At this stage of my life, It's probably my inherant rejection of having to learn how to program a new panel. Especially since I've been installing only Napco panels for over 40 years. I don't mind learning a new product like Ubiquity, or Starlink etc, - - - - - - - But a new panel ?

As for 2GIG GC2e panel.  It has a lot of capabilities.  The
documentation for this panel sucks, as most do these days.
The system allows voice notices for a zone being opened.
Such as "Front Door Open".  On of the zones on this new
install is "Interior Garage Door".  You don't type in the names
you have to choose from a list that is provided in the docs.
There are maybe 286 different words and or phrases that are available.
The unit has a touch screen and when you are at the location to program
the zone names the first is shown as "abort" and you can type in the
word number to enter the first word.  So I look at the list of words and
go to the "G's" - the first G is "Game" it is number 100 on the list.
The next is "Garbage" it is number 101. Looking at the rest of the list
there is no "Garage".  I am thinking that's odd.  So I find the the
docs say that it is for Firmware v1.31.  I check the panel it is v1.32.
hmmmmmmm so I look on line and the docs that I have is all that are
available. ???????   I then think maybe the panel has a Garage in place
but I don't know the number.  So I start tapping the next key until I
reach the "G's".  100 is "Game" and 101 is "Garage" and there is
NO GARBAGE!!!  Stupid TYPO!!!!

Anyhow, you have now been educated with Chapter 101a of 2GIG Security
Panels by Professor Les.  Hope that made your day!!!

Have a better day!!!
