I am migrating a SmartThings custom application that automatically set SHM to Armed (away), Armed (home), and Disarmed. I would like for this application to do the same in Hubitat.
Is there an API call to set the HSM state? If so could you please provide examples of each state?
Bump…
@bravenel @patrick any suggestions on an API call I can execute from an app to set Hubitat Safety Monitor to a certain state?
In SmartThings I was using:
sendLocationEvent(name: “alarmSystemStatus”, value: “Value-Name”)
Hubitat™ Safety Monitor (HSM) uses Hubitat Location Events to communicate with other apps.
It reports its state using an event named “hsmStatus”, and custom monitoring rule arming/disarming with “hsmRules”. It reports alert events with an event named “hsmAlert”. Apps can set the arm/disarm state of HSM with an event named “hsmSetArm”. These events and their values are summarized below.

@bravenel Thank you very much for this. One followup question, how can I get the latest value for hsmStatus? In ST I used location.currentState() but that is throwing an error in Hubitat:
No signature of method: com.hubitat.hub.domain.Location.currentState() is applicable for argument types: (java.lang.String) values: [hsmStatus]
My code is:
location.currentState("hsmStatus")?.value
Should I be using currentValue() instead?
Case problem? You’ve got Location not location in your error code.
Tried that and new error:
Cannot invoke method currentState() on null object
I’m having the exact same issue with location.currentState("hsmStatus").value
Simple answer is that we have not implemented currentState for HSM values yet. It’s on our to do list…
As a temporary work around I subscribe to the events and put them into a state variable.
You need a state change to make it work but it does work

Thanks, my app does this, but I am trying to prevent a looping situation and need the actual value. I will see if I can work around this.
Hi Bruce. Any updates on implementing currentState for HSM/Location?
I think it's implemented. It would be location.hsmStatus. I believe it was in the most recent release.
That worked. Thanks!
@bravenel
I added this command to a method but when trying to save changes I get the following:
Invalid variable name. Must start with a letter but was: “hsmSetArm” . At [579:29] @ line 579, column 29.
Please advise.
When trying to save the app?
Yup
If you copied/pasted there's something weird going on with the quotes. Try replacing manually.
This works just fine, and the comment about quotes is no doubt your problem.
definition(

def initialize() {
sendLocationEvent(name: "hsmSetArm", value: "blahblah")
}Indeed it was the problem. This is the 3rd time these quotations have got me. You'd think I would have learned by now. Thank you sir.
Yes, something detestable about Discourse, for sure!
