Basically works

Update to this, zone issue seemed to have fixed itself , statuses now updating live without restarting app. Still think the app should be cheaper or free considering you have to buy the extra hardware and that doesn’t do anything without the app.Essentially it works but as indicated by others the update once you have the app open seems to have issues, at least with the zone statuses, you have to close the app and relaunch to refresh the zone statuses. Maybe it’s because the zones statuses are shown on a separate screen as the icons on the main screen seem to update live fine ie power fail, armed status etc Also some clear instructions would be appreciated, like what does the home/monitor button do ? Does seem to do anything. Also I’ve just noticed that on my iPad the app shows a speaker icon in the top left where the iPhone doesn’t, what does the icon mean ? App needs work especially for $14, as it sits it should be free as part of the panel as the nesscomm software is.

Simple to use, great app.Lacks the option of having multiple alarm systems. In my case I have 2 systems, 1 for house, 1 for workshop. I wish I could control both of them on the app but unfortunately app only has option for 1 system. If this was added to have multiple systems then it would be Awesome!

Have purchased a Ness alarm system and they said it does have an app for my iPhone and it works. So, have purchased an IP232 module, have connected it to my network and it worked, and it works reliable for a year now.Those who understand comms know that there is a certain configuration requirement for your network router to have configured, so your phone app can find it over the internet.Now for those who reckon that your Ness alarm system should be able to send you push notifications over the internet I say it is possible IF you have engaged a security centre to collect the notifications first and send you a sms for example, OR maybe in the future when everyone will have assigned a static IPv6 address to their mobile devices.From me five stars!

Push Notifications Please

I’ve been running this app for at least 5-6 years now and it has come a long way from what it was. My biggest annoyance has been fixed which was the app not updating so disabling the alarm you had to shut the app and reopen to get the updated status, so thanks for fixing that. Other reviews mention static IP addresses but you can use DNS address. One request, developers please please please implement push notifications it would make the app so much better and the whole system much more functional.
