Security Panel only performs Off Action Topic is solved

[u01pei]

No matter what alarm panel state is activated, domoticz always triggers the OFF action, The On action is never triggered.
The way I figured it supposed to work is:
Disarm: Perform Off action
Arm away or Arm Home: perform On action.
even better would be separate script action for Away and Home

Is there a specific reason why only the Off action is performed?
If nobody knows I think I'll post this in the bugs section.

Can you make up your mind as to what action is being performed? You first said the ON action is never triggered, but then you ask if there's a reason why only ON is performed... Can you be clear with what you're actually asking?

Excuse me for the mix-up, I've changed it.

Can you make up your mind as to what action is being performed?

Next time you point out a mistake, maybe you can reconsider your choice of words? the part about making up my mind is received as offending.
Thank you in advance.

Why dont you perform your actions via Script? ie,
devicechanged['Security Panel'] == 'Armed' or 'Disarmed' or 'Armed Away'
also: devicechanged['Security Panel'] ~=' Disarmed' for NOT disarmed to catch both armed states

The Security Panel needs some scripts behind it one way or another to be useful, the On/Off actions through the UI are more of an artifact than useable for anything.. I could see them being better than changing the behavior.

Thanks for the reply,

I ended up doing something like you suggest in bash. This works fine for me, so there is no longer a need for the panel On/Off action.
