BLSecurity Scripting Question

[randycboone]

Forgive me, but I'm still struggling greatly with scripting in HS3, but . . .

Why is it, when I write:

Sub Main(parm As Object)
   hs.PluginFunction("BLSecurity", "", "SetSecurityModeArmed", Nothing)
   hs.PluginFunction("BLSecurity", "", "SetSecurityModePerimeter", Nothing)
   hs.PluginFunction("BLSecurity", "", "SetSecurityModeSleep", Nothing)
   hs.PluginFunction("BLSecurity", "", "SetSecurityModeDisarmed", Nothing)
   hs.PluginFunction("BLSecurity", "", "ResetAlertStatus", Nothing)
End Sub

. . . all but the line containing "SetSecurityModeDisarmed" return "Error in PluginProc: Parameter count mismatch." ??

Each of these lines is taken directly from the BLSecurity Help File.

Try this:

Sub Main(parm As Object)
   hs.PluginFunction("BLSecurity", "", "SetSecurityModeArmed", new Object(){True})
   hs.PluginFunction("BLSecurity", "", "SetSecurityModePerimeter", new Object(){True})
   hs.PluginFunction("BLSecurity", "", "SetSecurityModeSleep", new Object(){True})
   hs.PluginFunction("BLSecurity", "", "SetSecurityModeDisarmed", Nothing)
   hs.PluginFunction("BLSecurity", "", "ResetAlertStatus", new Object(){True})
End Sub

See the help web page in the plugin for details on the calls.
In HS3, it appears that optional parameters cannot be optional for some reason

Thanks. That worked. The examples I had used came from the help page in the plugin. Is there another to which you are referring? I don't see the syntax you've supplied in the help file on my HS machine.

And how and when is the "Last Alert Device" referenced?

Do you not see the Help button link when you select BLSecurity under the Plugins dropdown menu in HS3?

On the Help web page you should see scripting calls. They should be listed there.
Some of the parameters to the calls say they are optional but in HS3 that does not seem to be the case for some reason. I will have to ask Rich about this.
I will have to check once I am home to verify

On mine (HS3) the Help file does not show this format. It shows the one in the OP's post.

Yes, I see the Help button link, and when I press it, yes, I see the link for Scripting calls. But there is no reference to anything optional. I can do a text search on the page for the word "optional" and it returns 0.

In addition, the "More Alert Options" referred to in the help file, does not appear in my options page. Where should I find it?

And though my SH624 and KR32A remotes will arm the system, neither will disarm it. I'm probably missing something basic. I'll keep working on it.

I just bought your plug-in a day or so ago, after my initial trial period ran out. This is proving to be a challenge but I'm up for it, if you are.

I will try and have a look tonight. I will be out tonight but will check if I get home early enough
If not it will be tomorrow

[Blade]

Ah yes. My bad
I forgot to update the help
I will do that and get it in the updater

[Blade]

2.0.10 is in the HS3 updater with the updated help

[randycboone]

2.0.10 is in the HS3 updater with the updated help

Thanks.

Where do I find the "More Options"?

[Blade]

It is on the options web page in the alert options section

Found it! Thanks.
