MWareman Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 OK - very - very bugger forum software it seems. I had a whole post - and everything after the first quote got lost. Grrrr..... I'll try again. I have two programs to notify me via Pushover.net of the armed status of my Elk. If Elk Area 'Area 1' 'Armed State' is Armed Stay Then Resource 'Pushover GP - Alarm Armed Stay' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') (This is repeated for 'Stay', 'Stay Instant', 'Night' etc..) If Elk Area 'Area 1' 'Arm Up State' is Armed Fully Then Resource 'Pushover GP - Alarm Fully Armed' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') When I arm the system, I get a pushover ping 'Arm Stay' and immediately I also get 'Fully Armed'. Then, 30 seconds later (after the exit timer) - I get a second (and correct now) 'Fully Armed'. Why do I get the first 'Fully Armed'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Jahn Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Hi MWareman, All of these are the events are generated directly from Elk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrj0 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 There is an entry in the Wiki that may help: http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-99i_Series_INSTEON:ELK_Security_Module#Program_Examples "The Elk system itself sends events Armed Away, Armed Fully, Armed with Exit Timer, and Armed Fully in that order. We are uncertain as to why ELK sends the first Armed Fully. The workaround is to put a 2 or 3 second wait at the start of your program" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWareman Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 Hmmm. That problem is when I hit 'Stay', both programs immediately trigger. Then, 30 seconds later, the second program triggers again. I lean with Chris here - I think Elk is sending a bogus 'Fully Armed' signal. How exactly would a delay help this?

MWareman Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 Ahh - I see. Keep the first program the same, modify the second to be more specific, with a small delay. I'll give that a try tonight. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big517 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I'm running into the same issues, and noticed it says "Armed Fully" before the armed status.... I was trying to differentiate when the exit timer is on, and the system is fully armed. I'll try the delay as well. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
