SECURITY SYSTEM CONDITIONS
The following security system conditions can be used as IF - SECURITY conditions anywhere in your schedule.
Transition Activated
At the start of every schedule pass, STARGATE will process the information the GE/CADDX security panel has sent.
Any changes to partitions or zones will cause an internal "transition" state to be set for that pass through the schedule,
the "transition" state will be cleared at the end of the schedule pass.
When the "Transition Activated" checkbox is selected, the IF condition will be TRUE when the condition goes active.
When not selected, the IF condition will be TRUE when the condition is active. This is best explained in an example:
EVENT: Partition Armed
If
SEC: Partition ARMED[Partion 1] TRANSITION
Then
LCD: Red LED ON [KP:ALL]
End
In the above example the LCD Keypads Red LED will be turned ON at the time the security panel becomes armed.
EVENT: Security Lights
If
SEC: Partition ARMED[Partion 1]
and Sunset SMTWTFS
Then
X10: F-1 Front Porch Lt ON
End
In this example the Front Porch light will turn ON if the security panel IS armed (as opposed to becomes armed) and
the time is Sunset. Note: if "Transition Activated" was used, the Security Lights event would trigger only if the security
panel became armed exactly at Sunset.
User Number
Events can be created based on the last user to arm or disarm the Caddx panel.
NOTE: If the same User Number is repeated, Stargate will not see the repeated User Number become true and
therefore not respond until a different User Number is received. To accommodate repeated User Numbers, add the
"Partition ARMED" or "Partition Not ARMED" condition. Example:
EVENT: Hall Light On for User 1
If
SEC: Partition Not ARMED[Partion 1]
and SEC: User Number is 1 [Partition 1]
Then
X10: F-2 Hall Lt ON
End
