Is there a way to use a NFC or RFID tag to trigger a device? for example, I would like to add a tag near a lock and use my phones NFC function to read the tag and pass a message to the eisy to unlock the door which is already controllable through the eisy.

This worked. Thank you

I will live this a go. sounds like this will work. Thanks

So would the "if" condition just be left blank and then the Echo device would trigger the "than" by turning on the "program name"?

Yes this issue was annoying. No instructions and colors were not that easy to fined. Incase anyone is still looking, its as follows: Yellow = Z-Wave Red = Zigbee It would be easy to just color code the words on the USB case to match the antenna ring color.

Adding the ability to use the state of a scene as the condition "if" in a program would effectively create a vertual switch and would be very useful.

lol, well that didn't work.. I guess there is no way to bring in a variable into a scene..

I'll give it a try. I was also going to try and setup a scene that just changes a variable from 0 to 1 and then wait some time and change it back. During the "1" state, a program could be triggered to toggle the zone bypass with wait time between each zone signal. In that way, the scene would reset for the next time it's needed since the zone will toggel back on its own when the alarm is disarmed. I'll give it a try and see..

Its a DSC and in my case I would have to reconfigure the zones or split the zones into a 2nd partition. This would then make using the keypad not so user friendly.

This would and does work if you use the admin console or even UD mobile etc, but I don't think I can trigger the "then" branch from the Echo device without something in the "if" logic check. The echo device needs to toggle a switch or scene.

I am trying to create a program or scene to automate bypassing three highly use zones on my alarm panel and I am having trouble using scenes or programs to do this for the following reasons. Scene - I need to delay the zone bypass command for each zone as sending the command all at once results in only the first one being accepted by the panel. I have not been able to find a way to put a pause or Delay between each zone that needs to be bypassed using the scene function. Program - I don't have a logical trigger to start the program. For example I am not toggling a switch to cause the scene to occur. I need something like a virtual switch to trigger the function then the program would send the bypass command to eat zone and then wait in between. My intent is to use an Amazon echo and send a command to trigger the program. Any advice would be much appreciated.

It came back up. Did not have to do anything to get it working again.

Same issue here
