HKC SW812 Temp User

s_gr

Hi,

I want to setup temp user for builder that is working on the house, i have a gsm unit already to monitor and activate/deactivate it. My question is can i set it up to txt me each time temp user deactivates and activates the alarm. Is this an option, and if so how can i program this. I have full engineer code for the panel so can get into the settings ok.

You can set the system up to text you on open/close of the system but every time the alarm is armed/disarmed by any user it will text all numbers that are set up on the alarm. It will end up using a lot of credit set up this way. An option for you to do since you have the GSM installed is when the builder is going into your house unset it remotely, then set it again when he leaves. Another option is to set up a different code and give this to the builder. You can then check the log to see what time the builder armed and disarmed the alarm if that is what information you need.

I would give the builder a code as he could ring you from his bed to turn off the alarm and then come in to work after lunch.
The only way you will know he is onsite is if he types in his code

Thanks Guys, i think just setting a temp code be the best Can i then get the log via the sms if i want to check if he arrived?

That is the best option. If you text (user code) log 1-21 depending on the log events this is, this will text the events to your phone.
