Receive Text on Entry or Exit (Elk M1G/ISY)

[jmed999]

I'm trying to get up my Elk M1G and ISY to send me a text when a user enters and exits my home and I need a little help.

Here are my rules...

Whenever Home (Area 1) Arm state becomes Armed
And last user was Becky (User 3)
Then turn output 65 ON


Whenever Home (Area 1) Arm state becomes Disarmed
And last user was Becky (User 3)
Then turn output 65 OFF

And this is my 2 ISY programs...

If Elk Output 065 is off
Then send notification to "Me text" content 'Becky In'


If Elk Output 065 is on
Then send notification to "Me text" content 'Becky Out'


I use notifications in my ISY regularly so I know I have the email/text set up properly I must have an error in my rules or ISY programs. When I arm or disarm using the User 3 code the texts are not sent. I can't figure out why.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Those programs are correct.

Suggestion. .. no need for 2 programs in ISY, use the Else clause. This isn't your problem however.

Did you forget to disconnect ElkRP before testing the program? ElkRP when "connected" causes all other network connections to go offline (including ISY)
Did you check to see that the output is actually turning on/off using your Elk keypad or m1togo to view the status?
Did you check to see if ISY output status page shows the output turning on/off?
Did you check to see if the program is running in ISY and whether it is running true or false?

I vaguely recall some issues with "last user" a few years ago. Make sure you are at the latest M1 firmware & ElkRP software.
