I have had my EVL-3 running successfully now for a few months. Arming and disarming via scent, PLEG and VeraMate on iOS all working well. This week I installed 4 Z-Wave smokes and I want to have them trigger a panic alarm should they go off which will then call my central monitoring station and send me a text message. The issue I’m having is getting the panic to work. I found some references to the EnableRemotePanic option in the advanced section, changing it to true or panic does not seem to work. Anyone get this to work…?
ditto,
I’ve set EnableRemotePanic to ‘panic’ and tried using PLEG as follows
trigger: door_open
condition: door_open and alarm_armed
action:device:alarm control panel device Action: RequestPanicMode State:panic
the wierd thing I noticed is that to my knowledge I’m using partition 1
however in PLEG whe I select the Device Action it comes up with this list
urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:AlarmPartition2"
RequestArmMode
RequestQuickArmMode<
RequestPanicMode
urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:DSCAlarmPartition1
urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:HaDevice1
Note: I have successfully used the alarm to trigger PLEG/scenses so know that the comms via envisalink are working well (I can even remote arm via HomeWave).

The 2 in the serviceID has nothing to do with the Partition #, this is Version 2 of the Service definitions.
It seems only “RequestPanicMode = Fire” trigger my DSC alarm (not Police or Medical). Anyway, I am just planning to scare my wife remotely if I could not call her when she is at home
