First off, thanks for the great information posted here. I am planning to replace my Vivint installed security system with a more expandable/controllable (by me) and definitely cheaper to operate DSC 1832 based system, and the information here has been of help in figuring out what all I need to do to make it work. I do still have a question about sensor selection, however, if someone could assist with that. I have a small-ish living room/kitchen area (just guessing about 15'x25'), with a hallway coming off the middle of the long side. I would like to cover the room and the hallway with a motion sensor. To do this, I have so far come up with two options: 1) A wall-mounted sensor (either wired or wireless is fine) with a 180º field-of view, mounted on the wall opposite the hallway. This would then, in theory, look down the hallway as well as all around the room. 2) A wireless ceiling-mounted 360 degree sensor. This would need to be wireless due to the difficulty of getting wires through the attic (poor access and blown-in cellulose make working in the attic undesirable) So far, in looking around almost all the wall mounted sensors I have seen have only had a 90º field-of-view (from what I can determine), and all the ceiling mounted 360º models have been hard-wire. I did find a couple of wall-mount 180º sensors, but the ones I found cost about 5 times as much as the standard sensors - it would make more sense to simply put in two standard ones. I would prefer, however, to have a single sensor if one is available that meets my criteria. So does anyone know of a motion sensor that meets one of the above criteria? Or perhaps a different approach I can take? Thanks.

I recently purchased two additional 5804 keyfobs to replace my broken ones, and programmed them into my system. When I try to activate the alarm with the new keyfobs (away or stay) nothing happens. The Panic buttons works though, as I found out the hard way! I simply continued the zone numbering that the installer used: looks like my 2 old keyfobs were in zones 21 thru 24 and 25 thru 28, so I continued to program the new keyfobs into zones 29 thru 32 and zones 33 thru 36. I am fairly certain that I got them programmed correctly by comparing the zone/zone type/partition/report/button type/loop to the installer programmed keyfobs. ex: zn 29/07/1/10/BR:1s zn 30/22/1/10/BR:2s zn 31/21/1/10/BR:3s zn 32/20/1/10/BR:4s etc. I ran the sniffer mode afterward to ensure that the new keyfobs were properly programmed. Also, I noticed that my partition numbering changed - showing ?H for partition 1. How do I change that back? The other partitions are shown as P2 and P3.
