Possible to have Multiple Devices?

[marbaugh]

I have been using your code now for the last few weeks and everything has been great without any issues. I am now working to integrate SmartThings with HomeAssistant following https://home-assistant.io/blog/2016/02/09/Smarter-Smart-Things-with-MQTT-and-Home-Assistant/

Following your directions I created a "Device" called "Alarm-Contact" in the Smarthings IDE for the Concord 4 Virtual Contact "Device Handler."

My alarm has 8 zones which all show up in the Alarm in the SmartThings App on my phone but when sending the status to the MQTT-Bridge, from the link above, no matter what zone opens the message is "smartthings/Alarm-Contact/contact = open"...so it's working but I would like to have a differnt "Device" per zone if that is possible...

Thanks for any insight or suggestions.

You do create a device per zone. The device handler you created 'alarm-contact' is just a template. From the IDE, you add a device per zone by clicking My Devices->New Devices. Add a name and set the type to "Alarm Contact (or whatever you named it).

Then you use the smarthphone app to go to the smartapp settings of the "Concord 4 integration". You associate your device with a zone from there.

Gotcha, I understand now. I created 8 different devices now and associated the zones to the devices in the app.

In your SmartApp all of the zones are "contactSensors." My zone 2 is a motion sensor so would this be correct?

input "zone2", "capability.motionSensor", title:"Zone 2" ?

[csdozier]

Looks right

I update the Concord 4 Device Handerl to have: standardTile("Zone 2", "device.zone2", width: 2, height: 2,inactiveLabel: false, decoration: "flat") { state "inactive", label: 'Foyer Motion Sensor\n', icon: "st.motion.motion.inactive", backgroundColor: "#ffffff" state "active", label: 'Foyer Motion Sensor\n', icon: "st.motion.motion.active", backgroundColor: "#00a0dc" } I also updated the Concord 4 Smart App to have: input "zone2", "capability.motionSensor", title:"Zone 2"

When I open the 'Alarm Device' in the phone app and go to Alarm --> SmartApps-->Concord 4 Integration, I see all the zones to choose from but Zone 2 now says "You Can't Currently Add This"

Here is a link of screenshots: https://photos.app.goo.gl/Hh2DBEyyx3d8RRXn2

Any thoughts or do you have any examples where a motion sensor is set up?

[csdozier]

It might be related to the device not changing state, try the new device handler and refresh all zones to closed... https://github.com/csdozier/device-concord4/blob/master/st-devicehandler/device-concord4.groovy

[marbaugh]

I tried new handler to refresh all zones to closed and in the 'Alarm Device' on the phone app everything is working but the 'Zone 3' or 'Zone4' devices I created still say open.

I also played around with the "You Can't Currently Add This" under 'Alarm Device' in the phone app and go to Alarm --> SmartApps -->Concord 4 Integration, and I noticed as soon as I change the code for the Concord 4 Integration Smart App in the IDE to input "zone2", "capability.motionSensor", title:"Zone 2" from "zone2", "capability.contactSensor" and save and "Publish for me" I see the "You Can't Currently Add This"

[marbaugh]

I'm going to redo the device handlers and re-set up my devices this evening I'll let you know if I have any more luck

[csdozier]

I made another update to the device handler. The motion sensor does not take the action 'closed', it uses 'inactive', so I made it send 'inactive' to all zones. Please update and try again.

[marbaugh]

I got everything up and running tonight with your updates. The refresh all zones works great.

I left your template alone and had zones 1-15 setup as contact sensors (though my zone two is a motion sensor). I created devices for all 15 zones (though I only have 1-8) and 1-8 work great, of course when I trip the motion sensor it says open.

1. I then updated to the Concord 4 Device Handler to have: standardTile("Zone 2", "device.zone2", width: 2, height: 2,inactiveLabel: false, decoration: "flat") { state "inactive", label: 'Foyer Motion Sensor\n', icon: "st.motion.motion.inactive", backgroundColor: "#ffffff" state "active", label: 'Foyer Motion Sensor\n', icon: "st.motion.motion.active", backgroundColor: "#00a0dc" }

2. I also updated the Concord 4 Smart App to have: input "zone2", "capability.motionSensor", title:"Zone 2"

3. I also created a new device that uses the motionSensor device handler.

After publishing and using the mobile app, when I open the 'Alarm Device' and go to Alarm --> SmartApps-->Concord 4 Integration, I see all the zones to choose from but Zone 2 still says "You Can't Currently Add This".

I noticed again, as soon as I change the Concord 4 Smart App to say input "zone2", "capability.motionSensor", title:"Zone 2" and publish and breaks zone2. Have you been able to successfully use motionSensor instead of contactSensor in the Smart App? Is there any thing else I can do to help troubleshoot this?

