I purchased a Nortek GoControl GB00Z Glass Break Sensor, part #B01BKWGAAA.

 

I'm not sure what to use to include the sensor in an ISY program, specifically what Status or Control to use to signal a glass break detection which I can use to trigger a siren.

I'm really not quite sure what the difference is between a Status and a Control.

 

Should I use an
   "AND Control is ON'

condition in the If statement?

Or...

Should I use an

     'AND Status is Responding'

condition in the If statement?

 

Thanks.

Thanks!  I just happened to have found that article too

 

I get the diff now, but I'm still not sure what to choose for the glass break sensor.

Seems it should be Status but which of Status=Responding and Status=100%?

Use the Status=100% option, or something different?

Thanks.

You would use *Control* for such a sensor in many use cases.

Thanks, I've updated my programs.

 

I think that also answers another question I had on FirstAlert combination Smoke and CO Alarms.

I had those set to use Status but that always shows as 'On' in the device state summary, so was triggering my siren.

I just changed the programs to use Control. I'll test the Smoke alarms with some smoke, see if it triggers as intended.

Both devices are life and safety so the use of *Control* is the selection. Keeping in mind to address part of your other question there isn't a partial status for the two pieces of hardware you asked about. Its either on or off there isn't a 67% of being on or off that would be kind of like being *Half Pregnant*

 

Either you are pregnant or not . . .

My Program is:

If 
   Control 'Smoke Alarm' is switched On

Then

   Send Notification to "TextMe'

   Set 'SirenStrobe' On

Else

   Set 'SirenStrobe' Off

 

I'll test it soon with Smoke, check it's working.

 

 

BTW, I'm a guy.  If I'm pregnant you'll see me on the news.

@hmwave I also bought the same device , see http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/19999-gocontrol-nortek-z-wave-glass-break-detector/ .
