Jim, great idea man.
I am okay at the easy stuff, not sure I know how to do this.
But I will do some more research online and in my manual.
I don't want to take up too much of your time, after all it's a

Just as long as the panel stops beeping, flashing error codes and the
monitoring company isn't calling, the wife is happy.
Thanks so much for the help.
