We’re Seeing Some Total Connect 2.0 Irregularities


Update 08/29/24 2:12 pm EDT: According to Resideo, they have received reports of this same behavior from other dealers. Alarm Grid alone reported no less than 17 accounts with the issue. Per engineering, the notification issue was resolved at approximately 10:09 am EDT this morning. The other issue, with erroneous programming information being displayed on the screen is ongoing.

Original Post 08/29/24 9:55 am EDT: So far, we’ve only seen this reported with PROSeries panels. At the top of the Activity screen some coding information is being displayed. In addition, each time a Sensor Open notification is added to the Activity screen a Disarm notification is also added, even though no disarm occurred.

Below is an example of the coding information being displayed at the top of the activity screen:

In this screenshot, you can see a disarm with the same timestamp as the preceding event:


The PROSeries panels include the Honeywell Home PROA7 and PROA7PLUS and the Resideo PROA7C and PROA7PLUSC. These panels are collectively known as the PROSeries.

This appears to be a coding error, and will hopefully be a simple fix. We have reported this to Resideo, but haven’t heard back from them yet. This is a developing situation, so we will update this post as more information becomes available.

The main thing to understand at this point is that although this is an annoyance, it doesn’t seem to affect the ability to control your system remotely. It also appears to have no effect on your system’s ability to report alarm signals to the monitoring station, when central station monitoring is being used.
