My Installation guide on page 19 says to press Add then Sensor/Remote and the system should say Press button on Sensor. But mine says "Function Not Available".
Oddly enough, my unit came new from NextAlarm with a sticky note that said these functions are not available. I attempted to program the unit via the online, but there site never dials into my until from their site.
And...have you contacted NextAlarm?
No apparent 800 number. Their ticket system says support hours 11am to
9pm eastern and no support on Holidays.I'll admit they are looking like a 3 man operation right now. Mostly I'm interested in using their email alert feature - but I will gladly take their free year of monitoring and the certification papers.
It appears they did some kind of mod on the Simon as I can't program it without their broken outdated website.
One good thing, Amex is awesome about returns and the customer is always right..
I wouldn't doubt that they are using somekind of mod-ed panel.
Right, well you can reset the system. It tells you how to do this in the manual. I forgot off the top of my head but it does say in the manual. And that should default any programming if thats the issue.
Also i would assume that an alarm company that has priority panels and that have modified them so they cant be taken over, well, they never do me any favors when i call them, not next but protection 1 anyway. So flash reset, which you have to apply power as you are holding down a button, and it will reset.
it sounds like you've maxed out the available zones
So you are suprised that a panel which comes with functions are not available actually has functions not available?
The problem is you are locked out and are not using the correct installer code
