[Deprecated] Ring Alarm Keypad G2 - New Dev/Driver/Thread Links in 1st post!

@mavrrick58 ,
Sorry, I still can't support your code. By trying to control HSM the way you are, it is limiting the use of the keypad to just HSM. This keypad can be used in many other ways.

sendEvent(name:"armingIn", value: state.keypadConfig.armHomeDelay, data:[armMode: armingStates[0x0A].securityKeypadState, armCmd: armingStates[0x0A].hsmCmd], isStateChange:true) // Event HSM Subscribes too

'Event HSM Subscribes too', this is a very odd attribute to use as a trigger??

This is actually straight from Bruce on how to control HSM from another app:

"This is the line of Maker API that sets HSM status:
sendLocationEvent(name: "hsmSetArm", value: id.toString())"

Any way for one child app to run another child app?

HSM is an example of an app that uses location events to communicate with other apps, notably with Maker API and RM. One nice thing about this approach is that you can send a Map as data in an event. A recipient app subscribes to the location event. HSM itself both sends location events, and subscribes to them so that RM or Maker API can arm/disarm it, and/or trigger off HSM events. One minor disadvantage of the child-parent-child approach is that each such message has to load the parent app…

I'm going to work on this today and see what I can come up with.
