I've seen a couple posts/feature requests going back a year or two, and also on Envisalink forum around this. Figured worth a poke to see if anyone has a solution.
I just finished getting my Vista 20P, EVL4, and HS3 all talking together and all is working well when in disarmed mode. I would like to use status from a couple Vista hard-wired motion detectors to trigger HS events, when in armed-stay mode. For example, use living area Vista motion to turn on/off lights at night if someone gets up.
From what I've read on EVL forum, the Vista 20P doesn't send status when in armed state. Seems to be resistance or ignorance around any solution that would do this, like why the heck would you want that? I posted to reddit homesecurity and one person claims (with pictures) that they have this working (getting HS3 status on Vista sensors while in Stay mode), but they didn't do the programming, didn't know how it was done. So it does seem possible, I just don't know how. Any ideas or am I just left getting HSM200 or Z-wave battery wireless motions dedicated to HS3 for the homeauto functions I want?
