Alarm notification when arming/disarming

[Guest Erik-DK]

As a new member, hi to you all

 

I am in the process of changing my old conventional alarm system to HC2. 

 

It consist of door/windows sensors, motion sensors, siren and Zipato mini Keypad. Things works fine, arming/disarming works with the RFID.

 

The only thing that i am unable to do is some bib, bib ... when arming and something similar when disarming just to be sure that i have read the RFID and

components is safe and ready to be armed. Now somebody vill say that look at your mobile, and yes easy but not wife approved

 

So any ideas how to to this with something (maybe the keypad) or any other simpel device.

 

I need 3 states

 

Arming, (you have 30 sec to leave the area)

Arming failed (door or window open)

Disarmed (safe to enter area)

 

Thanks.

Hi Erik. I think there are plenty of options but you all need to make them yourself with electronic components.
The best I ever read was on this forum. See:

 

 

Because my alarm panel is at the backdoor in the garage (where all electrical components are). I created a more simple solution. I bought a Din-Rail buzzer and connected a fibaro switch to it. See for more information:

Thanks i will look into how you made this.

The Zipato keypad has functionality to allow the HC2 to "beep" the keypad, for a short (configurable) time after the keypad wakes up (when the user selects home/away and presents and RFID token). However, the way that Fibaro currently have integrated the keypad to the HC2 means this does not work. I hope they one day correct this - as they give us access the the parameters to configure the feature but no access to the feature itself! 

 

For now, I think you would need to write the scene (assuming you use LUA), in such a way that you trigger your siren with a sequence of noises to indicate if the alarm is arming, failed to arm or disarming. I dont know how quickly you can turn on/off your siren to allow this?
