Need some advice.
I'm using the DSC plugin 3.0.0.34 on HS3
It works fine with the Maxys system installed.
I had written a script for an earlier version of the plugin to do the following:
when an alarm is triggered, I want to send an email showing:
which zone triggered the alarm
current status of all zones.
Checking the current status of all zones is usually not enough to determine what triggered the alarm because by the time the script runs, the door/window/motion has usually been restored. So my script was parsing the log for that info.
However, with 3.0.0.34 the log format changed quite a bit and doesn't display the zone number in clear as it used to. I see this
Processing response: Zone Alarm-{0x3E}6010042B
What is the best method to do what I need? Is there a way to do this without parsing the log?
Is there a DSC plug-in documentation that would be helpful for scripting?
Thanks.
