Difference CMD Alarm and Triggert?

[Nastras]

Hello @MiguelRipoll23,

I need your help. I want to set my alarm system so that when the alarm is triggered a CMD command (command_triggered) is sent to me via a script.

After 60 seconds the CMD command (command_alert) should be executed and the sirens should start.

But I can't get it set up like this. In my case both scripts for both commands are executed immediately after the sirens are triggered.

Would be cool if you can give me a hint? Thank you!

Hello!

Looks like command_alert and command_triggered are executing at the same time, is that right?

I'm testing with a similar configuration but I can't reproduce this issue, can you run Homebridge in debug mode and show me the log? Execute homebridge -D.

It should like this once it's enabled:

Sorry for the delay.

Hello @MiguelRipoll23 , sorry also for my late reply. Unfortunately I did not get the chance to test it again earlier.

So I have found the error now. I'm not sure if it is my fault that I have misunderstood something or that it is mixed up in the plugin.

I changed the paths to the scripts between "command_alert": and "command_triggered".

If I now trigger the alarm system I first get a push then it waits 60 seconds and then the alarm is triggered.

I understood it as follows: "command_alert" is the command that triggers the real alarm and "command_triggered" is the pre-alarm. But it seems to be exactly twisted. Here again an excerpt from my current config to better understand it.

Thank you!

Actually command_alert is the warning and command_triggered is the event that should make the sirens sound ;)

Ok so I got it wrong and the mistake was mine 😅 I couldn't read it directly from the plugin description so maybe you can make a more concrete hint.

Thanks and have a nice sunday!

I'll do my best to improve the documentation and name the options better, I think server_warning and webhook_warning would have been a better name for the option maybe (as life gets busier I try keep the plugin maintained but my time to do things right reduces so the options' names can be confusing).
