Based on this, I bought the newer V3 keypad rather than the older, uglier one....only to find out they work completely differently. First of all, there is no Exit Delay notification when you arm away from something else on this keypad, unlike the V2. That is the primary reason that I bought it.
In addition, when you arm-away from this keypad, you do not get the delayed armed action from HSM. Instead, the keypad does it's own, silent, 30 second countdown and then HSM immediately goes to Armed Away. At this point, my other keypad then begins it's 30 second countdown, even though the system is already armed-away. What good is that?!?!
So, does HE not support 2 keypads simultaneously? And if it does, is there any way to make this other keypad work even remotely like the V2 keypad? Do I have to have the device configured in a certain way to use it with HSM? There are device settings for Entry and Exit delay in addition to the ones in HSM. Are those what is in conflict? Or is the driver just completely wrong.
Also, I don't know why this is using the Centrallite Keypad driver. It's showing up as made by a different company. The manufacturer listed in HE is
I feel like I struggle like this every time I try to do something new with HE. Nothing works quite the way it purported to work. There are always key details and information that is conveniently left out. I'd really love it if this keypad could work like the other one, like I was told it would. Otherwise I'm just throwing good money after bad.
