Arming with keychain remote
« on: April 25, 2008, 07:36:53 AM »

I have 2 dobermans that own my house, (anyone with dogs understands that) is there a way to arm the DS7000 "at home" with the keychain remote?  I want to be able to arm "at home" so that the motion detectors are not active when I leave the dogs inside.  Right now I use the hand held remote and take that big thing with me.

Unfortunately with the DS7000 alone there isn't a way to Arm in Home Mode with the keychain remote.

If you are also using ActiveHome Pro with OnAlert, then you can create a macro to trigger from one of the keychain remote's buttons (for example: the Lights ON button) that would send an Arm Home Mode to the DS7000 base (PS561).

...and if you didn't want every "lights-on" butten-press to arm the system, use phantoms & flags to call for a combination (like lights-on & lights-off within a short period of time) - or manually set a flag before leaving that "allows" a lights-on keypress to fire the arming macro for a period of time before clearing.

Thank you for the ideas, I will play with the Macro some more, will probably need a little programming help with it, since I have only done lights and cams on/off so far.
