Notifications when armed

Hello,

I have a Vista 21ip with AD2PI. Is there any way to continue to get notifications for zone faults even when the system is armed? I have the notifications send emails to a special account, so I effectively use it as a log.

So, it'd be useful to me if I could continue to get those emails if the system is Armed Stay and the disabled motion detectors continued to trigger. Also, when armed, when a door is opened (and the countdown begins), it'd be nice to see that notification, as well. Similarly, when the system is armed, during the exit delay, when a door is opened, that is currently not triggered. It'd be nice to get notifications on bypassed faults, as well. I have exterior gates which I have sensors on, but need to bypass them when the gardener or garbage man comes. I'd still like to be able to see when the gates are opened.

I realize this is somewhat counter-intuitive for the system, but I believe the panel continues to receive the raw messages. So, it seems that we just need to be paying attention to them. Is this possible?

Thanks!

Wish this was the case, but it isn't. You have to do some really strange tricks with relays and zones to get them to report while armed - it is possible, but it's a programming feat in of itself... there should be examples somewhere in the forum.
