Arm/Disarm security with a script [Solved]

[johansson]

How do I set the security panel status to ArmAway/ArmHome/Disarm with dzvents? I'd need just a push button (or dummy switch with Alexa) for kids to arm the alarm, i.e. switch cameras on etc.

Probably too simple, but just couldn't figure it out.

Thanks in advance.

How do I set the security panel status to ArmAway/ArmHome/Disarm with dzVents?

below is one way of controlling the security panel with a dzVents script.

[EDIT] used armHome() twice should have been disarm()

Code: Select all

return
{
    on =
    {
        devices =
        {
            'armAway', -- push Buttons
            'armHome',
            'disarm',
        },
    },

    logging =
    {
        level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG, -- set to domoticz.LOG_ERROR if all OK
        marker = 'Security', 
    },

    execute = function(dz, item)
        local security = dz.devices('Domoticz Security Panel') -- or any other name you gave the panel device

        if item.name == 'armAway' then
            security.armAway().afterSec(60)  -- You have 60 seconds to leave the house ...
        elseif item.name == 'armHome' then
            security.armHome()
        else
            security.disarm()
        end
    end
}

Perfect! It was just as simple as it should have been, but missed few details here and there - now it works.

Thanks waaren.

I had to edit my previous post. Please use that one.
