Just got this up and running

[Tesla-P100FX]

Describe Your Problem:

Moved from HomeSeer with HomeSeer-Omni Bridge. First of all its awesome. I have a lot of zones in my house and run into an error that said i had more than a 155 zones. So i am not including zones. However i want to include my door switches so i know when a door is opened. Can you tell me how to do that? Also there is no ARM-Disarm showing in Homebridge.

Hi @Tesla-P100FX, Just to clarify are the door switches a type of sensor which is included in the zones? If so you can exclude the zones you don’t want using the sensors config option.

To have the ability to arm/disarm the security system you’ll need to set includeAreas to true

One last thing Homebridge has a limit of around 150 accessories for all plugins. Given the large number of accessories you have I would set up the Omnilink plugin in its own Child Bridge (a new feature in Homebridge 1.3.0) which has its own limit of 150 accessories. It also runs in its own process which may make it more responsive

OK i turned on includeAreas to true and i can turn it on and off now. Thank you! i have Zones found: = 78. So i don't want to show every zone in the home app, just really the doors. in the log on Homebridge i see when a door is open. I am looking to see in my Homekit app on my phone that a door was opened. The sensors are just the wired alarm switch's. So do i need to include zones and then configure exceptions for all ones except the door?

[mantorok1]

I think the best option would be to set includeZones to true and then exclude the zones you don't want to see in HomeKit. To do this use the sensors config option. For example, to excludes zone 4 & 6 you could use the following config:

    "sensors": [
      {
        "zoneId": 4,
        "sensorType": "none"
      },
      {
        "zoneId": 6,
        "sensorType": "none"
      }        
    ],

You can also use the above config to set your door switches to be a different type of sensor such as a "contact" instead of the default "motion" which may make more sense.

[Tesla-P100FX]

can I keep includeZones to no and then jsu set the sensors i want to monitor as exceptions? I have 80+ Sensors i don't want to have 80+ Contact switch's and i don't really want a line item for each if i can avoid it. Or can i i put them all in one line like this?

"zoneid": 4,5,6,7,8,9,10 "sensorType": "none"

or can i just add the ones i want with Include Zones set to No

"sensors": [ { "zoneId": 4, "sensorType": "contact" }, { "zoneId": 6, "sensorType": "contact" }
],

[mantorok1]

Unfortunately you'll need to specify each zone individually and have includeZones set to true to do what you want. The only consolation is that this should just be once off config and then you never need to worry about it again. If you use copy & paste in a text editor it shouldn't take too long to get the config the way you want it.

I like the idea of assigning multiple zones IDs to a sensor type. I may incorporate that into a future version of the plugin.

Got it working! Its really nice THANK YOU! I had to add 80 lines to the file , so i can just see our doors open and close and i get a notification on my phone. I love it. i also have a wired gate and i set it to turn on a light if the gate is opened at night. In addition i was able to decommission my HomeSeer server

Hi @Tesla-P100FX ,

I've just released a new version of the plugin (1.4.0) which should make it easier to configure the plugin.
