Alarm Grid’s self monitoring plans are less expensive and allow access to the great features offered by Total Connect, Alarm.com, or Telguard without being connected to the central station. Additionally, aside from Self Bronze, all of Alarm Grid’s self monitoring plans allow remote access to the robust home automation options made available through a Z-Wave enabled security system.

Seattle Licensing and Alarm Permit Info

License Number: OD0359

You can bypass a zone by entering Master Code + Bypass key + 2-digit zone number.
There are still sensors at the other doors. I do have an alpha numeric keypad and have the online programming manual as well as the installer manual. I'll do some homework. In the meantime is there a way to bypass just the garage entry?
You would need to have an alphanumeric keypad to program the system. If they removed a wireless sensor, and it was the only wireless sensor, that would be why you get the Check 100 error. If you purchase a new sensor you can program it using an alphanumeric keypad. This is quite involved however so you would need to be familiar with the *56 programming menus.
Got it. Thanks. Also replaced battery as per other threads followed. Now keypad says "check 100". The realtor had the garage door replaced as per our request. However she hired a handyman who did not pay attention to alarm and he also replaced door frame which contained magnet sensor. What can I do now to have a working system without contract monitoring?
You have to press *20 and then enter the 4-digit code you want to make the installer code. It should beep after the 4th number pressed and then you can exit programming with *99.
No, unfortunately those beeps are not programmable and are a feature of the scheduled arming.
I have a Vista 20p. I did schedule an automatic forced stay arm through the panel but 10 minutes before the actual arming it beeps about every 30 seconds. Is there any way to stop the beeping (notification) that it is about to arm? Thanks for your time.
Just moved into home with Honeywell alarm system. So over my head. Read your advise on changing installer code. When power up "d1" is showing. I press star and pound key and the number 20 shows. I enter a four digit code and get beep with each digit but the number 20 remains on display. Help!
Which system do you have?
Through the Total Connect 2.0 I can schedule time events such as Lock Front Door and Turn Off ALL Lights but can a scheduled time be setup to arm my alarm system?
Yes, we sure are licensed in Seattle as is Criticom (our central station provider). Our UIN number is OD0359 if you want to verify with the city. Let us know if you have any questions on our no-contract monitoring plans.
Is AlarmGrid licensed in Seattle? (they require all companies to be licensed, rather than homeowners)
