I have the Elk plugin installed. If I set a notification for area 1, it will just tell me area 1 was violated, but not which zone actually tripped the alarm. Is there an easy way to tell which zone actually tripped the alarm and put it in the notification or a separate notification?
For many security systems, what you’re asking for may not even be meaningful. An alarm may be triggered by zero, one or two zones, depending on how they are configured, on my panel.
Because of this complexity (and because not every panel even announces this information through its interface), it isn’t part of the Vera Partition service description. Individual panel plugins might expose it in their own way. Since you’ve already asked this same question on the specific forum for your alarm system, I’d say Nobody Knows, which is a good proxy for You Can’t Do It.
I’m thinking the only way to do this is to create a scene with a trigger that fires when the alarm is tripped, and then write some lua to go through a list of sensors and find the one that was last tripped.
