Entry Sensor Doesn't Chime When Opened
I noticed that the upgrade only works if the system is turned OFF. If that is correct, why wasn't the functionality included in the "home" setting? Thanks.

@BritishBiker If the sensor's alarm setting has been turned off, the Entry Sensor Announce feature should work in any armed state, not just Off Mode. I would try resetting the Base Station using the steps below to see if that helps it announce the names of your Entry Sensors in every mode:

Hi Emily, I tried rebooting the system per your instructions, but that did not fix the issue...it actually made it worse. Now, the base station does not "chime" when a door is opened up when the system is in "home" mode. What's next? Thanks

The only time the or any entry sensor chimes when opening is when the system is off as when it's armed in home or away you open it the keypad starts its countdown and base station goes dark or lights out. I have never had an entry sensor beep when my system is armed in any mode, only when off and thats what it should do and was designed to do. Any other alarm system is the same way if it is armed it is not supposed to announce what sensor it is but start the countdown.
