How can I arm a CAO reed sensor from an ISY program

I am able to send data from a CAO tags to my ISY (thanks to this forum).  What I am trying to do is create a program that will let me arm or disarm my motion and contact sensor from my ISY.  I can't find any way to address the sensors through API or external means.

 

is it possible

Welcome to the UDI forums!!

I do not own any contact sensor Tag, but I have seven of other types. All my Tags have an enable/disable for almost every parameter for each Tag. You only need to click on the parameter in the CAO webpage app and select an option.

IIRC the Tag NS has an option to change options also, selected by pulling down the correct menu in the program line design section in the admin console. This may be shown and selectable in the device page in the admin console.

I don't believe it is, at least in the nodeserver.  I just use the Wireless Tag webpage to set an arming/disarming schedule, which is adequate for my needs.  You may do it with a Network Resource or a Kumoapp, but I haven't taken the time to explore doing it.

thanks for the quick replies

I have a KumoApp setup that will arm and disarm.  And it works fine from the Tag webpage.  That is all fine.  What I want is to push a button on my Insteon device that will trigger the z-wave door locks to lock and the CAO sensors to arm.  I have the ISY program locking the doors, but arming the sensor is where I am getting stuck.

Are you not using ISY to filter your notifications? I know this may not be exactly how you envisioned it  but I try to let ISY control all logic as it is very easy to modify when I change my mind each week. :) 

This may be better posted in the Tag NS / Polyglot thread or flag @Jimbo, being much more knowledgeable on this subject and the polisher of the NS.
