    Downloaded the new HKC app as a replacement for the older HKC app. Anybody else find its connectivity is poorer than the original app? seems like it fails to connect often after entering code.

    Also having big problem with connection. It’s a disaster.

    HKC had an issue with a server yesterday afternoon, that is what caused the issue with the most recent app.

    I downloaded it yesterday and was unable to set it up. Says my user code is wrong (it isn't). Still getting that error this morning.

    I'm also getting the error message about signal level this morning and can't access the app.

    I got this when I moved over to the new app - it didn't like the fact I had a # in the SecureComm password set on the alarm panel despite the old app being perfectly happy with it. Changed and all worked after that.

    I've been using the "new" app for a while now and haven't had any issues with it up until a few days ago but am now having issues logging in, where it fails on the first attempt to login using my fingerprint but works when I retry, and also random signal level errors.

    HKC had an issue the other day with Securecomm as they sent out a email for everyone to change over to the new app, which most did causing a issue for everyone. Its fixed now so should be back to normal.

    Seems it was a temporary issue with their server and new app. Yesterday and today however the actual panel in the house has LAN/Comms failure, wonder if related to new servers etc… and it seems not just my house, also in another siet I have access to….others?

    Same here, LAN faults tonight waking me up.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,957 ✭✭✭Hooked


    I’m lying awake here with the panel beeping and no app working. Afraid if I go downstairs (to the panel) to shut it up, I might not be able to disarm it. HELP 😂



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,574 ✭✭✭TheGunns


    Any idea how to fix this? Been turning off the beeps but back on every hour



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6 hurlo83


    Any idea how to disconnect the speaker on the circuit board? I’m demented going down to knock off the beeping every 20 mins



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 796 ✭✭✭Kurooi


    Up all night Jesus Christ.

    Muffled it with pillows now but stupid panel the beep is so high pitched and there is no speaker it just goes through everything



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 482 ✭✭Nuphor


    Alarm renewal time, absolute last straw tonight. No chance whatsoever that I’ll continue to use HKC. No sleep at all.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 233 ✭✭dclifford


    just put in the normal disarm code to silence it

    Getting this now every couple of hours. It's a nightmare



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,161 ✭✭✭notahappycamper


    If getting a LAN/Comms failure and have the wifi card in your alarm, reboot your home broadband router to see if this fixes it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 741 ✭✭✭Darando


    Painful…I knew it wasn't just my panel when this started earlier in week.. poor service since that new app roll. No proactive emails or notices saying they have a problem last time..let's see this time

    I'd say plenty of installers phones will be hopping today



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 8,648 ✭✭✭ongarite


    Securecomm cloud portal is down. The installer login page won't load either



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,087 ✭✭✭Former Former Former


    every half an hour from 2am onwards

    It’s going to be a long day



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5 Ministripe


    GSM line fault? Is this same as LAN fault beeping all night disarming and back again an hour later...😫 also not connecting on app. Appreciate in advance any suggestions to fix



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 8,648 ✭✭✭ongarite


    No fix for home user. It's up to HKC to fix their cloud server. The loss of communication is causing all these angry, tired posts this morning.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5 Ministripe


    Thanks for the feedback ongarite. Guess we are all bleary eyed this morning 😵‍💫

    the only plus is I started at 7am instead of 9… so I’ll be out the gap at 3!!! LOL.

    we’ve a Siberian husky that HOWLS at alarms, phone ringing and calls via speaker phone.

    At least he didn’t react to the beeping last night! Every cloud… pardon the pun