[marbaugh]

Any thoughts?

[csdozier]

I’ve not had a chance to review further yet.

Ok no problem I just had some free time tonight and figured I would reach out. Let me know if I can do anything to assist.

I've updated the virtual motion device handler. It allows me to add a motion sensor, give it a try

https://github.com/csdozier/device-concord4/blob/master/st-devicehandler/device-concord4-virtualmotion.groovy

[marbaugh]

Getting much closer! Thanks for the update.

1. The zone2 device I created in the smartings IDE shows up in the smart phone app under "my home" --> "Things" as “Active” when there is no motion and “Inactive” when there is motion.

2. The Alarm device I created in the smarthigns IDE shows up in the smart phone app with all of the zones and allows me to select the motion sensor device created for zone 2 under the "SmartApps" ---> Concord 4 Integration. Once it's mapped the zone never changes state like all the other zones do in the Alarm device under the ‘right now tab’. But I do see under the ‘recently tab’ the following Alarm zone2 is closed or Alarm zone2 is open. Not sure if these should say active and inactive.

Also the output from the python concordsvr running is 2017-09-22 21:11:19,318 [concordsvr.py:panelMessageHandler()] - INFO - Zone 2 - 'FOYER MOTION' | State: open 2017-09-22 21:11:21,770 [concordsvr.py:panelMessageHandler()] - INFO - Zone 2 - 'FOYER MOTION' | State: closed

Not sure if these should also be ‘active’ and ‘inactive’

Let me know if screenshots would help.

[marbaugh]

Update:

If I changed the concord 4 device handler zone 2 (for my setup) to use open and closed instead of active and inactive and it updates in the smart phone app now.

    standardTile("Zone 2", "device.zone2",  width: 2, height: 2,inactiveLabel: false, decoration: "flat") {         
        state "closed", label: 'Foyer Motion Sensor\n', icon: "st.motion.motion.inactive", backgroundColor: "#ffffff" 
        state "open", label: 'Foyer Motion Sensor\n', icon: "st.motion.motion.active", backgroundColor: "#00a0dc"
    }  

Also I believe the virtual motion detector device handler code, the active and inactive need to be swapped to fix my issues described in the previous post where the device shows the active icon when it's really inactive.

tiles {
    standardTile("motion", "device.motion", inactiveLabel: false) {
        state "inactive", label: '${name}', icon: "st.motion.motion.inactive", backgroundColor: "#ffffff"
        state "active", label: '${name}', icon: "st.motion.motion.active", backgroundColor: "#00a0dc"
    }  

I am assuming if the python server is updated to used active and inactive for motion sensors then the "active" and "inactive" could be used in the device handler? Otherwise I think it's all working now!

[csdozier]

Glad to know its working. So Im now assuming open is active and updated the device handler to reflect that.

[marbaugh]

Ok I'll test you update today!

[marbaugh]

Everything is working great, I can not thank you enough for your help. What's the best way to "buy you a beer"!?

I am running the concordsvr and would like to be able to use the REST API from my internal network to arm/disarm the alarm. When running something like 'http://192.168.1.31:8066/concord/arm/stay' from my browser I get: TX -> 401 Unauthorized (auth key:)

Any easy way around this?

[csdozier]

As a small form of security to the API, its looking for a api password in a base64 encoded basic Authorization:Basic HTTP header. If you want to maintain that security, include the rest_api_password in your config file as a base64 encoded string. If you don't want to bother with that, you edit concordsvr.py at line 896 and set authorized to True.

[marbaugh]

Could you provide an example of how to include the base64 encoded string in the REST API call 'http://192.168.1.31:8066/concord/arm/stay'

[csdozier]

Here is how it is done in the device handler:

def userpassascii = "admin:${concord_server_api_password}" def userpass = "Basic " + userpassascii.encodeAsBase64().toString() def hosthex = convertIPtoHex(concord_server_ip_address) def porthex = convertPortToHex(concord_server_port) log.debug("${device.deviceNetworkId}") def hubAction = new physicalgraph.device.HubAction( 'method': 'POST', 'path': "/concord${request}"+"&apiserverurl="+java.net.URLEncoder.encode(apiServerUrl("/api/smartapps/installations"), "UTF-8"), 'body': '', 'headers': [ HOST: "${hosthex}:${porthex}" , Authorization:userpass] )

Basically, admin:password is encoded in base64 then sent in the authorization HTTP header as Basic . The command is sent as POST to /concord/arm/stay

Any idea how I can get the system to do a silent disarm? I am trying to have it auto arm when getting in bed so the silent arm works but I then want it to disarm at a certain time in the morning without beeping. I can do it on the keypad but not sure about how to get smartthings/pyconcord to do it.
