Blackbird Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 I tried a program that when I turn on a light the elk will disarm but it didn't work. Is this possible?
KeviNH Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 Would you really want the ISY to be able to disarm the alarm? High risk, low reward. Looking at the Wiki, it should be possible, if you enable it in Elk, see also this thread.
Blackbird Posted October 21, 2016 Author Posted October 21, 2016 I haven't setup monitoring yet and don't have the app so just wanted a temp way of disarming if I'm not at home
MWareman Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 You can disarm thru the API, with the code as a parameter. The Wiki documents the API calls needed (search the Wiki for API). You could create a network rule to call the API (use the real IP of ISY, NOT 127.0.0.1 - otherwise the ISY bay hang!) and then use that network rule in a program. However this will bypass the code security somewhat... Plug: My Android app does this thru the API.... Other phone based options, off the top of my head.... Agave should also be getting Elk support soon, that would be a future option. You could use Tasker to create a custom button to call the API. If you are on IOS, Mobilinc has an Elk module that enables it.
Blackbird Posted October 22, 2016 Author Posted October 22, 2016 I might just get Agave probably the easiest
DennisC Posted October 22, 2016 Posted October 22, 2016 If you just need to disarm/arm your Elk, MWareman's Home Alarm app is a perfect way of doing it.
