Rule Machine and HSM triggers

[emilakered]

I think there is something I don't understand about how HSM triggers RM rules. I'm trying to get a Pushover message each time HSM changes to Armed Away. This is the current setup.

However, I get a notification on both armed and disarmed. The log looks like this.

What am I missing here?

I had PM’ed @bravenel about this back in May. His answer at that time was:

As it stands right now there is no state maintained in the hub for HSM status. So a triggered rule with HSM status as a condition will not work, A rule or a trigger work, as both are driven off HSM status events.

We intend to change this in an upcoming release, so that HSM status is stored as state that can be inspected

Hopefully he can confirm whether this is still a feature that has not been released.

Thanks, interesting! But as I use it here it actually IS a trigger from a status event, right?

Sounds as though you’ll get a notification for each event , arm and disarm, because the state is unknown by RM

[bravenel]

The state is known by RM!

This feature was released recently. Even before that, RM tracked the HSM state internally, but it wouldn't know what it was until the first HSM event. Now, there is a global variable in the system that reflects the HSM status. It can be accessed in code with location.hsmStatus.

From what I read in the log, they correct status event is used (disarmed, armedAway). I guess I need to catch it some other way in RM?

[bravenel]

There is a bug. Thanks for pointing it out. Found and corrected, Will be fixed in next release. An oversight on my part, triggers on every hsmStatus change.

[emilakered]

Brilliant, thank you! I'm not crazy then..

EDIT: Side note, I simply solved it like this for now.

This bug has been fixed in the latest release.
