can we set the chime mode?

[carteriii]

The chime mode is clearly visible through the area.GV2 variable, but can we set that variable directly? When I create a program, the only options in the drop-down for setting the area are Query, Bypass, Clear Bypass, Set Armed Status, Set Poll Voltages, and Set Additional Trigger. Is there another way, or would this be considered a feature request?

If it matters, my use case is similar to my use of Alexa announcements for doors opening (e.g. "the front door just opened"), but we've also used the chime since the Alexa announcements can have such a delay. I disable the Alexa announcements when we really want things quiet, and I'd like to be able to similarly disable (& later re-enable) the chime.

It should be there, I'll look into it.

Yes, works fine for me.  'Home' is my 'Area 1'.

I do not believe that I have that option. This is using IoX 5.8.4 on Polisy.

To make sure I'm thinking of this correctly, let me first show a screenshot of the ELK plugin, showing the nodes, showing that "Main Floor" is my 'Area 1' (similar to your 'Home'), also showing the Chime Mode as GV2 that I mentioned in my first post:

Now let me show a picture of the dropdown selection list in the admin console:

I feel like I must be missing something obvious, but I can't figure it out. Perhaps I'm just being an idiot (it's been known to happen). Could IoX not be showing all the options? I'll paste the "About" from the admin console here, and you can see my ELK version in the first screenshot above.

@Jimbo.Automates I hope you don't mind me tagging you directly, but since you posted above, I'm hoping you can perhaps share a screenshot from your admin console that would confirm whether (a) I'm being stupid, or (b) something is missing from my installation.

For what it's worth, I notice in your screenshot above that you are testing and setting 'Alarm-Elk / Home' whereas instead I see only the area name without the pre-pended alarm name. The only places I see a similar concatenation is with the list of tasks or outputs (e.g. "ELK Controller / Output-001"). My area "Main Floor" shows at the same level as the controller itself:

I thought it might help to also post a screenshot of what I see when testing the chime mode. My area ("Main Floor") does allow me to test the chime mode, but does not show a value of "Off" as yours does. Instead I have "Silent" and "Single Beep" as you can see below. Does this indicate a version difference? IoX v5.8.4 shows a date of 2024-06-27 (shown in my earlier screenshot) so at a minimum it doesn't seem old. Any thoughts, or is it time for a support ticket?
