OK, no need to go to monitoring alarm LED. I think I want to try something first.
You have a very, very old interface module, called PC5401. According to the instructions, descriptive arming (i.e. telling you away or stay status) is disabled be default. See attachment. I want you to try to turn this on. The plugin does not have this command build in and your PC5401 is too old to except custom commands. But if you are a bit familiar with Python we can make a temporary change.
Right-click on DSC plugin and select Show package content. Navigate to plugin.py and open this file. Go to code line 379.
Replace
- Code: Select all
self.txCmdList.append((kCmdNormal, tx))
with
- Code: Select all
self.txCmdList.append((kCmdNormal,'0501'))
Use the select all command to copy the code exactly as shown.
Save the plugin.py file. Reload the plugin. Then Disarm your alarm. Instead of the disarm command the plugin will now send command 0501, which should enable descriptive arming.
Then revert the changes you made to plugin.py to the original code, save, reload plugin.
Then test arming in away mode and stay mode and let me know if the Indigo UI correctly shows these states.
And confirm that disarming works again as intended.
And keep in mind:
Configuration commands for the PC5401 module (e.g. 050) will be cleared if power is lost to the module and will require reloading by the application.
