Using QuickApp to trigger alarm

[josjg 5]

Being completely new to Fibaro (just bought a HC3)  but not to domotica and programming I am not able to find the info I need to do the following:

Receive a http request from my Synology Surveillance Station telling HC3 that camera movement has occurred and then set a zone to breached and trigger an alarm.

 

I was thinking of creating a QuickApp device of type binary sensor and turn that on with an http GET request from the surveillance station. This part works fine: when I send the request I can catch it in Quickapp:turnOn() Can see that by checking a debug message.

But now.... How do I get this device to set the zone to breached? I've tried to test it in a scene, using state "Detected" but that doesn't react to the turnOn.  The updateProperty("state", true) or updateProperty("state", "Detected") methods also didn't work.

 

Big problem here is imo the lack of documentation (at least I can't find it) E.g. where can I find a list of properties and built-in methods of the QuickApp class? The page at

 certainly does not contain all these properties and methods, doesn't it?

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

You mean something like this?

Thanks! Almost. Instead of arming I would like to the zone to active or set the zone to breached, whatever is more appropriate. 

So, instead of the "arm" in

fibaro.call(XXXXXX,"arm")

 

I would need something like fibaro.call(XXXX, "activated"). But  I don't know (and cannot find) what I should use as the second argument instead of "activate".

One step further down the road:

 

I created a QuickApp of type door sensor and, like mentioned in the header of the QuickApp's editor I used

This effectively sets the breached status on the device when I make the http request from my Synology. When I check the device (

X) I can also see the lastBreached time. But... strangely enough that doesn't breach the zone it is in. The device is added to the zone, like I also did with "real" sensors, but this one doesn't trigger the zone breached. 

 

Is there a way to set the zone to "breached" directly from the QuickApp's code?

Eureka! What a little bit of experimenting can do. Found out that the device I created, of type door sensor, keeps its value at true, once set. Thus, apparently, it only triggers the zone once. During my experimenting I did not reset the value to false, hence its failure to breach the zone. Changed the code a bit and now it works!

Sorry to have bothered you. Hope this maybe helps others who like me, are struggling to find some info on properties and methods.
