It’s a mistake in the plugin lua code, the version number hasn’t been updated.
You have to check the plugin version in “Apps>My Apps”

Cool plugin only took me half an hour to grasp and understand. Motivated me to purchase a zwave alarm now, anyone know of a alarm that will allow a chirp sounds to be played? on the first intrusion detected tigger? Before ramping it up to a high pitched squeal on confirmed panic mode. Cant wait to surprise house mate and gf with this when they get home one day hahah

Same here. I have no clue how to use this plugin since there is no documentation available.

Looks like there was a problem with his web hosting. But here’s Google’s cached version:

http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:qqxqxwsuhCIJ:blog.empuk.host-ed.me/index.php/8-domotique/3-veralite-plugin-simplealarm-en+&cd=2&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

Sorry, I have a problem with host-ed.net. They disconnected all my website without any information !

I made a copy of my blog on http://empuk-blog.berriau.com/ but I’m not sure that it will be the ultimate solution because this other web hosting (1and1) seems to be not very responsive and ther is a lot of disconnections. I’ll update the links as soon as possible.

I used this great plug-in some months ago and worked great, to make some test I had to uninstalled.
Now I trying to install it again and It was installed and working but the icon at vera dashboard do not show the only thing that show is a default icon or question mark icon. ???
I tried to install using dashboard, mios.app, and manual nothing changed this behavior of do not show icon.
Thanks for help

Hey! I just got the xendapp notifications to work! :slight_smile: I can’t believe how fast it is.

Is there any way to customize the messages? Or at least change them to English instead of Francais? Thanks!

I love this plugin and utilize it every day :slight_smile:

There is a small bug that shows up when the alarm is disarmed state, and is send the “disarm command”. Basically, it will change the alarm state variable, which should have stayed at “disarmed” (not changed).

Code in LUUP or PLEG that fires when the variable changes will have code execute when no change has occurred.

Just a suggested fix for the next release.

For the moment, the messages are not customizable but if you know how to modify luup code, you can modify it in the file L_SimpleAlarm1.lua (check for xendapp_notify)
I’ll try to fix it soon…

A new version will come soon to fix this (1.9)
I think you can already install it from MiOS Apps

I’ve installed the latest version and still have this issue. A scene fires whenever there is a CHANGE from arming to disarming. However, with Simple Alarm, if the alarm is already disarmed, it will fire the code even though nothing has changed.

Could it be possible to not change “Status Changed” event type with the “Device Disarmed” status from changing (even though it does so ever so quickly goes back to disarmed, it shouldn’t change at all).

Thanks!

Can you try with the attached file ? I don’t have time to make a lot of test so I prefer not to realase it for the moment.

Uploaded the file and restarted. Same result for now.

Clicking disarm (with scene change to fire on change) quickly flips to “Not Disarmed (aka Armed)” (and scene code that fires when it armed, specifically some TTS and audio alerts stating alarm is armed), then immediately goes back to “Disarmed” (and code that fires when it is disarmed fires, specifically some TTS and audio alerts stating alarm is diarmed).

Every time I click disarm (even when already disarmed), it fires the “Not Disarmed” and then “Disarmed” scene events (almost instantly, but always “Not Disarmed” first).

Strange… I don’t understand why because I don’t have this behaviour with the new file. When SimpleAlarm is “Disarmed” and I Click on “Disarm”, nothing happen -it was not the case with the version 1.9, I received a xendapp notification).

When I click the disarmed, and the trigger is setup per that graphic, it fires the "not disarmed (aka armed) code…then immediately fires the code triggered by “disarmed” per graphic above.

Are you having the alert fire from the status disarmed?

Can you try with the version 1.10 (MiOS Apps) ?

I’m a dumba##.

Didn’t update on the bridged Vera. Trying update now…

It’s working perfectly on both Vera’s. Thank you for your help and for resolving the issue so quickly.

I’ve created 4 Simple Alarm (V 1.7) devices for different purposes.

Now I wish to delete one of the devices. If I do so, clicking the trash icon on that device, the plugin gets uninstalled!

First I get the question “Are you sure you want to delete this device?”, I answer yes.
After clicking Yes I get the question “Remove this plugin and any devices this plugin created?”. I can choose OK or Cancel. OK will uninstall the plugin. Cancel will cancel the deletion of the device.

How can I delete a device without the plugin getting uninstalled?
