Security Virtual Device that can be armed and breached

[baran 1]

Hi

is there a way to create a virtual device that can be armed and can breach fiering standard fibaro alarm.

or easly, is there a way to fire fibaro alarm from lua without rewrite all the alarm panel as a lua script?

tnx

As far as I know, no...

Why you need to fire fibaro alarm?

[baran 1]

I m building an interface for a garage door 5 based on WiFi i/o module. 

I would like to "arm" it and fire fibaro alarm if breached.

OK...

The question why to fire fibaro alarm, what it does for you? Do you use all alarm options ?

You can run scene to do what ever you need...

because I already use alarm panel for all the security device. I have already configured all the action to take, what siren to play, ligh blinking, push message and so on...

Hi @baran,

 

i don't see any plausible reason to fire alarm, sounds like nonsense to me...Maybe you can elaborate a bit

You could simply add for example a door/window sensor to your garage door, that will trigger alarm automaticaly when breached.

1. garage door... seems clear... a door that close the garage
2. motorized garage door... that move it up and down
3. wifi interface of the motor with rest api to get the position 
4. no easy way to fix and engage a fibaro door sensor.

 

idea:

create a virtual device that:

1. let me comand the motor of the garage door
2. read the status of the garage door
3. arm it 
4. trigger fibaro alarm if it is armed and it is open or forced (yes.. the motor read it)

 

for point 1,2,3... i have no issue.

but for point 4.... dunno

OK... understood.

Since there is no way to fire alarm (it's done internally in HC2), may I suggest an workaround.

You can use fibaro smart implant or door sensor with external input (for example vision security door sensor) and using relay (dry contact) you can toggle these devices which will fire alarm.

Something like that
