Disarm active alarm with a keyfob

[onesim 5]

It's a long time i'm trying to obtain this behaviour but i've not found any working solution.

 

What i want is to disarm the alarm and turnoff the siren by a button press on the keyfob.

Everything is working fine if the alarm system is just armed (but not triggered).

But, if the alarm is triggered because one of the sensors is breached, the same disarm scene seems to not work at all. I've checked the "do not allow alarm to stop scene" flag but it has no effects.

 

Am i missing something?

 

Many thanks

how have you programmed the keyfob buttons?

i have a similar setup.

i have RFID keypads with a disarm scene and i also have another scene setup with a keyfob.

both of these scenes have the 'do not allow alarm to stop scene' checked and they work fine.

I have a couple of scenes, one scene is triggered by the keyfob that launch other scenes based on button code, the code is below (100 is the keyfob)

 

--[[

%% properties

100 sceneActivation

%% globals

--]]

 

local ButtonPressed = fibaro:getValue(100, "sceneActivation");

if ( tonumber(ButtonPressed) == 1 ) then

    fibaro:debug("Keyfob button 1 pressed");

    fibaro:startScene(9); --arm all

elseif ( tonumber(ButtonPressed) == 2 ) then

    fibaro:debug("Keyfob button 2 pressed");

    fibaro:startScene(10); --disarm all

else

    fibaro:debug("No response");

end

 

 

Then there is the disarm all scene that should do the job of disarm all sensors and turn off the siren:

 

--[[

%% properties

%% events

%% globals

--]]

 

fibaro:call(5, "setArmed", "0", "1234");

fibaro:call(9, "setArmed", "0", "1234");

...

fibaro:call(29, "turnOff"); --turn off sound

 

Both scenes have the "do not allow alarm to stop...." checked, and are working as expected as long as the alarm is not triggered by breached sensor..

If the alarm is triggered, i cannot turn it off by keyfob, but just from PC or smartphone after manually disarm it (it ask me for the pincode, maybe that's the issue?)

Do you see anything wrong?

 

Any help is really appreciated! (HC2 fw version 4.70)

Thanks

try adding code to your button presses instead of the startScene command, thats the way i have done it and it works for me ( to be honest i actually forgot about the startScene command)

I tried it and it worked as a charme! Thank you very much!

 

I also tried another approach using global variable set by the keyfob and used as trigger for the other scenes, that worked as well and allow me to keep things separated.

 

Thanks again!

I seem to have the same problem - can not disarm it via the scene... Is '1234' used for PIN to disarm the alarm??

 

I have got a Disarm ALL scene with a simple code (below) which doesn't deactivate running alarm. It's only possible via mobile/PC after entering the PIN number.

i have the code individually listed under each button press and even when the alarm has been triggered i can still disarm using my keyfob and keypad.

i havent entered the 'PIN' as some people have listed above.

Sorry I have hijacked your thread as I do not have a keyfob/keypad - just trying to turn off active alarm with a scene, which doesn't seem to work for some reason.

i noticed that when i initially started using the HC2 as an alarm. once i triggered a scene with keyfob/keypad it all worked!

even when an alarm has been triggered.

Just another note i have created a normal scene for disarming the alarm and the trigger is my android wear watch. that worked for me aswell.

i used Tasker, AutoWear and Imperihome

Hmm this is odd. I have just triggered an alarm and tried to run a disarming scene but I am getting a forbidden error...

 

Do you have to enter a PIN to disarm your alarm?

i think from the browser or the app you actually have to go into the alarm panel itself to disarm alarm and enter a PIN.

BUT from another device it works.. 

to be honest cant remember a lot as i set mine up back in August..

cool, thanks. I'll keep looking but it's beginning to annoy me so may have to drop a line to tech support.

Hi, i rearranged the scenes architecture. Now the keyfob scene just set a global variable "alarmStatus" that can have different values, like: fullyEnabled, windowsOnly, fullyDisabled. This variable is used as trigger for a second scene that effectively activate/deactivate the alarm (based on the variable value).
