Sorry about double post... but can't seem to delete original, and i fear i put in the wrong forum.

Have an Ecolink motion sensor that setup fine, accept that i don't have any ability to arm or bypass it. I want this control so i can turn it off via an event.. No amount of searching seems to help me here.

Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Z-Wave motion sensors are assumed to be used for automation purposes, not security. There's nothing in place that would use an armed or bypassed status. You could use virtual devices to simulate a security panel similar to what the rfxcom plugin does and manually add status value pairs to the motion sensor. There's also the BLSecurity plugin that may do what you are looking for.

Funny... it was automatically setup that way in Vera. Every motion sensor device had arm/bypass.

I looked at one of my Vista panel motion sensors to see what the settings were ( they all have bypass), and saw:

Value 103
Status Bypass
Control use: not specified.

i added that to the Ecolink... no idea if that will work.

There's nothing built in to HS that will use that status automatically so you'll have to setup events to use it.

That's exactly what i'm trying to do. But when i setup the event, there is no option to amr/bypass for that motion sensor.
