> At this point I don’t want to add any more zones or alter my set up as it seems so delicate. Have you had any issues in adding zones over time?
I have noticed that after I create or modify a zone in Homebridge it doesn't always reflect in HomeKit the immediate next time the panel is provisioned and reboots. However, just restarting Homebridge one more time seems to fix it – this does provision and reboot the panels once more, but nothing changes with the configuration and HomeKit and Homebridge seem to pickup the change permanently after.
Ok. That makes sense. Any thoughts on what would cause the konnected panel to become unreachable? There is usually a solid blue light on the device and I have to reflash it. Is something getting corrupted in the provisioning?
>Also I wonder, but can’t confirm if setting the delay or pulse duration of the piezo buzzer too low may cause some issues. I was going for a quick beep like you hear with commercial systems, but I can’t seem to hear a difference below 50ms. Below 10ms I get a solid tone. This may have nothing to do with the crashes and unreliability, but something to note.
So I actually can reproduce your issue with the piezo buzzer (Pro boards only) and I just did a search in our tickets and found someone else with the same issue. Apparently there's a bug that was introduced in recent editions of the panel's firmware. There is a patch in the works but it is not released yet due to some concurrent issues holding back the release, one of which you have also noted...

I'm not exactly sure what is causing this, but there are issues with recent Pro firmware in general and not isolated to Homebridge. Again this is being addressed in an upcoming firmware release. I don't know when the latest fixes will be released, but our firmware development team is working on it.
Just wanted to post a followup. New firmware seems to solve issue where alarm Pro would need to be refreshed. Also I haven't had any issues with crashing of the device when altering settings. Lastly the beeps on the piezo actually work with shorter delays. Will let you know if anything else comes up.
