Zone Status

Plugins & Plugin Development DSC Alarm System
#1

I installed an EVL-4 and got the zones configured. I can see the armed / disarmed status for each sensor in my vera device control panel but I can’t see when doors or windows are tripped, aka when someone opens a door, vera doesn’t detect anything, no red bars over the top.

Any ideas on what I should check?

Thanks,

Looks like I got it fixed, needed to add the port number on the IP setup

port 4025

Yes, Step #15 under "Setting Up your Vera. Glad you got it working!

Quick question - when you arm your alarm panel (via keypad, key fob etc), do the sensor devices set up in Vera change their status to armed - and then unarmed once the alarm is disarmed?

No they do not. The Armed /disarmed you see is for Vera modes and not for your alarm system. You should only see the status change on the device itself.
