Yes, please bring it back. I'm on business travel often and need to know the state of my battery-powered security devices instead of the "Ok" indicator. Some of my devices go from "Ok" to unresponse/off-network in a matter of two days. Among other things, Gillion's portal allowed me to see which devices needed attention *before* I went on a trip.

Awesome - yeah, I noticed the home button was the only way out of it without logging me completely out (back button has no effect). I'm glad it was a conscious design decision and not, somehow, an oversight. Good enough for me. I'm not used to using the home button especially during its startup phase - in the previous version of the app. while loading the user state from the cloud and after press of the home button, the app. still manages to take over the screen after it finishes loading the state in the background. Thanks for the quick response, Mike!

2.8 App in general, including the fingerprint feature, works pretty well. However, this is a minor annoyance in the fingerprint prompt. I woke up my Android phone (Galaxy S6) and was given the IRIS App login screen with the fingerprint prompt since that's where I left the app. when I put the phone to sleep. However, I wasn't planning on using the app. so I hit cancel which correctly closed down the app. but (in my opinion) incorrectly logged me out all the way. The next login into the app. I had to re-enter my e-mail/password. Closing down the app. and logging back in correctly invokes the fingerprint function from this point. Suggest not logging out the user completely when selecting "Cancel" on the fingerprint verification step.

Having percentage indicators to the batteries is extremely valuable. What if I go on a business trip or vacation for a week or more, and the day I leave all devices may be reporting 'OK'. But what if the following day or days, one sensor decides to report 20%, and then a couple of days later it drops offline altogether, I now have a vulnerability on a zone. Though the battery percentage indicators may not be completely accurate it does give a good relative gauge as to which sensors need attention before one leaves for longer periods. Reporting 'OK' is useless particularly when batteries are on the low side.

Not only does it not support local processing, but it doesn't queue events either (which is why your alarm never went off even after network was restored). Disconnect the ethernet cable, open and close a few windows and doors, plug ethernet cord back in. Check your history....

Per the Devices/Switches screens, I will admit it was initially somewhat confusing. Use it for a little longer, you'll get used to what information it's trying to convey. Both screens do report current status, but the actively lit button on the Switches screen means it is press-able, not the actual state of the switch. For example, a device that's currently OFF will have its ON button as active, OFF will be greyed out. However, you'll also note that devices that are ON has a thick ring or halo around the graphical switch, vs. the thin for OFF states.

Glad to see it has made it into the Features Request "Accepted" category.

I believe they had this for V1 so this would be a parity issue. I once had the alarm go off one morning while I was at work. I didn't have my cell with me at the time, and of course a false alarm was set off in the morning and I didn't notice it until 7 hours later. My fresh batteries in all keypads/sirens were all drained to 1/3 of what they were since that morning... Absolutely ridiculous.

I haven't tried this before but try putting the camera right up against the glass (as in the lens and glass separated by, say, half-inch or even closer). That way you minimize two glare scenarios from the lens: - Glare from IR reflected back at the lense by the glass - Glare from IR reflected off the glass, and then additionally by your curtains So this means you can't slant the camera at an angle against the glass, must be straight out. Best to have a separate camera outside though - for both clarity and IR power.

I'd like to see the amber light blink when there is a 'trouble' condition detected in the IRIS system - for example, when a device has disconnected from the network. I'd even go as far as making it blink for a low battery condition for any of the devices as well. This will help with the user response time in determining whether something is wrong with the system vs. waiting for 24 hours to be notified a device has fallen offline. Also, since there's no overall "System Status" card, this is a feature that could prompt users to scan through the Device list for issues.

In some jurisdictions, you're not allowed to have your alarm system alert police/monitoring stations or even alert the PD yourself that your alarm has been triggered if your system isn't registered with them. I think it usually results in a fine. Frank - where are you based out of?

Nice. I mod stuff using AA batteries as well. I didn't watch the full video, but seems it's now a stationary fob since it's too heavy and bulky to be portable. Even the V1 fobs with a single CR2 is occassionally too bulky for me.... This mod would be perfect, in my opinion, for the V1 Smart Button, however.

Parity issue with IRIS V1 - would like to bring back the indicator that shows if the CT101 is currently running off of its batteries or on AC power from the furnace. I once had the furnace breaker tripped for an unknown length of time until I got a warning that the CT101's batteries were low. Knowing beforehand that AC power had been lost would have been helpful.

I'm with you on this - the GDO tilt sensor status should have been a participating sensor for the alarms. I'm glad I also have motion detectors in my garage in the meantime...

IRIS to adhere to the Entry Delay time only for sensors designated as "entry". For example, since there is now a door and window separation, apply Entry Delay time for those marked as Door. An opening of a window during an armed alarm should not be treated as a valid entry and should not have to count down Entry Delay prior to alarming; it should be an instant alarm.
