Does otherdevices['Domoticz Security Panel'] not work any longer? Topic is solved

[Keleos]

Hello everyone,

does the following bit of code does not work any longer?

Code: Select all

if (otherdevices['Domoticz Security Panel'] == 'Arm Away') then

because I do not get this code working:

Code: Select all

commandArray = {}
tc=next(devicechanged)
MCS_switch=tostring(tc)

-- Pruefe den Ausloeser Name auf "Tuer"
if (MCS_switch:sub(5,8) == 'Tuer') then

    -- Ist das Domoticz Security Panel auf "Arm Away" gestellt?
    if (otherdevices['Domoticz Security Panel'] == 'Arm Away') then

        -- Eintrag in das Protokoll schreiben
        print('Oeffnung der Tuer erkannt an: '..MCS_switch)

        -- Ereignis in Variablen merken
        commandArray['Variable:LastAlarmDevice'] = 'Oeffnung der Tuer erkannt an: '..MCS_switch
        commandArray['AlarmDetected']='On'

        -- Benachrichtigung senden
        -- commandArray['SendNotification']='Oeffnung der Tuer erkannt an: '..MCS_switch

    end
end

return commandArray

The Domoticz Security Panel State is ignored totaly

Don't think that ever worked as that needs to be 'Armed Away'.
I use this way to test it by the way:

Code: Select all

if (globalvariables['Security'] == "Armed Away") then

Hi,

thank you very much for your response

The strange thing, the following code enables and disables the Alarm Panel but I'm not able to get the state

Code: Select all

commandArray = {}
tc=next(devicechanged)
Panel=tostring(tc)

-- Pruefe den Ausloeser Name auf "Keypad"
if (Panel:sub(5,10) == 'Keypad') then

    -- Die Variable "Security Panel" auf den Status des Keypads setzen
    if (devicechanged[Panel] == 'On') then

        -- Eintrag in das Protokoll schreiben
        print('Keypad Alarm-Status: Arm Away')

        -- Domoticz Security Panel deaktivieren
        commandArray['Domoticz Security Panel'] = 'Arm Away'

    else

        -- Eintrag in das Protokoll schreiben
        print('Keypad Alarm-Status: Ausgeschaltet')

        -- Domoticz Security Panel deaktivieren
        commandArray['Domoticz Security Panel'] = 'Disarm'

        -- Ereignis in Variablen merken
        commandArray['Keypad Ack'] = 'On'

    end

end
return commandArray

I'm trying to set up this description:

Did you try this using globalvariables['Security'] to retrieve the current status?

Jos

[Keleos]

No, how could I do this?

Not sure what you exactly want to do so please explain what you want to accomplish exactly with this the status value?

I just tested the global variable you recommended and it works wonderful

I try to test if the Domoticz Security Panel is set to "Armed Away", "Armed Home" or "Disabled" so every sensor recognizing a motion knows if he should trigger the alert.

Now I can continue scripting. Thank you very much
