Question not an issue #6

Closed a7x-bit closed 3 years ago

a7x-bit commented 3 years ago

Thank you for the code. Could you please explain how to get sensor ids? I see in debug, I am reading all my sensors and correct names, however, they are all in hex. How do I add them to templates without knowing which z1, z2 etc? For example, if I have "Living room motion sensor 35" installed, how do I know which id is this? Is it Z35?

Regards,

Dilbert66 commented 3 years ago

The id is the zone that the sensor belongs to. z=zone

Thank you for quick reply. And how do I know which sensor belongs to which zone?

Dilbert66 commented 3 years ago

That's part of your panel programming. When you assign your sensors, you assign it to a zone. You can also just trigger your sensor and see which is showing on your keypad display as open.

We have converted all wired sensors to wireless with receiver SA5881-6NECR. Its wired to vista21iP. It is not default installed code. I cant check the zones. For example when I trigger door, the panel displays "Fault 29 Garage Entry" Does it means its zone29?

Dilbert66 commented 3 years ago

Yes, 29 would be the zone

Thank you kindly. I undestand now. I have to add case id with the zone, and use id in template. It is working now. Thanks for all your help.
