Hi,
I am currently running VeraEdge as a HA controller and have a plugin for my Vista 20p alarm panel. It's a known fact that Vista does not report status in armed mode. As a workaround, AD2USB allows configuration of virtual relays that can be mapped to zones and status of relays are reported by the system using !REL message regardless of armed/disarmed state. So, in Vista plugin for VeraEdge I can configure those zones like RF and assign Address/Serial of 12 (for example) and Channel/Loop from 1 - 4 for each of the virtual relays. The messages that come from alarm panel look like this:
!REL:12,01,00 (no fault)
!REL:12,01,01 (fault)
These work great for detecting motion for example from wired sensors when alarm is armed to stay. Or detecting which door was opened when alarm is armed to away.
I can't quite figure out if the same is possible with HS3 / Vista plugin. I see the !REL messages in the log (for example below I am triggering motion detector 5 times after alarm is armed to STAY):
----------
May-05 8:40:46 PM Vista Alarm !REL:13,01,00
May-05 8:40:46 PM Vista Alarm !REL:13,01,01
May-05 8:40:46 PM Vista Alarm !REL:13,01,00
May-05 8:40:46 PM Vista Alarm !REL:13,01,01
May-05 8:40:46 PM Vista Alarm !REL:13,01,01
May-05 8:40:45 PM Vista Alarm !REL:13,01,00
May-05 8:40:42 PM Vista Alarm !REL:13,01,01
May-05 8:40:39 PM Vista Alarm !REL:13,01,00
May-05 8:40:36 PM Vista Alarm !REL:13,01,01
May-05 8:40:15 PM Vista Alarm [0011030110000000----],008,[f70000051008038c28020000000000],"ARMED ***STAY***You may exit now"
----------
But I can't seem to find a way to configure these relay zones in HS3 plugin. Is it supported? Or HS3/Vista setup only supports reporting of wired zones in non-armed state?
Thanks.
