Its finally here! Trigger events based on who armed or disarmed the panel.
i'm looking for a few brave souls to try this out. It requires enabling the Long Range Radio on your panel, a new plugin and a new ad2usb firmware. Lots of change.
Please follow my installation procedure below so you can test the changes as you install and upgrade components.
Requirements
- An V2.2 or V2.3 AD2USB with firmware ademcoemu_V2_2a_5_beta.zip (provided below)
- V2.0 ad2usb are not supported
New Features
- Adds a trigger what that will identify which panel user (by user number (1 to n) armed or disarmed the system. No new devices are created at this time.
- Revised the firmware upload feature of the plugin
Installation and Configuration:
0. Backup your homeseer mdb and the vistaalarm.ini. This is very important if you want to rollback if something goes wrong. Please do not skip this step!
1. Install the new plugin (shutdown hs and replace the old dll with the new one)
2. Test the plugin that its still working with your current ad2usb.
3. Use the plugin to load the new firmware attached below; unzip to your desktop to make finding it easy. See the Firmware page in the plugin
4. Test the plugin again that its monitoring zones, etc
5. Enable the LRR from the plugin config page
6. Configure the panel as outlined on the nutech page below
7. Create a "Vista Alarm User Trigger" as a test. You need to provide the paritition, user id (1,2,etc) , and event. user 1 is the Installer code, user 2 is the master code, user 3 is the first created user code, etc. You have to know which user code are mapped to which user numbers. The plugin does not manage this.
8. Arm the system from a keypad and see if the trigger fires.
9. report your results
10. Good luck
Please refer to the nutech.com post to configure your panel to enable Long Range Radio messages (LRR). I can only help a little on this. I'm no expert on the dozen or so panels. The following should help. See the "Long Range Radio Emulator !LRR Messages" section for details.

If you are willing to give this a try, please post a reply so I know someone is taking the plunge.
