mode macros.

And just so you know, my CM15As have their RF Receivers disabled and the only way they receive signals is via PLC; so my security remotes can only trigger macros by being transceived by the V572RF32.

Hmmmmm - Thanks! - I'll work it more tonight.  I even had my spare CM15 plugged into the same outlet as the PSC05 - but got nothing on the Activity Monitor....

Prior to purchasing mine, I emailed the manufacturer asking about security remotes, because they were not mentioned on their site for the V572RF32. They replied saying that they would not work. Initially I was not going to get one because this was my primary reason for wanting one, but I decided to anyways just to increase the reliability of my outside motion detectors.

When I got it I tried learning the arm button from a remote and to my surprise it worked. It did create an OFF for the Arm & an ON for the DisArm.

Unfortunately mine does not have a Version / Revision label for us to compare.

If you are not able to get your security remotes to work as I have, and if they ever come out with a firmware update, I think I'll pass on it just in case. I'll live with the occasional A11 storm (which now has a self correcting power cycle set up).

I'm in contact with them - working on the storm - they hadn't heard of it before I emailed their support, and when I copied several others' posts from here duplicating it, they said they're investigating.  I put a AM466 in its path and trip it off for 30 seconds whenever there's an A1 PLC, but it hasn't tripped it yet (only been 2 days).
