Help with program for DSC Alarm

[ldrinc]

Need help writing a program for my DSC Alarm.  My intention with this program is that it will notify me every hour if the DSC alarm status is not in an Armed Away or Armed Stay status.  Below is what I have attempted. Not sure how to tell the isy to send a message every hour.

 

 

DSC Alarm Monitor - [iD 0046][Parent 00A3]

 

If

        On Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri

        From     9:00:00AM

        To       9:00:00AM (next day)

    And 'DSC Alarm / Partition 1' Status is Disarmed

     Or 'DSC Alarm / Partition 1' Status is Entry Delay

     Or 'DSC Alarm / Partition 1' Status is Exit Delay

 

Then

        Send Notification to 'Jack Only' content 'Security System Not Armed'

 

Else

        Send Notification to 'Jack Only' content 'Security System Armed'

Do you want to be notified at the top of every hour?   Or every 60 min from the time the state changes?

If
        'Alarm / Partition 1' Status is Disarmed
 
Then
        Repeat Every  60 minutes 
            Send Notification to 'Jack Only' content 'Security System Not Armed'
 
Else
        Repeat Every  60 minutes 
            Send Notification to 'Jack Only' content 'Security System Armed'
 

You'd then set it to run at startup.   If the alarm never changes from disarmed, you will get a notification every 60 min (from whenever ISY boots) telling you it is not armed.   The moment it arms, you will get a text, then a text every 60 min from that point.

 

If you want to be notified at the top of every hour what the status is, that would be a a different program.

Thanks much!  Every 60 mins will be ok.  However, if I where to be notified at the top of every hour.  How would I write something like that in a program?

[PurdueGuy]

if you wanted it at the top of every hour, I'd use 2 programs.

 

Program1 is disabled.

If
        'Alarm / Partition 1' Status is Disarmed
Then
        Repeat Every  60 minutes 
            Send Notification to 'Jack Only' content 'Security System Not Armed'
Else
        Repeat Every  60 minutes 
            Send Notification to 'Jack Only' content 'Security System Armed'

Program2 runs every hour

New Program - [ID 00DC][Parent 0001]
 
If
        Time is  1:00:00AM
     Or Time is  2:00:00AM
     Or Time is  3:00:00AM
              .....
     Or Time is 12:00:00AM
 
Then
        Run Program 'Program1' (If)
 
Else
   - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

[PurdueGuy]

Since i think you are running 5.x, if you have NodeLink and ISYData running, an easier Program2 would be:

New Program - [ID 00DC][Parent 0001]
 
If
        'ISY Data' Minutes is 0
 
Then
        Run Program 'Arm (Away)' (If)
 
Else
   - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

[ldrinc]

I am running 5.xx however I don't have ISYData yet.  Still looking to understand its features and benefits.  I will consider if/when I decide to run it.

 

Thanks again for your help.  Much appreciated.
