Hello,
I am new to the ISY994i. I have searched the forums and although there are many posts on garage door state/control, I have not found enough information to achieve my objective.
I have the network module installed, and have access to the 32 zones monitored by my DSC alarm system. This includes door status on the two garage doors. Because I had this in place I purchased the iolink rather than the garage control set, hoping to use the existing variables rather than install additional sensors. The relay is working fine to open and close, but I have been unable to get something in place to monitor the state. My hope is to have a scene turn on and off for the state, or some other means to identify via Mobilinc if the door is open or closed. I do not plan on using a kpl button, although I do have one if required.
Is it possible/relatively straight forward to do the above with a program? Is it easier or preferred for other reasons for me to simply run an additional wire from my existing door sensors to the inputs on the 2450?
I have the following program which has the correct state of FALSE when the door is open, True when closed, however it does not change the scene in a way that is visible. Maybe I need to add a KPL button to the scene to reflect the state? ....did I just answer my own question?
if
$Shannon_Garage_door is 0
Then
Set Scene 'Shani's Garage Door' Fast On
Else
Set Scene 'Shani's Garage Door' Fast Off
Any direction is appreciated.
