Complete confusion regarding Security, X10 security for chuango alarm system

Hi,
After hours of scratching my head and trying to figure this out i reach out to the intelligent masses in trying to answer my questions.
First up my setup:
Domoticz V3.8153
RFXCOM RFXtrx433 USB Version Ext2/1021
Chuango G5 alarm system
I have a Keyfob that is provided by chuango where i can ARM HOME, ARM AWAY, DISARM and SOS/PANIC.

My Goal:
I want to ARM HOME, ARM AWAY, DISARM my chuango home alarm system by "sending" the appropriate commands with my RFXCOM.

I have sucessfully Learn Light/Switch by pressing the keyfob and i now have 2 devices (The keyfob and the alarmpanel probably)
143 RFXCOM A7A6C0 0 CHUANGO KEYFOB Security X10 security Normal
77 RFXCOM 4E9190 0 CHUANGO LARMPANEL Security X10 security Disarm

If i click the DISARM button the Switch in Dashboard changes to status Disarm and if i click on ARM HOME the same switch changes appropriately.

However, if i create a BLOCKLY event where a virtual on/off switch im unable to set the status to DISARM or any other as those settings are not available in the list of available settings. There are only On, Off, Group On, Group Off, Open, Closed etc. etc. etc.

Anyone have any experience or some insight into this?

Are you saying that you dont find "DISARM" named button in BLOCKLY, or you dont find option DISARM in blockly component "DISARM" ?

No. Both me (viewtopic.php?f=28&t=15813) and @GriffinNOOB are looking for a way to create a manual Keyfob Security X10 device in Domoticz to be able to send ARM and DISARM to a X10 home alarm with the RFXCOM RFXtrx433.
That way one could arm the system with rules in Domoticz, instead of arming it with the keybof.

RFXtrx433 is able to send X10, but we can't find a device in Domoticz that can handle this.

Chuango transmits in fact Lighting4 commands. if you enable Lighting4 + X10 the commands are translated to X10 security commands so that the sensors easily can be used as security sensor.

Temporarily disable X10 in the RFXtrx to receive the Lighting4 commands. You can use these commands to transmit the native Chuango commands.

Hi guys,

I have just configured my Chuango KP-700, and in the official of RFXCom, you can read that Chuango devices are only in Recept mode, you can't transmit something to them.

So you won't be able to send orders, you can only get the state from the device !
