Installer Toolbox Code Vivint

I initially built in a bit of redundancy for my automation. My internet would go out at least once a week, and I’d need to toggle my router Basically I had a z-wave outlet that my router plugged in to.

Go!Control Online Access - Edit User PINs. If you’ve forgotten your user PIN or like to regularly change PINs for security purposes, or any other reason, changing user PINs, including the master PIN, online is.

When I’d lose internet, I’d open the Vivint app and turn off/on said z-wave outlet. I would pretty much do the same for the thermostat I have as well, the internet would go out in my house and I’d be away on work unable to set the thermostat, turn on my router, or get any decent remote access to my house. It was a nice back door my neighbor cut down the tree that was the source of the problem, been great every since. Slightly off topic, but related to the redundancy I put a TCP Lighting system in just in case SmartThings would go down, or have issues.

All things considered I just want to bake in all my functions in to SmartThings and have a 3G card directly to the SmartThings hub as my backup (cheaper). I had Vivint for 2 years before SmartThings, and it was ok for the time and my need. It ‘just works’, but compared to everything I have access to now I’d be hard pressed to go back. I heard the ‘vivint sky’ package is a little ‘smarter’, but I’ve yet to lay my hands on it. I finally got mine working as well. I am with Reliance Protectron, and have my installer code as well.

I found upgrading the panel to firmware 1.10.1 made a huge improvement. You actually have the controller shift option, and primary and secondary panels co-operate much better. Previously I was on a 1.9 something firmware. I was able to add everyting, my locks, lights, plugs, and thermostat to my Smartthings, and then add the 2gig, everything works. I have full access to the locks, lights, plugs, and the thermostat on smartthings, the 2gig,.

Everything works great now. Maladolescenza spielen wir liebe 1977. I tested adding new devices, and then just quickly running check network on the 2gig, adds them in there as well.

Adding the 2gig panel as a secondary. You need to use smartthings to add a new device, then, on the 2gig go to services, zwave, then the toolbox (bottom right icon), you will need your installer code, then advanced, and learn controller. This will add the 2gig as the secondary. It will just show up as a controller on your smartthings. I previously had a 1.9 firmware, and it still worked, but, not nearly as well as with the 1.10.1 firmware. I’ve been testing mine.

I got the rules with functioning again with their help. I have a few rules turning lights on/off at certain times. The one thing that doesn’t work is I used to have a rule that when the door lock was unlocked by a user code, it would disarm the system. That does not work anymore. I think with the smartthings being the primary device, it does not provide stateful data back to the 2gig. Therefore, I unlock the door with my usercode, only the smartthings hub is aware of that.

From what I can tell, there is no way to have that work as of right now. Not sure if anyone else has had that working, so, the 2gig disarms when the door is unlocked by a user code? As for actions on the 2gig from ST, I don’t believe that’s possible. They run as two independent devices. Both can send out commands to the devices, so, rules on 2gig, or on ST will both work. But, 2gig will not (from what I can tell) get stateful data back from the devices without polling them.

For example, unlocking doors, the 2gig doesn’t appear to get notified that it has unlocked. The only way I see the door is unlocked is by using the app and refreshing it’s status. Great thread with tons of info. Just got Vivint and, because of its quite limited capabilities despite using the SkyControl panel, i almost cancelled my contract (within trial period) and bought a ST hub.
