Arrynrob GV and alarm system

f2s

When GV stopped working for me, I factory reset and flashed w/ Arrynrob. Now, in and out bound calls on the home phone functions as usual, but the analog phone line connected to alarm no longer works. I recall when you first setup the Obi it asked if you this will be connect to an alarm system. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

DTMFTransmitMode to InBand?

Hello.
It seems like a lot of work, instead of just paying $20/year for VOIP.MS and using a standard provider. You are using third-party firmware, beyond scope.

Yeah, the stock firmware had a specific prompt during the initial setup asking if you’re connecting it to an alarm system. That was basically the only setting needed to make it work. If you didn’t select it during setup, you have to factory reset to get that prompt again.
I was hoping someone knew how to trigger that or if there was a hidden setting I was missing. Other people had success just flashing the firmware while keeping their original stock settings, but I reset mine before I knew about this firmware thinking it was defective, so I lost all those settings.

I have always use Google Voice number as the home phone and the alarm system until it stopped working. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought the spirit of third-party firmware was all about tinkering.

nightwalker how would that work with VOIP.MS? What would he plug the alarm system into? a OBI device, a digital phone? I think there are 4 wires on most alarm systems..

nightwalker For me, its not the $20/year… Its the fact we had it all for free with GV and OBI. Who would have ever thought that OBI would shut down their servers… Its like you buy a car, and a few years later, the dealer decides to permanently disable your car.
