I am trialing the Vista Alarm plug-in to see if I wish to purchase it.
Unfortunately, the trial copy is not working (all status information is "Unknown", I am not able to see the last panel message and none of the commands to arm or disarm work).
I am connected to a NuTech AD2USB which is configured correctly and functioning. I had been controlling my Vista Alarm using the AlarmDecoderApp running on Ubuntu.
When I attempt to configure the plug-in, the entry fields on the "Settings" tab do not match what are in the instructions under the "Help" tab.
Settings Tab:
Vista Model (mine is pre-populated to "Vista 20p", which is correct)
Security Code (I entered my Master Code)
Zone Sort ("by Number")
Message Time: 10 (secs)
There are also three check boxes; all are checked:
Enable debugging
Suppress duplicate alarm messages
Auto start monitor when HS starts
Help Tab:
Specifies "Panel Code" not "Security Code" (I assume this is the same)
Adds an Interface Address, which I assume is a key missing value
Has "Default Location 2" value is not on the Settings tab
I did set up a Partition, setting Partition 1 to use "Device Address" 19 (which is what I configured using the AlarmDecoderApp) and the "User Code" is set to the same as the "Master" code
There are also discrepancies between the Help and the "Zones" tab. Finally, in the HS3 log the Firmware version is reported as "Unknown" in a response to a "V" command being sent to the system. I know this data is returned accurately when I had the AD2USB connected to my Ubuntu system.
Is the trial version different than the purchased version? Does the trial not provide the same functionality (in which case I would queston calling this a "trial").
Assistance is requested.
