clarkes71 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Trying to find a way to automate house mode in ISY. Currently, I have an alarm system for the house. When the alarm system status changes (Armed Away, Armed Stay or Disarm), I have it send mail to a specific email address. I use MS Outlook to process these emails using VBS script, which then updates a text file with the current house state (house status variable). Is there a way to get ISY to import or process this variable? The outlook VBS script can obviously be changed to do anything... what would be the best way to notify/update ISY of the house state? I know I could use a KPL button, but prefer to automate.
Xathros Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Your VB script could call a /rest command to set a variable in the ISY. Something like: http://:@/rest/vars/set/2// -Xathros
