failing to compile after uncommenting "define MONITORTX" #94

when i tried to compile to push new code to the esp module, it errored out. my system is also displaying a bf error, and everything except ac power and system status shows up as 'unknown' or 'C', did i miss a step?

compile log is attached logs_vista20p_upload.txt

You need to have the # in there as in #define. That's a preprocessor directive. A comment is two slashes // in front. No slashes then it's not commented out. The #define is already uncommented. You might want to also try the "dev" branch instead as it has a few fixes.

that worked! its compiling again but still shows the same status as before in HA. i may have wired it wrong. is the esp supposed to connect directly to the big vista20p board? i used the wires that used to go to the adt board.

on a side note, how do i clear the 'bf' error on the keypad? the only ways i saw used an envisalink

Check if you get panel cmd packets in the esphome log. If not, then your connection is bad. I have no idea what you mean by an adt board. As long as you connect to the green/yellow and black wires of the bus. The error you show indicates a connection problem with LRR I believe. For initial testing make sure lrrSupervisor is false and all the expander and relay addresses are 0 in your yaml. Otherwise I have no clue what your issue is. You can try entering your access code + 1 a couple times to clear errors.
