Disarming a GC3 With a Paired Z-Wave Door Lock

In this video, Jorge shows users how they can disarm a 2GIG GC3 Security Panel using a paired Z-Wave door lock. System codes are automatically pushed to the Z-Wave door lock when the Alarm.com Locks Feature is enabled. You will need active monitoring service and access to Alarm.com for this to work.

It is important to understand that user codes are not directly transferred from a 2GIG GC3 Panel to a Z-Wave door lock. Rather, the process is completed through Alarm.com. Entering a valid system code into the Z-Wave door lock will both unlock the Z-Wave lock and Disarm the GC3 System. However, this will only be possible if the system is currently active with the Alarm.com interactive service platform. Alarm.com will pull the codes from the GC3 and then push them down to the Z-Wave lock to serve as valid lock codes. The lock will also send a Disarm signal to the panel whenever one of these codes is used at the lock. This will let the user unlock their Z-Wave lock and Disarm their GC3 System from one convenient location.

Keep in mind that the process of transferring lock codes from Alarm.com to the GC3 System is not automatic. You will need to grant lock access for the user from Alarm.com and select the lock you want to control. Panel access must also be enabled for that user and their associated code. Additionally, you will need to create an event-triggered lock automation rule from the Automation Menu of Alarm.com that tells the system to Disarm when there is a change in the status of the lock. Specifically, this rule will tell the GC3 Panel to Disarm when the lock changes from locked to unlocked. Please note that you can only create rules from the Alarm.com website. You cannot do this from the Alarm.com Mobile App.
