Help to recognize when I'm home

[CJVann]

I need ISY to know when I come HOME. So I want to trigger when I'm "Armed Away" and I disarm the system. Any suggestions? I tried something like below, but it seems the Access Code is always valid unless an INVALID code is entered. Even simplified to "Armed Away" and "Access Code is Valid" will trigger as soon as I press the "Exit" button on my keypad, and triggers again when I enter the Acccess Code.

If
       Elk Area 'Gabby's Home' 'Armed State' is Armed Away
   And Elk Area 'Gabby's Home' 'Alarm State' is Entrance Delay Active
   And (
            Elk Keypad 'Entry Keypad' 'Access Code' is Valid
         Or Elk Keypad 'Back Door' 'Access Code' is Valid
       )

I have struggled with the need to recognize when each person comes home.

 

a simple rule allows a phantom output, or counter to be set by user is not available

 

And then the first person last person out issue needs to be solved...

Users are assigned to areas

Keypads are assigned to areas

Entering a user code toggles the system to arm or disarm

So I come home and disarm the system, when my wife comes home the system arms when she enters her code

 

a work around is to use keypad F1-F6 to set a phantom output or counter to set the home/away status.

 

Playing with access fobs and Insteon keypad buttons now...

[NNilsen]

Got first person in/out resolved...

one rule to toggle on, another to toggle off

Whenever zone (x) or

Whenever area (x) ARM STATE BECOMES DISARMED AND LAST USER WAS (X) / THEN TURN OUTPUT (x) (ON/OFF)

 

Work around to allow 2nd person to change home occupancy status...

Create automaton tasks to set the phantom outputs provides keypad access to set home and away

Keeping it simple is goal but...

EXAMPLE: "Me" home = 6 key press [ELK]>>02# (only 2 more than user access code)

 

NEXT 1: work on using automation tasks and rule logic to develop first person disarm, last person arm

NEXT 2: add rules logic to auto arm and set away mode for all when no motion on any sensor is detected in (x) time period

I'm not sure whether you are asking specifically for you when YOU come home and disarm, or whether you just mean when anyone disarms the system. But either way, set your if to "if elk armed state is disarmed". This will trigger whenever the armed state changes and run to true if disarmed. If you only want it to trigger when it goes from armed away to disarmed, then use 2 programs

 

If

Elk armed state is armed away

Then

Enable program 2

 

Program 2 (set this program to disabled when you first write it)

If

Elk armed state is disarmed

Then

do whatever

Disable program 2

 

If you want it to specifically run only when a certain user has disarmed the alarm, then you need to use the last user function which is only in elk rules. You can set a phantom output as mentioned by Nilsen and have ISY check the output status.
