Z-Wave Lock Events Script - Discussion Thread

[doomngloom]

no additional info in the log. everything else has to do with my other devices.

BTW thanks for your assistance and quick responses.

Can you change the line

Dim Debug As Boolean = False

to

Dim Debug As Boolean = True

and post the log snippet from when it runs?

[doomngloom]

Here you go.

[sparkman]

What's the reference ID of your lock's notification device and what's the reference ID of the control device?

[doomngloom]

Lock Notification reference id 166 control device reference id 162

to confirm, that's the ref= in the uri correct.

wow. thanks for helping me. i got it fixed.

the issue was i put in for the notification parameter the virtual device not the notification device. once i entered the notification device into the parameter it worked immediately. Stupid user error

Great, glad you got it working.

By default, the script will only send emails for warnings and errors. It won't sent an email for lock/unlock events. If you want that, the script will need to be modified. Let me know and I can help with that.

Al, will this work as well for enabling the script to email events? What if we add this following:

Dim EventEmail As String = "email@email.com"
...
ElseIf Person <> "" Then 'unlock announcements
If Speak Then hs.speak(Person & " has unlocked the " & lock,False)
If email Then hs.SendEmail(EventEmail,FromEmail,"","","Door Unlocked - " & lock,lock & " " & Person,"")
If Pushover Then hs.RunScriptFunc("pushover.vb", "Main", "Door Unlocked - " & lock & "|" & Person & " has unlocked the " & lock & "|" & "low|none" , False, False)
End If

[doomngloom]

For simplicity I personally just added the line "Alert" under the person line. That sends out the email for me.
Case 501
Person = "xxxx"
Alert = "Unlocked by xxxxx's Code"

[doomngloom]

also you might need to add the below.
Dim Email As String = ""

End If

Yes, something like that should work. I've been thinking of redoing the script completely to make it easier to setup and to deal with some other issues with it, so if there are any requests or suggestions, let me know.

I had a question. Is there a specific reason to use a virtual device for the logging history vs using the automatically added Door Lock Logging device Homeseer added when I added my kwikset device?

That would be great. I'll try both methods now.

Case 501
Person = "xxxx"
Alert = "Unlocked by xxxxx's Code"

This worked like a champ. Didn't need to declare the Email variable.

Thanks,

It was intended to be used in HSTouch or other interfaces and show the last 10 lock events. Most logging child devices will only show the last event.
