Programming Help

Hi, I'm still figuring out my new M1, getting it down pretty well so far. I have run in to somthing I thought was going to be simple(Can't get it to work) If anybody can give me a little advice it would be great.

What I am trying to do is...

I have 3 garage doors with contacts installed on them. When any one of the doors are open, I want to Flash the F5 button on all keypads 15 minutes after they are opened and continue to flash until they are closed.

In addition, I want to press the F5 button to activate one of three relay outputs, When the F5 is pressed I want the zone or zones that are not secure to pulse one of the three relay outputs.

Any Suggestions?

Thanks,
Mike

I'm in an airport, but there is an example on the elk website. I don't remember if it goes into that one, but one way might be to put those sensors on one zone (so any one of them breaking will trip the zone). Then the examples will work without modification.

I would think though if you follow the instructions on the elk site then it would work (with one sensor on each zone, but setting it to flash the same F number).

I will try to help more in the morning or later when I have more time.

EDIT: I see I misread your question.

This is a rather long rule set, but should do it. Maybe someone can find a more efficient way:

Paraphrasing......

First, in the keypad configuration, associate an output with F5, lets say output 55. Also, check the box to make the light blink.

Second, label 3 additional outputs as "door timing" (say output 100) and "door open" (say output 101), "timer expired" (say output 103).

Third, connect some outputs to your three garage doors, lets say outputs 11, 12, and 13.

Then create these rules:

Whenever door 1 is not secure,
then turn output 100 for 15 minutes
then turn on output 101

Whenever door 2 is not secure,
then turn output 100 for 15 minutes
then turn on output 101

Whenever door 3 is not secure,
then turn output 100 for 15 minutes
then turn on output 101

Whenever door 1 is secure
and door 2 is secure
and door 3 is secure
then turn off output 100
then turn off output 101
then turn off output 55

Whenever door 2 is secure
and door 1 is secure
and door 3 is secure
then turn off output 100
then turn off output 101
then turn off output 55

Whenever door 3 is secure
and door 2 is secure
and door 1 is secure
then turn off output 100
then turn off output 101
then turn off output 55

Whenvever output 100 turns off
then turn on output 103 for 2 seconds

Whenever output 103 turns off
and output 101 is on
then turn on output 55

Whenever F5 key on any keypad
and door 1 is not secure
then turn on output 11 for 2 seconds

Whenever F5 key on any keypad
and door 2 is not secure
then turn on output 12 for 2 seconds

Whenever F5 key on any keypad
and door 3 is not secure
then turn on output 13 for 2 seconds

END

(edited to eliminate possible logic race)

Try something like this

Under automation rules:

Whenever every 15 mins
And zone "XX" become not secure
Then run Automation Task "XX"

Whenever Keypad button f5 is pressed
Then activate output XX (gatage door)


On the keypad set Illumination event to Automation Task XX and check the blink box

You can also add a voice message to go with the blink by clicking on the task icon and imputting some words like "Garage door open " . I'm not sure on weither the blinking light will go off immediatley witht the 15 minute rule.

Sorry, forgot to mention that the 2nd "Whenever" in my last post IS Automation Task XX

Thanks, I have it kind of working. I seem to have some sort of timing issue. Sometimes when the door/doors are opened, the F5 starts blinking after 15 min(Perfect). Sometimes the F5 starts blinking just after the door/doors are opened. And this morning, I got up and the F5 was blinking with all doors closed.

Any suggestions...

Here is what I have programmed so far.

Whenever Zn 24 becomes not secure
Then turn output 100 on for 15 mins

Whenever output 100 state is turned off
then turn out 55 on

whenever zn 23 becomes not secure
then turn output 100 on for 15 mins

whenever zn 25 becomes not secure
then turn output 100 on for 15 mins

wnenever zn 23 becomes secure
and zn 24 is secure
and zn 25 is secure then turn output 55 off

whenever zn 24 becomes secure
and zn 23 is secure
and zn 25 is secure
then turn output 55 off

whenever zn 25 becomes secure
and zn 23 is secure
and zn 24 is secure
then turn output 55 off


I have the F5 button on the keypad programmed=7055=output 55 state

Thanks again,
Mike

Anytime you turn off output 55 also turn off output 100.
