    Plug-in Polling DSC question

    Can someone explain this setting please:

    Number of minutes to poll DSC system (0 - disable)
    Note: This is the number of minutes that the plug-in will poll the DSC system for all of the current values. Enter 0 to disable polling.

    If I'm using my DSC's zones to trigger events (i.e. turn on a light when you trigger a PIR), and keep track of armed status, what should this number be set to?

    Thanks
    Chris

    It is the number of minutes that a request status will be sent to the DSC system. This happens when the plugin first starts but I give the option to poll it every x minutes
    Mine is set to 60 minutes

      So if the HS3 can see zone and partition changes as they occur in real time, then what exactly does the polling do?

      Does it simply re-check the status to confirm that it's still what the HS3 thinks it is...my guess is yes because you're polling infrequently, right?

      Thanks

        It is just extra protection to keep everything in sync
        You could likely set it to 0 to disable it.
