I have a secu16 I/O interface and am using input 7 (I/O point 6) to detect mailbox open or closed. Closed is 0 logic level and Open is logic high. I am using Bruce's cpuxa plugin for x-10 and I/O interfacing. I have the older adicon leopard 1 display/controller.
What I want to do is detect when the mailbox is open and speak a message and display a mailbox open graphic. When the mailbox is closed it will display a mailbox closed graphic. If the mailbox is left open, after 10 minutes it will speak the message "mailbox still open". If still open needs to speak this message every 5 minutes until the mailbox is closed and then the script will stop and be waiting for the next time the mailbox is open.
Your help on this will be much appreciated and will give me a good sense of scripting for new homeseer software.
Also wondering if in the HS3 software all of this could be done strictly with an event? Seems the event capabilities in the new HS3 software are more substantial. Interested what your thoughts are on these matters and thanks for your help ahead of time !!!!!! Rick
