Text Who Armed and Disarmed System

[pjjameso]

Currently receive a generic text when system is armed. Would like to have a text which indicates who (using different codes on the ELK) did the arming and disarming.

 

Has anyone already done this, and if so would you mind posting your program?

 

Thanks in advance.

It's easier if you let the Elk do it. Write an Elk Automation Rule that says "If Keypad is Triggered and Last User Was XXX" with a Then clause that sends an email. Of course, an email can be sent to the phone number at the carrier for automatic conversion to a text.

 

I use a dummy Output (those above 65 and not used by an expansion card) to tell ISY when a specific user does something.

 

Elk Automation Rule:

 

"If Keypad is Triggered and Last User Was XXX Then Turn Output 200 ON".

 

On ISY I have a Program that does something like:

 

If

Elk Output 200 is ON

 

Then 
Send Notification XXX

Set Elk Output 200 OFF

Not only is it "easier" to do it with Elk programming as Shannong pointed out, it must be done that way.  ISY does not have the "last user was" function.  So, the solution above or something very similar is pretty much how you do that.
