The weather forecasts on my iq panel seem to be off. For example today the high will be 90 and the panel shows 79. Is there a fix?
Happy to help! Records indicate that you currently utilize the Surety Alarm service plan. Weather to panel updates are not included at that service level. As such, commands cannot be sent to update the weather.
Okay, I understand weather updates are not part of my plan. So why would the weather information (which is wrong) still be shown on my panel? Why wouldnt those weather icons be removed? It’s interesting the alarm.com weather projections I see on my mobile devices are somewhat accurate.? Is there any relationship between my plan and what is displayed on alarm.com?
Weather on the panel comes pre-loaded and the feature cannot be disabled. The weather data that you currently see is a place holder.
The weather forecast and icons only appear on the Alarm.com account if there are no video devices on the account. Should video ever be added, and video cameras included, the weather forecast on the Welcome card is replaced by video clips.
Okay one last question, is there any other “place holders” on the panel that would give erroneous information at the Surety Alarm level of service? By the way the disabled weather forecast on the panel this morning was close.
Weather is the only bit of information displayed on the panel that would be incorrect/not updated at the Surety Alarm plan level.
Just for the record, the weather information has been present and has even been totally absent, icon and all. When it’s present, it does change values from day to day which are bogus projections for my area.
