I’m nervous about posting this topic since there are only two others in this forum – makes me think I’m doing something wrong, but it doesn’t seep appropriate to tack on to an existing, 2-year-old, 39-page thread.
I’ve been troubleshooting a problem for days. I’ve got a Vera Lite v1.5.532 with the v2.45 plugin. I have configured my AD2USB to use address 23, which has been enabled in my Vista 20P. Everything works, except when the system is armed, the “Status:” line constantly bounces between “Armed” and “Ready” every few seconds. I have also noticed that when the system is disarmed, the “Chime Mode” toggles on and off (dark blue and light blue) at the same frequency.
I started poking at the LuaUPnP.log for VistaAlarmPanel messages and found that when the system is armed, I see messages like “ARMED STAYMay Exit Now 35”, with the number decreasing every second or so (obviously, this is the countdown). In the middle of these countdowns, I see another message “DISARMED Ready to Arm”.
The ARMED messages look like this:
50 01/26/13 16:14:46.535 luup_log:46: (VistaAlarmPanel::processIncoming) Incoming data = '[0011000110000000----],010,[f70600871010008028020000000000],"ARMED ***STAY***May Exit Now 10"'. <0x2de51680>

And the DISARMED messages look like this:

Attached is an excerpt from the log that shows the panel READY, then ARMED STAY until a few seconds after the countdown expires, then DISARMED again. Arming and disarming for this log was done with the Vera.
