Question - Arm/Disarm #37

Closed cjoha closed 2 months ago

cjoha commented 2 months ago

QQ - for the latest release, (https://github.com/max-christian/homebridge-texecom/releases/tag/v3.2). Does this allow me to arm/disarm for away mode, as well as overnight mode? There are a couple of arm setups on the alarm, and I would like to be able to control which armed state is used.

Yes, it's supposed to work. I don't have a part arm configured on my own alarm so it's currently untested.

Thanks! I'm just trying to work out how to integrate this into Home Assistant, via homebridge. I'll report back once I have this setup. The HA integration I have been using (https://github.com/dchesterton/texecom2mqtt-hassio) is not reliable.

@max-christian Homebridge and your plugin is installed (running alongside Home Assistant). Two quick questions:

  1. Which is better for zone state reporting, as well as Arm/Dis-Arm? Should I be interfacing to a COM-IP (currently installed using Ethernet) or SmartCom?

  2. Assuming ComIP is 'best', should it be configured to use the Creston protocol? (I need arm/disarm control). I'm trying to get WinTex organised, so I can take a look at the setup of the panel and interfaces.

  1. Either should work the same but it takes up the connection 24/7 so if you have both then would make sense to use the COM-IP.
  2. Yes, there should be instructions in the readme about that.
