Many people are using the Caddx Security System in conjunction with HomeSeer using Nitrox's (David Crawford) Caddx Plugin.

Along with your security zones, this plugin will also create three HomeSeer devices which represent the chime, last alarm, and arm state conditions.

One item that users would like is to have separate devices for the arm stay, arm away, and disarmed conditions. This way those devices can easily be used as triggers for other HomeSeer events based on these three separate armed conditions.

This tutorial will show how to create three HomeSeer devices, one for arm stay, arm away, and disarm conditions, and have those devices change state based on their individual armed status. Important Note: I only tested and used this method on HomeSeer version 1.7.43 and with an older version of the Nitrox plugin (i.e. not the one modified for HomeSeer 2.0). This [How-To] should work fine with the newer software; but, I can not presently test it with those versions.
