Door Open Alarms for generic devices #52

Open PaulTMS opened 2 years ago

PaulTMS commented 2 years ago

Signal Maintenance reports multiple, repeated cabinets being broken into & vandalized. Sometimes its to plug in the extension cord and sometimes its to steal the copper cable. The cabinets all have the door sensor switch installed. We need to set up a system to alarm the operators when a cabinet door is open.

Proposed idea is to use contact closure devices controlled by NG_Contact as door monitoring devices. Create a new 2 letter device code to differentiate these. Pop-ups in NG_TMS and email notification via NG_Delivery are desired.

No pop-up is preferred, just emails. More definition needed on are we being reactive to theft or just want to make sure cabinet doors get closed.
