Garage Alarm Reminder

[tibbyriggs]

Hi,

I have an OmniPro II that I installed when we were building 5 years ago. I've added a few UPB light switches and all is well. I would like to program (using PC Access) this light to blink, if the garage door is opened when the system is armed.

(reason: my husband has a haibt of pulling into the garage and checking his email before he comes in......I think the blinking light would remind him......maybe)

Anyway, I cannot determine what that transition period between armed and alarm is referred to or see any mention of it.

Thank you.

I would try something like:

27. WHEN Garage Overhead NOT READY
AND IF House NOT OFF
THEN Garage Light BLINK (1.00 Sec) FOR 1 MINUTE

I feel so stupid. I tried to use the Alarm being set as the trigger and the Garage Door as the Condition with no results.
This is perfect. Thank you so much.
Programming this is not at all like Fortran, or Pascal, or C++.....live and learn.

The programming took a bit to get used to coming from C++ and C#. The panel is event driven. The WHEN only executes when that condition happens. For example WHEN ARMED AWAY will only execute once when the system is armed away. While it is armed away the WHEN statement will not execute again.

I use this code which does not allow me to set the alarm with the garage door being open. I totally forgot that I had this code installed and the other night it happened. It worked perfectly.

4. WHEN ARM NIGHT
  AND IF Garage Door 1 NOT READY
   THEN SHOW Single Garage is Open WITH BEEP
   THEN All Consoles BEEP 2
   THEN PROGRAM DISARM
