Better Alarm Panel Needed

[FritzB001 0]

Hi guys,

I use fibaro with a lot of sensors for half a year. You offer it with nice presentations on your homepage an millions of possibilities. But the truth is that there is a big lack of usability.

E.g. you show pictures of statistics from the smoke detector. Where are they in HC2.

You offer burglar alarm but on the iPhone there is no information WHICH sensor has been breached. So where do I run to get the thief?! First floor, second floor...

The alarm central simply is a joke! There is still no possibility to control a sirene (without scenes or other workarounds). No possibility to arm only internal sensors and so on.

Everything has to be done with workarounds (if possible at all).

I could continue this report for dozens of lines.

I ask you WHEN will you correct these things and make the system that good as you promise in your advertisings?!

And I would like to hear from other users if they are as disappointed, upset and annoyed as I am...

In that argument I totally agree!

Id like to be able to make the 'alarm' panel only alert the user after two triggers (instead of one) so that false triggers are eliminated but I cannot see anyway to 'stall' the alarm until its checked for two triggers.

Again, like I said, lots of promise but no cigar. I agree though it should work out of the box ie alarm going off and being stopped on disable via panel.

I must say that many things are good about Fibaro, but there are also many things that are not so good. From my point of view, the alarm panel is by far the worst thing. I can't understand that Fibaro, who have great programmers, can't make the alarm panel as good as Zipato have done. Zipato understands security, and Fibaro should be able to more or less copy their implementation. It shouldn't take too much time to do that implementation.
