I just edited Sensor Text on the Concord 4 panel but HS3 is still showing the old sensor name.Do I have to manually edit a config file in HS3/Concord Plugin to reflect this change.

Originally posted by concordseer View PostI can certainly do that. Does the plug-in read the zone/sensor names only once on an initial startup. I thought that when you selected Get Zone Details from the Configuration menu it would pick up any change made on the panel automatically including Zone name.
At least that's what I think I remember it does

It's possible (coding wise) to do it but it's not necessarily a simple process as you many occasionally remove a sensor/device from the panel for some reason and not want it removed from both the plugin and HS3 (ie you may use it in an event or such). So probably it would need to be a manual process (ie checkbox, etc)

Yes I removed a sensor/zone on the panel and it still remained on the plugin. That sensor/zone is now null as it doesnt exist anymore on the panel.
I assume you have all the zone/sensor info stored in a database file. Maybe you could write a routine to cleanup the database by comparing what is stored in rom on the panel v what is stored in the plugin database using the panel info as the reference point.

I'll take a look at it.
BTW, why did you remove a sensor?

I've added a new sensor/zone directly at the Concord control panel, restarted the PI and it picked it up straight away with the name I supplied at the control panel. The same does not apply if I delete the sensor/zone. It might be a feature you could possibly consider. It would keep the control panel in step with the PI as far as Concord sensors/zones are concerned.
