Thus, your security system has just been rendered ineffectual and completely useless.By not changing the default code, you might as well be giving a User code to everyone you allow entry into your home.

Don't take that chance!Unfortunately for most Vivint customers, you cannot prevent this exploit, you have to have Vivint change Q43 in programming due to their Draconian polices which prevent their customers from making changes to the configuration. Any success with getting Vivint to change Q43 to allow this?What would be the benefit of disarming with a duress code? Wouldn't that automatically cause the central monitoring station to be on alert and possibly dispatch police?I doubt Vivint will do it, a User needs to get them to reset lockout, and then do it themselves.As for duress. Vivint currently has 700,000 customers. I doubt Vivint will do it, a User needs to get them to reset lockout, and then do it themselves.As for duress.

Vivint currently has 700,000 customers. Ok, thanks for the info.

I'm running 1.9.6 which you said is indicative of AT&T 3G. I tried entering the serial number into the surety site referenced in the other thread and got this message: 'Sorry, your Alarm.com cellular module 800XXXXXXX can not currently be used with a new Alarm.com account. It is aleady registered with an Alarm.com provider.' Are you saying I should now call night tech support and get a firmware update to something newer than 1.9.6? Or are you saying they just can't do that at all?

Or are you saying they just can't do that at all?Last time I checked, Vivint doesn't offer its customers newer firmware (see ). You can do it yourself though see firmware downloads discussion board.
