Hello,
This is probably more of a DSC question more than a Indigo Plugin question but i thought i would ask incase someone knows the answer:
Is there a way to specify an on time for the PIR's on a DSC 1832 control panel? I ask as my Indigo log looks like this constantly

So the "on" time time is about 1 second. This works out to be a lot of traffic in the log but more importantly I think this level of traffic is causing my other plugins to fail with errors like:

Again i could be wrong, it might not be this plugin causing my issues but it only seems to happen when the DSC plugin is enabled (after many days or weeks).
If there was a way to limit the on time of a PIR i could reduce the noise which could free up some threads? (Not a programmer, just trying like hell to make my system stable)
All my PIR's are wired not wireless so the "High Traffic" option is not applicable i don't think.
Any help would be appreciated.
