Window Sensor remains nameless

Post by thomasm » Fri Jun 16, 2017 11:55 am

Despite numerous unpairing and repairing attempts, a door/window sensor configured for a window will not announce the custom name I've given it on the Telo. It shows up in the app with the custom name, and the log reflects the name when it inputs entries, but the speaker on the Telo always refers to it as "Window Sensor".

Changing it to a door sensor fixes the problem but windows should be able to be labeled (and announced) also.

The base plays a custom named window sensor ok for me. If your name was not in the media dictionary it wouldn't work for a door sensor either, so puzzling. All your current names are in the dictionary. Try rebooting the telo.

I solved the problem. When you name a sensor the Telo will not announce the new name UNLESS YOU CHANGE MODES. Perhaps this should be looked into as I'm sure some folks never change the mode.

Is there any chance of getting a list of all the window and door sensor names in the dictionary so endless experimentation doesn't need to take place? HINT: Ademco publishes their dictionary right in the instruction book for their alarm systems....

Downloads: Mark or highlight words relevant to your setup; then, rename sensor(s) accordingly.
