They are supposed to be changed when installed, but speaking to a few security types I know they say most installers do not know or do not care about that, and leave it at the default. For mine for example the default is 5555 and lets me into the menu. |

Yeh, I looked up online for the installer codes and tried a few that where posted, but none of them work. It must have been changed. But this system seems to have a bit of a security issue... seems if you go into the menu to go into the zwave settings to modify the devices... it asks for the master password or the installer code to get in... but also allows you try an unlimited amount of times without penalty. So I can manually brute force the code out of the system...and also doubled my chances at getting a code. I've already run through 0000 to 1000. >:D Also my fingers... :embarassed: EDIT: ran through 1001 to 2300 last night as well. only 7699 to go. hopefully the security company didn't have the forethought to disable all the codes remotely (if that's a thing they do) i know from research, this panel (a "2gig GO!" control panel)and is quite common. There exists a number of forums on it's hacking and setup with different companies. so I'm not totally for a loss here. If I can get in and get my own codes setup, I'm laughing. between this panel and a PI & zwave dongle, I think I'll have everything I need. having 2 "controllers" shouldn't be an issue should it? I mean, I can use the security panel to unlock the door....if i use my smartphone to send a command to a computer inside to open the door, it's not going to throw off the rest of the zwave network or cause the panel to throw a panic because it didn't request the unlock is it? sorry, just throwing stuff at the wall here...seeing what'll stick. |

If you have your alarm panel send an alert on say, the door opening, if you used your other controller to open it then the alarm panel would send the alert because it is still talking to the zwave device. I think you would be OK. |

I'm very interested in getting my own security system setup.. Anyone mess with those 19$ monitoring companies that use Internet instead of cellular Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
| lilshawn:
most do connect through WI-FI now and just use a cellular modem as a backup. still others only use a cellular modem. I did find a 2gig forum (because apparently a dozen or so companies use this panel (Vivant, AGT, reliant etc.) that talks about purchasing a replacement cellular modem for switching the panel to a new company (apparently the company server contact data is hardcoded to the cellular modem)...plug it into the 2gig panel, and then that new company has a "self monitoring" service which is in the 20 buck range. I'm not 100% sure what it entails, but I imagine they simply provide the smartphone app and alerts through their servers to your smartphone only. It would be up to you to contact the authorotay. |
