Garage overhead door sensor

[Anthony A.]

so i finally wired up the secolarm garage overhead door sensor to my OPII. i have it set as an auxiliary zone type as i don't want it to set off any alarms. my intentions is to simply have it display on the omni console when the door is open. seems this is harder than i thought. i made a rule in the automation page that reads:

when garage overhead door not secure,
then show "garage overhead door open"

unfortunately this doesn't work as i planned. when the door is secure, the omni shows system ok. as soon as the garage is opened, it displays "garage open" but does not stop showing it when it returns to being secure. what am i missing here? any ways around this to make it a simple way of telling whether the door is open or not?

thanks.

On the Elk M1G messages need to have a method of clearing them or they just stay put. Don't know about OPII but perhaps you need to right a second rule that goes something like "when garage overhead door secure, then clear message"

and so it is. thanks so much for the quick reply. that did the job. never even knew there was a clear message button until now.

Hi! My programming looks like this:


WHEN Garage Overhead Door Floor NOT READY
THEN SHOW Garage Overhead door NO BEEP

WHEN Garage Overhead Door Floor SECURE
THEN CLEAR Garage Overhead door
