Alarm system 'wiki'

[maomanna]

"Iemand Thuis" is a dummyswitch which is triggered by a pingscript.
Both smartphones (my wife's and mine) have static ip.
If one of the smartphones is pingable (in range of the wifinetwork) it turns the dummyswitch on.
If both smartphones are away (even when wifi is turned off) it sets the dummyswitch to Off.

But it seems that the script is crashing my domoticz at about 23:00 in the evening.
So i'd like to find another option to check of someone is home (and not the burgular!)

Ok. That makes sense.

I've created all blockly's but whatever i try i can't seem te trigger the alarm sirene.
The sirene only seems to work when i manually set in "on".

Are all you're blockly's in one event or are they all saved as different events like i did ?

[maomanna]

You made all the dummyswitches?

Can you post all your blocklys? Maybe something is wrong.

I'd like to add another thing to my blockly but dont know how. When the siren is panicing my ip cam needs to send me a picture. How do i do that?

Hi heggink and off course all other members.

I love the simplicity of approach and setting this up with Lua scripts and blockly.

As I'm quite new to Lua, I've followed you're wiki exactly, but the Lua scripts MCS and PIR aren't updating the user-variables!? (I've named my sensors starting with PIR_ and MCS_)

Is there an easy way to test the script step by step?

BTW: I've read that after upgrade from Beta there seems to be an bug? What I also noticed is that in Domoticz shows the setting of the user-variables is between "value" (quotes) is this correct behaviour?? => figured this out....is dependig the blockly variable you're using

in soundSiren you did not specify your siren itself.

Maybe it is in your case to set it to panic instead of On.

[spyseiko]

Thanks, will try it asap.

Has anyone figured out a way to switch off the keypad through lua or blocky? I want to automate the alarm switching off when a known phone connects to the wifi (simple) but I cannot find a way to switch off the keypad other that through rfid tag/PIN .

Check that box "Event Active" and save, if they are red they are not active and will not be executed.

Can you switch it of in the GUI?

[heggink]

nope.

[Egregius]

Hmmm, I would have sayed look up the command the button sends...
You could try some of the udevice or reset security JSON calls. Not sure if it will work, my minimote can't be switched in the GUI either but it reacts on a udevice call.

[heggink]

not sure I understand. For a z-wave device? D sends a zwave command...

[Egregius]

Try url's like these (look at the wiki)

json.htm?type=command&param=udevice&idx=123&nvalue=0&svalue=Off
json.htm?type=command&param=resetsecuritystatus&idx=123&switchcmd=Normal

[spyseiko]

Thanks for all advices, Alarm system is working perfect now.

[maomanna]

I combined the blockly's from 5/6 blockly's to 1.



I see a little mistake:
I used 2 times PIR_SKvoor.
I changed it to my other PIR.

[spyseiko]

Looks good, does is slow down triggers in anyway ?

[maomanna]

No, not mentionable at least.
I only need to add Write to Log, so it is clear what is happening.

[heggink]

this must be the mother of all blocky's haha . Nice.

Unfortunately, I am a bit tied for time ATM. Otherwise I would have updated the Alarm wiki to include my new setup (dummy devices rather than variables, some extra functionalities). The downside is that it's grown quite a bit (very functional and as good as a commercial grade alarm with much more ability to report/control) and someone should really try it a-z to check if nothing is missing...
