Siemens SPC 4320

supershipman

Now for me is not working "PARTSET A" let say as all areas from first floor.
I created areas, grouped them, I checked user permission - but "PARTSET A" option is not active

Is any help step by step?
Thanks

KoolKid

Areas & zones omitted for part sets are 2 different things.
Think of each Area as a virtual separate system that can be armed independent of each other area.
Each of these areas can then have zones included or omitted for both part set A & B.
Once areas are enabled then the part set options have to be enabled in edit area.

Can spc be connected to ifttt or Alexa for arming and disarming?

KoolKid

It has a lot of built in ways to define triggers and virtual outputs etc. What are you wanting it to do?

possible also this way but its definitely DIY

SPC Panel -> SPC Gateway -> MQTT -> Nodered -> Alexa Home Skill
or
SPC Panel -> SPC Gateway -> MQTT -> Domoticz (or other HA) -> Alexa Home Skill
Middle elements above would run on a local linux machine.

Result = "Alexa, turn off alarm" etc.
don't use ifttt so no idea.

If you get text messages from your inturder alarm you can use the Android SMS detector as the IF statement on IFTTT to do something.

Similarly if your panel can receive a text to srm or disarm etc (as SPC can) then you can use the SMS generator as the that statement. It's very doable.

thanks for inputs.
i was thinking:
if my phone is not connected to house wifi, trigger ifttt to alarm on.
or
me saying alexa alarm ON or alarm OFF
i have wifi module, no gsm module on it.

bittihuduga

one more question - when the alarm goes off, i get an email notification.
is it possible to get app notification on the phone?

KoolKid

No on the current version of SPC Connect.
We use Gmail which gives a push notification to your phone anyway.

No, the app is limited to remote access to the alarm.
You wont get push notifications using same.

bittihuduga

thanks for responses

KoolKid

Your welcome. Another option we recommend is to set up a separate Gmail account for your alarm and set the alert for that email as a ringtone you will respond to.

Its your network connection back up. The system polls the service & notify s you if the connection drops off /returns.

yes - just one

I was just telling you the IP connection was back up . Depending on the ATP category you have set for polling you may not have been notified you of network down .

To Check what the polling times are set to.

Edit Sequence Table and select from

ATP Category Polling Interval Polling Timeout Polling Interval Polling Timeout

There is some good information in the Configuration Manual Here from SPCs own website.

So you never received a email with the comms down, just when it came back up?

You would of been looking for both.
No use receiving the back up email after your system had been down.

Great amount of information on this thread but I still have a few questions We're moving in a newbuilt soon, and thinking of installing SPC 4320.

- Would it be a good idea to add the GSM Module (is that the correct word?) as a backup to the internet connection?
- Does the SPCK 420 support easy arm/disarm methods such as card/fob?

KoolKid

Hi
That's an option. Their new GSM also supports 3g. Using data on a sim you can keep up the app connection as well as getting text alerts and having the option of text commands to control the panel.
The panel allows for pace proximity key fobs or the SPC 521 keypad can read most other cards also.

Thanks KoolKid! Can I ask what's the GSM module model number (and it's price)? Also, does it come with a world SIM card, or do we choose one ourselves?

Some fobs I saw are upwards of €70 - can we use different/cheaper versions?
Would the SPC 521 give us more options in regards to cost?

Lastly, we'd be thinking of CCTV in the future and I saw we can view livestream through the app. Do I understand correctly that there is no recording or whatsoever? If so, would it be possible to do both recording on a PC and livestream through the app?

The 4320 kit comes with the lcd panel & 2fobs included. Probably works out cheaper than separately. Can't remember how much I paid for mine

KoolKid

The SPCK521 will allow more different cards to be used ,including contactless bank cards etc.
The 2 G GSM code is SPCN320.000
I think the 3G is SPCN340.000

Have they improved the touch screen on these? Lovely looking keypad but I had loads f problems with them.

KoolKid

Yes there was an issue with the paint used on the inside of the glass.
There is a nice new black one coming out also.

Hi I have a 6 core cable going to 2 windows with Aritech 613 shock/magnetic sensors and a door with same sensor.
I want to use tamper and 4k7 Eol going to 4320.
I have also 2 keypads, spck421 that came with the alarm and the 521.100n.
I did order the expander spce651 which I was told is analysed version.
What's the best way to wire remembering that the door needs entry/exit timing.

KoolKid

Where is all the equipment located in relation to each other?
Are you wiring from scratch & are you using existing wiring in place?
