dinostop Posted January 19, 2022 Posted January 19, 2022 I have finally gotten most of my DSC Alarm up and running and integrated with ISY. My question is, ISY only shows 16 zones but with my Smoke and CO detectors I have 21 zones so far. Is there a way for ISY to see them all? I have the DSC 1864.
Goose66 Posted January 19, 2022 Posted January 19, 2022 What is your method of integrating the DSC Alarm with your ISY? Knowing that will allow the question to be answered by the right person.
dinostop Posted January 19, 2022 Author Posted January 19, 2022 I have the Envisalink module connected to my DSC and use the Node Server on my Polisy for the integration.
GTench Posted January 19, 2022 Posted January 19, 2022 I also have the Envisalink module connected to my DSC and use the Node Server on my Polisy for the integration. I have 48 zones that all show up on my ISY. This has been running for quite a while now but I believe that I got the 48 zones to show up by setting the node server parameter (under details) "numzones" to 48. Don't recall if I uninstalled the node server first before reinstalling it with the updated zone count. Has been working great! Gary
dinostop Posted January 19, 2022 Author Posted January 19, 2022 @GTench Worked perfect thank you. I added the parameter then restarted the nodeserver and it updated it.
GTench Posted January 19, 2022 Posted January 19, 2022 oh and I also bumped up the "numcmdouts" parameter to 14 in my case...Gary
dinostop Posted January 19, 2022 Author Posted January 19, 2022 @GTench those parameters were not in the nodeserver when I added it. I had to put them in manually now that you told me what they were. Thank you again!
GTench Posted January 19, 2022 Posted January 19, 2022 You're welcome. One other thing that I found quite useful is that when I connect sensors to a zone with type 26, the zone will not trigger an alarm when tripped but will still send an open/close signal to the node sever. I found this useful for a number of home automation purposes. For example, I put contacts on the freezer door in the basement so that if the door is accidentally left open it will flash the kitchen lights Gary 1
brians Posted February 7, 2022 Posted February 7, 2022 Is there plan to make Envisalink DSC on PG3? Thanks.

bgrubb1 Posted February 8, 2022 Posted February 8, 2022 @Goose66 does that include HW Envisalink and Autellis Pentair ?? ....Barry
Goose66 Posted February 8, 2022 Posted February 8, 2022 Yes on HW Envisalink. I haven't looked at Autelis Pentair in a long time, and again the issue is I just have no way to test it. When I convert Autelis AquaLink, I will take a look.

I have a revised version of your Autelis Pentair that I currently have running on PG2. I never submitted it to the store because it's not really what I call "polished" but it works. I started another version with a clean copy of the template to make a completely revised version but it never was finished or tested because the Home Assistant integration was released and my need level went down (I use the home assistant interface more because I can adjust the salt cell using it, but my light controls are still on the ISY side). The major difference between my version and your original version is that mine only creates nodes that don't have default names in the pentair controller and mine creates the nodes with the names as used on the pentair side. I probably have a better understanding of how Pentair equipment works than the average user, I'd be happy to test anything for you. Edited February 9, 2022 by MrBill
dinostop Posted February 9, 2022 Author Posted February 9, 2022 I am having an issue with m integration with my DSC alarm and my ISY. When I lock my door at my house I have an ISY program that says if front door is locked and user is 1 then set alarm to armed away. I have another program that is for the unlock based the same way. Seems that sometimes it works and sometimes it does not. More often it doesn't work. My locks are zwave Yale electronic keypad.

dinostop Posted February 9, 2022 Author Posted February 9, 2022 The below program is the locking program the unlocking program was the same I have no created 3 separate locking and 3 separate unlocking programs isolating the user number in each rather than putting into 1 program and that seems to be working better.

This is exactly what i was expecting to see... and it won't work... even if you used parenthesis. you need 2 programs: if 'Alarm / zwave....' is switched Alarm locked by keypad then Run Program 'check_user' (if) Program check_user (disabled) if user number 1 or user number 2 or user number 3 then Set Alarm Arm Away The second program should be disabled, it will still run when run by the first program. Apologies for abbreviating the typing... if it doesn't make sense then repost your program in text form instead of a screen shot and I'll cut and paste it precisely.... to to that right click the program name in the program tree and pick "copy to clipboard" (the last option) and then paste the text into a post...
dinostop Posted February 9, 2022 Author Posted February 9, 2022 @MrBill Thank you, that seems to work. Do you have a program that is setup that for an example a zone (back door) is not closed and you use the front door lock to leave and arm the system to tell you that it isn't ready or to have the system bypass the zone that is open?
MrBill Posted February 9, 2022 Posted February 9, 2022 I don't have a program that I've done for something like that.... but what you would want to do is add another program into the chain.... change the then of the second program... something like... Program check_user (disabled) if user number 1 or user number 2 or user number 3 then Run Program Check_status (if) else (none) Program Check_status (disabled) if Status ready then Set Alarm Arm Away else Send notification "couldn't arm system a door was open" ---- obviously you can do whatever.... I don't have the system so I'm unsure what nodes are available so I can't be more specific but I can give you ideas on techniques to follow...
