I have the following automation code. When we pull into the garage, it lets us know if the alarm is armed:
Both "Garage door" zones are defined as X4 ENTRY DELAY. "Garage alarm armed indicator" is a red light bulb screwed into a plug-in socket, which is plugged into a UPB lamp module.
When one of us arrives home and the alarm is armed, as soon as the garage door opens, block 4 turns on the red light. That lets us know that the alarm is armed and we need to get to the console inside the house and disarm it. If the red light doesn't come on, the alarm is not on; no hurry. However, I've noticed something. Occasionally, my wife and I both arrive home at the same time. When the first garage door opens, block 4 turns on the red light. However, when the second garage door is opened during the entry delay, the "AREA 1 ANY SOUNDER ACTIVATED" condition in block 5 becomes true, and the light starts to flash. The intent of block 5 is to let us know when we enter if the alarm has been activated. (We do not have an external siren or strobe.)
Am I misunderstanding the meaning of "ANY SOUNDER ACTIVATED"? Or is this a firmware bug? The two garage door zones are connected to an expansion enclosure, if that makes any difference.
