One question off topic I see these options under console category what is "BEEPER OFF" & "BEEPER ON"? (An example maybe?)
236. // Disable beeps when armed away so as not to annoy pets.
//
// First block: Disable beeps when arming away or vacation.
//
// Second block: Enable beeps when an entry/exit zone is violated and the security is not
// off.
//
// Third block: Enable beeps when security is NOT away or vacation.
237. WHEN AWAY
WHEN VACATION
THEN All Consoles DISABLE BEEPS
238. WHEN Front Door NOT READY
WHEN Office Door NOT READY
AND IF Main House NOT OFF
THEN All Consoles ENABLE BEEPS
239. WHEN OFF
WHEN ARM DAY
WHEN ARM NIGHT
THEN All Consoles ENABLE BEEPS
Many thanks on the above example, question on this thought. I have the following lines:
18. TIMED 8:00 AM MTWTFSS
THEN All Consoles ENABLE BEEPS
19. TIMED 9:00 PM MTWTFSS
THEN All Consoles DISABLE BEEPS
In your example, if we vacated the home and armed the alarm say at 1 pm, the console beeps would be disable. That is good for the dog
Then say we came home after 10 pm, my code above would have also been processed and maintaiedn the console beeps being disabled at 9 pm.
Since the front door was open at 10pm, the console beeps were enabled in order to have an
audible entry delay.
But if I am not mistaken now the console beeps remain enabled, which is not good as I need them off from 9pm until 8am the next morning, so it doesnt wake my daugther, panic the wife etc... (My setup dials out to my cell (and emails) with most everything, so it is not that I miss anything due to the console beeps being disabled in the evening after 9 pm)
So it seems I would need an additional block of code that re-disables console beeps after I disarm the alarm when entering in my example at 10pm so for the rest of the evening there are no additional console beeps until the following morning at 8am.
I hope I explained this well, and appreciate the assistance in creating the proper logic.
I wanted to share what I have come up with for my particular setup should it be helpful to anyone else.
8. WHEN BATTERY LOW
WHEN HAI 83A00 Battery NOT READY
(This a HAI Power Hub backup battery, set to a trouble zone)
THEN RUN Battery Low (email) (
HAI snap-link emails me, I would get an email once an hour until its fixed/replaced, as the battery check default is once an hour)
THEN LOG Battery Low (
The Omni panel auto logs Low battery so I do get a duplicate entry, I have this for the HAI83A00 battery on the trouble zone, I could break this out into another block but didn't want to waste the space; I am ok with the double log should it be the main panel battery thats low.)
9. WHEN BATTERY LOW
WHEN HAI 83A00 Battery NOT READY
AND IF TIME CLOCK 1 ENABLED (
8am - 9pm)
AND IF Low Battery State OFF (
Flag, so even if it's in the OK time to say via the console (8am-9pm) it doesnt say it more than once as well as only call me once; battery gets checked every hour and you may not be around or have a spare to replace it, so via this flag I make sure it once say it once.)
THEN Flag_Battery Low ON FOR 10 SECONDS (
Need this delay as the voice board needs to finish say'ing via console before dialing out to call me and announce the same)
THEN SAY (Pause) BATTERY LOW
THEN SAY (Pause) BATTERY LOW
THEN Low Battery State ON
10. WHEN Flag_Battery Low OFF (
Console finished announcement, turned this flag off above, so now we are ready to dial out and announce)
AND IF BATTERY LOW
OR (
hope this OR is correct for my logic, will be testing today)
AND IF HAI 83A00 Battery NOT READY (
My understanding is since the Power Hub cannot reset the status on this troubled zone from Tripped, I have to use "NOT READY")
THEN PHONE 1-XXX-XXX-XXXX AND SAY (Pause) BATTERY LOW
11. WHEN BATTERY OK
WHEN HAI 83A00 Battery SECURE
THEN Low Battery State OFF (
reset the flag for the next time a battery gets detected to be LOW/Trouble)
