Sentinel Compatibility

[dgregjones]

I have a BCD436 and was thinking about adding a HomePatrol 2.
Does anyone know if the 436/536 Sentinel software is compatible with the HP 2?
The Sentinel start page lists 436/536 & SDS 100/200.
I was hoping I could just easily download all my FL's into the HP 2.

Thank You.

The HP1 & HP2 have their own version of Sentinel (current is version 2.03.02):

HomePatrolSentinel < HomePatrol < TWiki

Favorites lists can be interchanged between the 2 in the .HPE file format via the export and import functions in Sentinel.

Sentinel for 436/536 & SDS 100/200 has a green icon
Sentinel for HP1&2 has an orange icon

Thank you for your reply.
I downloaded the software version 2.03.02.
However I am unable to import the .HPE file. It seems the export part is working.
I went to the easy to read Sentinel software site.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

I got it. I just have to remember what I did.
I have 23 FL's which I have to do 1 at a time.
I wish there was a select all option.
Thanks for you help.

My brain isn't functioning very well right now - getting too old.

At any rate there are some additional fields in the x36 version of Favorites Lists that are absent/not used in the HP version. So once you get all those things exported/imported, review in the x36 Sentinel for any blank fields and populate accordingly. (If as time goes along you want to go from HP to x36).

If you have both versions, always use the SDS/x36 Sentinel as your master copy, and export to the HomePatrol.

Got it.

Thank you all for your replies.
