I had a lot of issues getting the alarm system to work well with the current stable Domoticz release. Now it seems to work. I'd like to document here what I've done, to help others (and prevent them from wasting several hours, like I did...). Feedback is welcome.

My conventions:
- All "Door" sensors have names that start with "Door" ("MCS_" in the original version)
- All motion sensors have names that start with "Motion" ("PIR_" in the original version)

I created the following dummy devices (Virtual Switches):
- "AlarmDetected": Becomes Active when an alarm is detected
- "VirtualSiren": The device that triggers physical siren(s). Using a virtual device for this makes it easier to support multiple sirens/signaling devices, and solves some other problems. "Sirene: Innen" is my physical siren.
- "AlarmSirenTrigger": Used for the siren delay

The original LUA code has only been modified slightly. Here it is:

Event "MotionAlarm" - Device:

Code: Select all

-- Title: script_device_PIRAlarm.lua
-- Date: 12-11-2015
-- checks for PIR during Alarm Away status
-- if detected then alert and set the alarm flag
-- 
 
commandArray = {}
 
tc=next(devicechanged)
PIR_switch=tostring(tc)
if (PIR_switch:sub(1,6) == 'Motion') then
	if(otherdevices['Security Panel'] == 'Arm Away') then
		print('Movement detected on '..PIR_switch)
		-- commandArray['SendNotification']='Movement detected on '..PIR_switch
		commandArray['Variable:LastAlarmDevice'] = 'Detected movement on '..PIR_switch
		commandArray['AlarmDetected']='On'
	end
end
 
return commandArray

Event "DoorAlarm" - Device:

Code: Select all

-- Title: script_device_MCSAlarm.lua
-- Date: 12-11-2015
-- checks for MCS during Alarm Away status
-- if detected then alert and set the alarm flag
 
commandArray = {}
 
tc=next(devicechanged)
MCS_switch=tostring(tc)
if (MCS_switch:sub(1,4) == 'Door') then
	if(otherdevices['Security Panel'] == 'Arm Away') then
		print('Door open/close detected for '..MCS_switch)
		commandArray['Variable:LastAlarmDevice'] = 'Detected door open/close on '..MCS_switch
		-- commandArray['SendNotification']='Door open/close detected for '..MCS_switch
		commandArray['AlarmDetected']='On'
	end
end
 
return commandArray

Event "KeypadAlarm" - Device:

Code: Select all

-- Title: script_device_AlarmPanel.lua
-- Date: 19-11-2015
-- this scrip switches the Alarm Status according to the alarm panel
--
commandArray = {}
 
tc=next(devicechanged)
Panel=tostring(tc)
if (Panel == 'Keypad Alarm Level') then
--      set the group to the status of the switch
        if (devicechanged[Panel] == 'On') then
                print('AlarmPanel Arm Away')
                commandArray['Security Panel'] = 'Arm Away'
        else
                print('AlarmPanel Disarm')
                commandArray['Security Panel'] = 'Disarm'
                commandArray['Keypad Ack'] = 'On'
        end
end
return commandArray

Event "SirenDelay" - Device - triggers siren after 30sec:

Event "SoundSiren" - Device - actually enable the siren once the delay has passed:

Event "CancelSiren" - Security (!!!) - Cancel False Alarm by disarming while siren is active:

Hey guys, I've been using this solution for quite some time now, but with the slight change in some blocky's. I never got the user variable to work in a HTTP notification. It always results in an empty error (2018-06-27 06:29:50.501 Error: HTTP:) in the log. As I said, i've been using this solution, but with static texts instead of the wanted user variable. Do you guys found a way around it, or is this just a shortcoming of Domoticz?

commandArray['Variable:LastAlarmDevice'] = 'Detected door open/close on '..MCS_switch
