Update 09/25/24: We noticed the display issue, where apparent programming information was displayed is resolved. There's no information on exactly when this occurred.

Update 08/29/24 2:12 pm EDT: According to Resideo, they have received reports of this same behavior from other dealers. Alarm Grid alone reported no less than 17 accounts with the issue. Per engineering, the notification issue was resolved at approximately 10:09 am EDT this morning. The other issue, with erroneous programming information being displayed on the screen is ongoing.

Original Post 08/29/24 9:55 am EDT: So far, we've only seen this reported with PROSeries panels. At the top of the Activity screen some coding information is being displayed. In addition, each time a Sensor Open notification is added to the Activity screen a Disarm notification is also added, even though no disarm occurred.

Below is an example of the coding information being displayed at the top of the activity screen:

In this screenshot, you can see a disarm with the same timestamp as the preceding event:


The PROSeries panels include the Honeywell Home PROA7 and PROA7PLUS and the Resideo PROA7C and PROA7PLUSC. These panels are collectively known as the PROSeries.

This appears to be a coding error, and will hopefully be a simple fix. We have reported this to Resideo, but haven't heard back from them yet. This is a developing situation, so we will update this post as more information becomes available.

The main thing to understand at this point is that although this is an annoyance, it doesn't seem to affect the ability to control your system remotely. It also appears to have no effect on your system's ability to report alarm signals to the monitoring station, when central station monitoring is being used.

Hi DIYers! We would like to announce that we are now offering high-quality alarm system wiring and cabling from Genesis. This wiring and cabling is perfect for nearly all types of alarm system applications. If you have a hardwired system or sensors, this is great wiring to have around!

Honeywell vista 20p wired alarm control panel

Alarm wiring is needed whenever you add a new hardwired sensor, keypad, siren or other accessory to your alarm system. Cabling is also used for providing power to the panel through the plug-in transformer and backup battery. When you go and make hardware changes to your wired system, you will almost certainly need some wiring around. It is good to have on-hand whether you plan on setting up a brand-new system or whether you plan to make changes to your current one.

Both DIY users and professional installers can benefit from high-quality wiring. And that is exactly what Alarm Grid is offering with the Genesis Wiring. Genesis is owned and operated by Resideo (formerly Honeywell), a company already known for its top-of-the-line security systems. You can count on Genesis to provide excellent wiring that will allow your hardwired alarm system equipment to work effectively and reliably. It is great for wiring alarm systems from nearly any maker or manufacturer.

Alarm Grid is offering 18-gauge and 22-gauge wiring options. 18 AWG is slightly thicker than 22 AWG, and it is better-suited for longer wire runs and higher current draws. We recommend the use of 18-gauge wire, as it offers an ideal balance of maximum wire run length and general flexibility. But if the user doesn't have to worry about long wire runs, then they might want to use the thinner 22-gauge wire for greater flexibility.

All of the cabling featured on our site consists of stranded copper. This type of wire is perfect for DIY users, as it can be cut, spliced and bent without easily being damaged. DIY users who try to work with solid core wiring are likely to damage the cabling and experience major issues when they go to wire their systems. We strongly recommend the use of stranded wiring for all alarm system equipment. This is true whether you're setting up your own DIY system or you are a professional installer.

The wiring we are offering is available in 2-conductor and 4-conductor options. A cable that is 2-conductor will have two inner wires, while 4-conductor cable will have four inner wires. The type to use will depend on the connections you need to make. Remember that you can double-up and use two separate 2-conductor wires to complete 4-wire connections, but you lose the convenience of having four different color wires when you choose this option. And you can always leave two of the inner wires for a 4-conductor cable disconnected when completing a 2-wire connection. But for neatness, you should consider your needs appropriately and choose the conductor option that works best for your needs. All our wire sizes are available in 500-foot and 1,000-foot rolls.

We offer the following wiring products at this time:

If you have any questions about our wiring products, please send an email to support@alarmgrid.com. Our support technicians and security system planners are happy to address any questions or concerns you might have. We can also help you determine the perfect type of wiring if you aren't sure exactly what you need. We look forward to hearing from you so that we can help you plan your system!
