Thanks again for the explanation. I was curious about the definition of zone type 5 since it is called “trouble day/alarm night”, I was trying to figure out how to convince it that it should stay in day mode. Sounds like the fact is, it has nothing to do with night or day, but whether the panel is armed or not. Any way to set the gate zone as perimeter but auto bypass it when alarm is set? As a side note when I was setting up the voice descriptors, the word “gate” is not in the lexicon. Seemed odd.
