jmed999 Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 I can't seem to get the ISY to send me the zone violated went an alarm goes off via a text. Anyone know how to do this?? Thanks!
apostolakisl Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 You go to configuration:email/notifications:customizations Click "Add new" at the bottom. In the subject line box use the drop down menu to select "security" and "alert zone status" then manually replacing the # with the zone number.
jmed999 Posted October 12, 2012 Author Posted October 12, 2012 So I would have to do this with every zone if I want to know which zone has been violated that made the alarm go off, right?
apostolakisl Posted October 13, 2012 Posted October 13, 2012 No, you can have it send the status of as many zones as will fit in a text message. Just keep adding that command over and over. Use the body section and put a return after each one. Until you reach the limit of characters for a text you can keep adding. Frt Dr ${elk.zone.1.status} Bck Dr ${elk.zone.2.status} Fam Dr ${elk.zone.3.status} However, it won't necessarily tell you what zone caused an alarm unless the zone is violated at the time of the alarm. In other words, your doors that have time delays could very well be secure again prior to the alarm condition. You would need to have it send you a text every time any one of your delay zones was violated while armed (not just while in alarm). This may make for a bunch of nuisance texts . . .or maybe not . . . depends on what you consider nuisance. EDIT: Not to UDI code guys (Michel). . . perhaps it might be nice to abbreviate "normal" and "violated" to save on characters? Just a thought.
