switching alarm panel Topic is solved

[JuanUil]

Hi,

I am trying to switch the domoticz security panel in lua.

I tried:

Code: Select all

if (devicechanged['Thuis'] == 'Off') then
	print ('testing')
	commandArray['Security Panel'] = 'Arm Away'

no result

Code: Select all

if (devicechanged['Thuis'] == 'Off') then
	print ('testing')
	commandArray['Alarm Panel'] = 'Arm Away'

no result

Code: Select all

if (devicechanged['Thuis'] == 'Off') then
	print ('testing')
	commandArray['SecPanel'] = 'Arm Away'

no result

anyone any idea what i am doing wrong?

I think you have to use: security.armAway()
See: wiki
and search for: Security Panel

I am using LUA not Dzvents so this is not working.

Okay, sorry. Missed that part.

In this topic also some interesting tips about this issue: https://domoticz.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=1785
Can you manually set the security panel (with the PIN code)?

found the problem!
The panel was not in the devices tab.
So I changed the code, armed and disarmed it manually. then the panel appeared in the devices tab and I could use it in my LUA script.

Thanx everybody.

Just take care that string used to check security panel status is different than the one to change it, for instance:
Check if Disarmed :
devicechanged[devSecPanel] == 'Normal'

Set status (if may be done by something external to secpanel, script, BT/Wifi presence detection using smartphones...):
commandArray[devSecPanel] = 'Disarm'
(To arm, this would be setting 'Arm Away').

This tricked me a few times...
