I would like Night Mode auto arm to make no noise from the key pads on auto arm or auto disarm.
I have been following the advice in this thread:
http://www.comfortforums.com/view_topic.php?id=384&forum_id=1

Auto arm still announces "night mode" on the key pads but with no beeps.Audio disarm is completely silent as expected.
My "Auto Arm Night from Security Off only" response looks like this:

If SecurityMode = SecurityOff Then Keypad AllKeypads Broadcast Disable
Wait 1 Seconds using Timer01
AutoArm NightMode
Wait 20 Seconds using Timer01
Keypad AllKeypads BroadcastEnable
End If

Firmware is 8.013
Can anyone help advise how to silence the announcement?

Thanks for the feedback

This is due to a bug in the WAIT for Timer action in the Arm firmware. We will fix this bug n the next release after testing.
If you would like a workaround replace the wait for timer action with Do Response after Timer expires action

On further testing, this response does work in 8.013

If SecurityMode = SecurityOff Then Keypad AllKeypads Broadcast Disable
Wait 1 Seconds using Timer01
AutoArm NightMode
Wait 20 Seconds using Timer01
Keypad AllKeypads BroadcastEnable
End If
the keypad does not announce night mode
after 20 seconds the anouncement comes back on

How do you trigger the response, is it from the Night Key?

Thi response does not work when triggered from Execute Response in the Responses sscreen

Thanks for the reply.

I'm triggering the response from a time program. Which of the waits should be replaced with a do response after timer expires action?

From my testing you should not need to replace the wait timerWhich is not working?

disable broadcast?
arm to night
enable broadcast??

Disable broadcast is not working in that Response. The other changes disable the beeps but I still get the keypads announcing "Night Mode".

My response to unarm night mode is completely silent. And announcements work after unarm.

Remove Wait 1 Seconds using Timer01 from the response

If SecurityMode = SecurityOff Then Keypad AllKeypads Broadcast Disable
Wait 1 Seconds using Timer01
AutoArm NightMode
Wait 20 Seconds using Timer01
Keypad AllKeypads BroadcastEnable
End If
If that does not work please send the cclx file to support@cytech.biz

Thanks for the cclx file.
Your Night exit time is set to 30 seconds. so in autoarm to night mode, the system will arm to night mode after 30 seconds

Your auto arm response is :
If SecurityMode = SecurityOff Then
    Skip Announcement
    Keypad AllKeypads Broadcast Disable
    AutoArm NightMode
    Wait 30 Seconds Using Timer01(1)
    Keypad AllKeypads Broadcast Enable
End If

The 30 seconds timer causes the keypads to enable broadcast before the system is armed.

Either reduce the night exit time or increase the wait time so that the system can be armed before the broadcast is enabled again

Thank you, that fixed it.

For anyone wondering how to do this, first get rid of the auto arm beeps by doing this:
http://www.comfortforums.com/view_post.php?post_id=3791

Then change your "Auto Arm Night from Security Off only" response to look like this:

If SecurityMode = SecurityOff Then
    Keypad AllKeypads Broadcast Disable
    AutoArm NightMode
    Wait 60 Seconds using Timer01
    Keypad AllKeypads BroadcastEnable
End If
