I finally got it all set up and I’m testing it with my DSC alarm system. When the alarm goes off I am using some lights to flash in place of a siren. This is just for testing but I am flashing three lights. Now I would like to clear the flashing lights but the safety monitor will not allow me to remove all three lights. If I uncheck all the lights, save it, and then return all three lights are still checked. There does not seem to be any way to clear all of the lights. I can leave one light checked and it updates but if I then clear that one light it will never go away. I can’t seem to stop or clear all the flashing lights.
Am I missing something?
Also, once the alarm goes off is there anyway for habitat safety monitor to stop the alarm after so many minutes?
What are you using to integrate HE and the DSC? Envisalink? Or something else? On your last question you could easily write an RM rule that triggers on HSM alert status, waits X minutes, and then disarms.
I’m using HE DSC Envisalink. See, that’s why I posted my question here. I don’t always think of the obvious answers. I thought I checked out The status of habitat safety monitor but I didn’t remember a change in status when the alarm went off. I’ll have to check into that tonight. Thanks for the idea.
I’ve tried every way I can think of to clear a field in the habitat safety monitor and I believe it is a bug in the program. Once you set any flashing lights it is not possible to clear the fields so that there are no flashing lights. It forces you to have at least one light checked. I’m sure I can get around it by setting up some sort of virtual light or switch that doesn’t really do anything and then select that one in the program. But that’s not the right way to do it.
