[BETA] Abode Alarm system driver

[Ryan780]

Actually, the problem is in your driver. You are using sendEvent incorrectly. The name parameter in the sendEvent corresponds to the attribute name, not the device name. A device can only send events for itself. If you have something with multiple devices to support, you should create a parent/child device.

It appears that's because the driver isn't publishing an event for an attribute titled alert_name, it's publishing an event for "Front Door" That should be a string of "alert_name" or "contact" not the name of the device that is opened or closed. If the device is intended to monitor multiple contact sensors, then it should have child devices for each sensor. That's the only way you're going to get it to work right. The name is in reference to the attribute, not the device that is opening …

In this example, you send the event as follows:
{"device_id":"[device ID]","label":"Abode System","name":"Front Door","value":"Closed","date":"2020-04-01T14:52:45+0000","unit":null,"isStateChange":null,"source":"DEVICE"}

That means that the name of the attribute is "Front Door"? That's not correct.

Also, in order for events to work, the attribute name must be declared in the metadata. You don't declare anything in the metadata for the events you are generating.

Also, your type is incorrect. Type can either be digital or physical. You are setting it equal to some other value. And "displayed" doesn't do anything in Hubitat, whether it's true or false. So, don't bother putting it in unless the driver is also intended for ST.
