  • A full-featured DriverWorks driver with integrated polling of the DSC panel to ensure continued and reliable communications.
  • Supports all Partitions and Zones handled by the panel connected to the driver.
  • Enhanced security support through a new Security Panel driver fully compatible with OS 2.8 and above. The previous security driver remains available for pre-OS 2.8 systems.
    • Displayed zones selectable by partition.
    • Support for 2-minute special delay when “Quick Exit” is used.
    • Virtual Keypad in user interface (Navigator).
    • Virtual Keypad key presses in programming.
    • Ability to trigger Command Outputs (1 to 4) by partition.
    • Zone types automatically generated from connected devices.
    • New devices provided to supplement the standard sensor devices for full support of new proxy zone types.
  • (New in 10.0.0) Ability to send notifications for key events (Alarms, Arming/Disarming and Troubles).
  • (New in 10.0.0) Ability to turn lights On and flash lights when in Alarm.
  • (New in 10.0.0) Improved History logging of events, available in the Navigator interface.
  • Zone labels are automatically retrieved from the DSC panel.
  • Zone groups allow easy but sophisticated control and programming.
  • Zone groups can trigger Control4 relays for direct control.
  • Supports user names associated with user codes, facilitating programming and e-mailing.
  • Panel Time and Date are updated automatically every 24 hours.
  • Input bindings are available for external Smoke/CO detectors (can accommodate a Nest device, for example).
  • Programming support provided for quick arming and disarming of Partitions (Default User Code entered and kept securely) and to arm in any state.
  • Programming support to activate Emergency modes (Fire, Medical, Panic).
  • Comprehensive set of additional events allowing sophisticated programming, including:

    • Last User number (and name) to Arm/Disarm.
    • Last zone to become Not Ready and last zone to be restored (Ready).
    • And more…
  • Action (“Print Status Report”) to simplify reporting of issues by cut and paste of Lua output in a trouble ticket.
  • Action (“Print Zone Report”) to help in setting up zones and partitions.

Includes the Domosapiens Inter-Devices Facility (DIDF) to allow other drivers to monitor and control individual elements through this driver (see detailed section in this document).  Also included is an IT-100 Communications Tester driver to help in diagnosing communicaitons issues.
