Plugin script variables?

[Wazoo]

I want to try my hand at creating a script that will announce which zone was tripped until I give the all clear (nothing more disconcerting than the alarm tripping at night and not knowing which zone it is).

Is there and a post or docs somewhere I've missed that lists the HAI plugin variables?

Thanks!

I dont have any variables exposed in the API. But, what you're wanting to do can be handled with regular HS scripting and looking at the devices.

So, you would need to play around with the following:


Now, any time any of these zones are tripped, you will run this script to see which one it was:

Sub Main(ByVal Parm as Object)

Dim speakSomething as String = ""
Dim dev As Scheduler.Classes.DeviceClass

If(hs.deviceString(1234)="NOT READY")) then
     dev = hs.GetDeviceByRef(1234)
     speakSomething = "Zone " & dev.Name(hs) " & was tripped"
end if

If(hs.deviceString(2345)="NOT READY")) then
     dev = hs.GetDeviceByRef(1234)
     speakSomething = "Zone " & dev.Name(hs) " & was tripped"
end if

If(hs.deviceString(3456)="NOT READY")) then
     dev = hs.GetDeviceByRef(1234)
     speakSomething = "Zone " & dev.Name(hs) " & was tripped"
end if

End Sub 

Note that you need to specify "Do not run for xx seconds" to keep it from spamming your speaker clients.

This code is untested and you'll need to play around with it for your system - replace the device references with yours.

Let me know how it goes.
