Scantronic (8136) - set/unset via a zone

[mr0mega]

Bit of progress, if I set the zone to KF rather than KM. Then completing the circuit on the zone now puts the alarm (Level A) into a kind of set mode, but the sounder maintains a steady tone, and it never completes the set.

Typing my alarm code in during this process performs an unset..confusing!

These are from the 808 /816 manual ( non idis version ) may help you …..only problem I can see with this type of key switch setting is when it’s not turned off by this method it will be out of sync….

Thanks, what is the A/T 1 connection in your picture?

ok, done using ESPHome, 2 relays, 2 inputs

Keyswitch on zone 13 (relay)
Normal alarm on zone 14 (relay)

OP3 configured to latch when alarm active
OP4 configured to latch when alarm set

I found a new document called Installation and Programming Guide for the 8136UK-50/75 which helped immensely, especially example 6 which is for keyswitches.

ESPHome configuration below:

esphome:
