In this video, Michael from Alarm Grid shows you how to remove a Z-Wave device from a 2GIG Edge Security System. This may also be referred to as clearing a Z-Wave device from the network. When you do this, all Z-Wave network data will be cleared from the Z-Wave device, and you will need to enroll it with a new Z-Wave network in order to continue using it. You can clear a Z-Wave device whether it is paired with the 2GIG Edge, paired with a different Z-Wave controller, or not paired with any Z-Wave network at all. You will still get a notification stating that a Z-Wave device has been cleared. A good practice when adding a new Z-Wave device is to clear it from the network first, in order to ensure that all Z-Wave network data is properly wiped out.
The 2GIG Edge has a Z-Wave Plus V2 controller inside. This is also known as a Z-Wave 700-Series controller. It's because of this module that you are able to pair Z-Wave devices with the system. Paired Z-Wave devices can be controlled locally at the panel, as well as remotely through Alarm.com. You can also include the paired Z-Wave devices with smart scenes so that they activate automatically based on a set schedule or with predetermined system events. All sorts of Z-Wave home automation devices can be paired with the system, including lighting modules, door locks, smart thermostats, and more.
Like most Z-Wave hubs, the 2GIG Edge is capable of supporting up to 232 unique Z-Wave devices. Each paired Z-Wave device is assigned its own node on the system. When you clear a Z-Wave device, that node becomes free, allowing you to pair a new Z-Wave device in its place. This may be necessary if you have a very large number of Z-Wave devices set up with the system. In addition to the 2GIG Edge Z-Wave device limit, the system's automation platform of Alarm.com also has its own smaller Z-Wave device limit of 122 Z-Wave devices.

![Honeywell VISTA-20P, VISTA-15P, VISTA-21iPLTE: Custom Word or Phrase on Alpha Keypad
In this video, Michael from Alarm Grid shows you how to set a customized word or phrase on an Alphanumeric Keypad for a Honeywell VISTA P-Series Security System. This is a great way to add a touch of personalization to your VISTA System, as the message will be there to greet you whenever you use the keypad to operate the system. It will also be displayed on any other Alphanumeric Keypad that is on the same partition as the message that you adjust. For reference, the Honeywell VISTA-15P is a single-partition system that you can just treat as Partition 1, while the Honeywell VISTA-20P, VISTA-21iP, and VISTA-21iPLTE Systems include Partitions 1 and 2, plus a Common Lobby Partition.
The process for setting the customized word or message can be a bit tricky at first, but it really isnt so bad once you get the hang of it. First, you must get into programming by using the command [Installer Code] + [8] + [00]. Remember that the default Installer Code is [4112], so try that code first if you dont know what else it may be. Then get into the Alpha Programming Field with the command [*82]. Choose [1] for Yes, and then enter the two-digit code for the partition whose custom word you are editing. This is [11] for Partition 1, [12] for Partition 2, or [13] for the Common Lobby Partition. Then you will enter the custom word or phrase. The word or phrase can be up to 16 characters maximum. Use [#] plus a two-digit code for enter a character, with character codes ranging from [#32] to [#90]. For reference, letters start at [#65] for A, and run thru [#90] for Z. You can use [6] to move to the next character slot to the right, and [4] to move to the previous character slot to the left. Refer to the systems Installation Manual for a complete list of two-digit character codes. Once you have the desired word or phrase entered, press [8] to save. Then exit programming by entering [00] at the Custom? screen, followed by [0] at the Program Alpha? screen, and lastly [*99] to exit programming. The change will be saved, as long as you pressed [8] at the screen when entering the custom word or phrase.
