setting the door chime to ON instead of toggle?

Featured Replies

Greetings, I'm new to all this Polyglot stuff and I'm not a programmer so forgive me if this is a stupid question. I have the EnvisaLink-DSC plug-in installed and working properly. Now I want to be able to turn the chime to ON. I was able to successfully setup a program that toggles the DSC alarm door chime but I cannot figure out how to write a program to set the door chime to ON, instead of a toggle. I can see in the details of the plug-in that shows the Value change from 0 to 1 when the chime is toggled on. I can also see that there is a reference to a node ${sys.node.n002_partition1.GV0} as well as a UOM (I have no idea what that is) of 2 and a driver that shows GV0. Can someone please tell me how to write a simple program to turn the door chime ON regardless of current state it is in?

Thank you!

Not really sure what you are asking. In toggle mode (true) you get a chime whenever an assigned zone opens or closes. In false mode you never get a chime. Are you wanting to do something different?

Not familiar with the Envisalink but depending on which DSC panel *4 will toggle the chime on each time any sensor is open or closed. Check your user manual for info.

Right now, I have a program in EISY that says to toggle the door chime at 10 PM. Since I typically leave the chime off, the program would turn the chime on at 10 PM. However, if someone else manually turns the door chime on before 10 PM, then the toggle turns it off, which is not what I want.

So what I want to be able to do, but don't know how to do it, is to write a program in the EISY that says to turn the door chime ON at 10 PM (not toggle it). That way, no matter what state the door chime is in at 9:59 PM, at 10 PM it is always turned on. I can see in the configuration of the Envisalink in Polyglot that the details of the plug-in show the Value changes from 0 to 1 when the chime is toggled on. I'm just not sure how I go about writing a program to switch that value to 1 programmatically.
