[Help Needed] Lua code to get the device which triggered alarm

[Lambik 192]

Hi,

 

Does anyone has a smart idea/code to get the device ID/Name of the device which triggered the alarm?

 

Preferable a solution with flexible device detection, meaning, without the need to store the ID's in static tables in code.

 

Thank you in advance!

hi

try this:

 

local trigger = fibaro:getSourceTrigger()
local device = fibaro:getName(trigger['deviceID'])

 

no need for tables etc, i use this for my alarm trigger detection

Did you try push button "Configuration" in Alarm Panel, advanced options ?

Hi,

 

I have this code for each device (probably I could have only one, but I don't know to do it... if some one want upgrade it...) 

It send me a push message, and there I identificate the device. After the alarm is triggered, turns on the siren and turns off 1 minute later.

It works for me 

 

22 is ID of my PIR

11 is my ID of my phone

233 is ID of a sirene

 

--[[
%% properties
22 value
22 armed
%% weather
%% events
%% globals
--]]

 

-- Scene                : Send Push Message
-- Version              : 1.0
-- Date Created    : 15 Dezember 2017
-- Last Changed  : 15 Dezember 2017
-- HC Version       : Home Center 2 v4.152 Beta
-- Created By        : Alex Vidigal
-- Purpose            : Identify alarm trigger

 

local startSource = fibaro:getSourceTrigger();
if (
 ( (tonumber(fibaro:getValue(22, "value")) > 0 and tonumber(fibaro:getValue(22, "armed")) > 0) )
or
startSource["type"] == "other"
)

 

then
    fibaro:call(11, "sendPush", "Alarm from My Room");

fibaro:call(233, "turnOn");
    fibaro:sleep(60*1000);
    fibaro:call(233, "turnOff"); 

 

end

 

I Hope it helps

As far as I known this is not possible in a direct way. I use a scene, added to actions, which activates a virtual device button.

With this button I send a command to a Raspberry Pi (Node-Red) which send an alarm message with camera snapshots to my Telegram-bot. The only thing needed is the name of the sensor which triggered the alarm to complete the Telegram message.

Is fibaro:getSourceTrigger() getting me the right ID of the alarm which triggered the alarm? What about ['deviceID']? Is a table with ID's returned by the getSourceTrigger()?

Please explain?

Thank you Alex, but with your solution you need to get all sensors ID's into the code. When a sensor is added, changed or removed, you have change the code.

Is was searching for a solution where I get the ID of the device responsible for triggering the alarm.

Yes it's true, but you are not adding security devices all the time... You only have work the first time.

The code is always the same, only changes the device ID and name. If you add more devices, copy the scene and change the ID and name again.
But I believe that what you want can be done. 

I don't know if I can help you because I don't know enough LUA code ... I'll try

Thank you @AlexVidigal, it's appreciated!

 

We just see what solutions @morpheus75 and @Jacek Stark have to offer...

Hi Lambik,

 

The code from your [VD] Presence Detector don't give you what you need?

@Lambik

 

local trigger = fibaro:getSourceTrigger()
this gets the ID of the device that triggered the scene. so just a standard command

 

local device = fibaro:getName(trigger['deviceID'])

this part checks its own api to get the name of the device from the ID. it will return the name of the device based on what you have named it

 

hope this helps

Clear explanation, thank you @morpheus75

 

But....

When the 'Fibaro Alarm' is triggered by a breach from a armed device, the 'Alarm Panel --> Advanced --> Add Action --> <Scene to trigger>' will trigger the scene.

 

Doesn't this mean the alarm panel is the source of the trigger, not the device which breached the alarm?

To be honest I don't know as I don't use the alarm panel and I have written my own scenes.

These 2 lines I use to send me a push notification to my phone and an email and a telegram bot message.

Good point, well observed @AlexVidigal!!

I considered that also, but I wanted to see if there's a more simple way to implement.

Thank you @morpheus75. I need to do some tests. If it's not working I have to go with @AlexVidigal suggestion.

 

FYI.

 

Did some tests. The scene, triggered by the alarm panel, reports the source of the trigger as type 'other'. No device ID.

 

Have to do some serious coding, I'm afraid of. Keep you informed.
