CAUTION:  

The website will issue a warning about the number of zones attached to the panel. Unlike Concord and Simon, 

the Alarm.com gateway cannot learn the number of zones from the panel. By default, the gateway will assume that 
eight zones are installed. If the number of zones is different, you will have to send a command to the panel later via the 
Customer Support page of the Dealer website.
