    Event not reading alarm state

    I have a simple event to flash a light if the alarm is not armed when I go to bed (actually, triggered by an ASPX when I set the sleep timer on TV). Trouble is, it always flashes the light regardless of the alarm system state. I've tried deleting and re-adding the event but same results.

    Any ideas?

    This looks like a HomeSeer bug. I submitted Bugzilla bug number 2005.

      Sounds like a similar issue to the one in this thread: http://board.homeseer.com/showthread.php?t=168214. If you're triggering an event manually, it will ignore the conditions. I see a couple of options: check the status of the panel in your aspx page rather than the event and only call the event if the panel is not armed, or call a new event that triggers your existing event. In the new event, make sure you check the "Run Only If Event Conditions Are True" checkbox.

        The "double event" trick worked, but I don't really understand why. My initial event was not manually triggered, unless hs.triggerevent is "manual". Either way I learned something. Thanks for the help.

          Glad you got it working. Yes, triggering an event by using "hs.triggerevent" is equivalent to triggering it manually.
