Zone Mismatch

[mmb]

Hi @Goose66, for the most part the Envisalink node server is working well at my brother's small condo.

I did note that upon node initialization the main partition and zones 1 - 8 were created in PG3.  Only 4 physical zones are actually used.

The main problem is our wireless window sensors zones 17 and 18 are missing. These wireless sensors were added well after the original DSC installation because a window replacement mistakenly deleted the wiring to the original sensors zones 5 and 6.

Is there anyway to correct this by adding zone 17 and 18?

Thanks in advance!

There is no way to query the panel (at least through the EnvisaLink) to determine which zones are “used.” The only way is to set the “numzones” Custom Configuration Parameter to 18 and restart the plugin. Upon restart, it will generate 18 zones in the node tree. Unfortunately, even if you delete the unused zones in the Admin Console, they will be regenerated when the plugin is restarted.

Perhaps I can add a to-do to only generate new nodes based on the Custom Configuration Parameter settings when the user clicks the “Discover” button in the Polyglot Dashboard.

Thanks I'll give that a try.

Update: That worked, all good.

I now have 18 zones, a discover would be excellent 👍
