HSM Arm Changes Logic Help

antamiga · September 22, 2026, 2:44am

I'm writing a SecurityKeypad driver. I have HSM configured to allow arming and disarming from the keypad. When I use the HSM GUI and tell it to Arm Away, I receive an arm command correctly.

Then 6 seconds later, it sends another command to arm away. Does my driver need to send a SecurityKeypad event of "armed away" after 6 seconds?

I figured it out after some tries - Yes, the driver needs to send a securityKeypad event:

sendEvent(name: "securityKeypad", value: "armed away")

I can't figure out the proper way to signal to HSM that a keypad is requesting to disarm. Any one have the details for this?

Is there any good documentation on the HSM interface and sequence diagrams for arming/disarming from the Hubitat docs?

Like normal, Hubitat logs start at the bottom, which is where I tapped the PARTIAL button on my keypad. Then I tapped the disarm code and OK.

The logs today are very very verbose. But at least you can see what mine do.

I finally figured it out!

The correct way to signal HSM to disarm is:

sendEvent(name: "armingIn", value:0, data: [armCmd: "disarm"])

HSM will be signaled and then will do a call to disarm(0), where the driver needs to set: state.securityKeypad = "disarmed"

Some drivers will add armMode: "disarming" to the data map. I don't know why though.

Thanks to @csteele for pointing me in the right direction.
