Cannot get zones to report status when using dev branch. #100

Closed XD36JD2015 closed 1 year ago

XD36JD2015 commented 1 year ago

When using the master branch code, I am able to get statuses (O or C) for all of my zones. When using the dev branch (binary or single partition text) all of the statuses will pull in from my panel other than the zone statuses. I don't know if I am missing something in setup or if there is another problem. Let me know if you need more info from me. Thanks.

Odd, ok, check a couple things. Make sure "paneltext.h" has this line: const char * FAULT = "FAULT";
Also, set debug to 2 in your yaml. VistaECP->debug=2; I've pushed an update to vistaalarm.h to remove some warnings. Use that.

XD36JD2015 commented 1 year ago

Here is a log with debug set to 2 and the newest versions of the files in the repository, logs_vistaalarmtextesp8266_logs.txt

Dilbert66 commented 1 year ago

I don't see the debug print of "The prompt %s was matched" so it means that it's not seeing the "FAULT" message. Did you look at the paneltext.txt file to make sure that; it contains this line: const char * FAULT = "FAULT"; I don't get why it's not finding it on your system since it looks ok.

XD36JD2015 commented 1 year ago

I can confirm that const char * FAULT = "FAULT"; is indeed in paneltext.txt.

Dilbert66 commented 1 year ago

Then I have no idea as it works fine on my end and on yours its not even finding the prompt. Something is different on your config somehow.

Dilbert66 commented 1 year ago

I did find an issue with how I was handling the const char value in the prompt check. Not sure if that was the issue but I've pushed an update to vistaalarm.h.

I have not retested on an esp8266 as I normally use an esp32 so perhaps that's the problem on your end.

XD36JD2015 commented 1 year ago

I'll try the update and report back.

Your changes fixed the issue. Thanks again!
