how to query domoticz's security panel

[MikaelK]

Hello,

Is there a way to retrieve domoticz's security panel's status ? It would be nice for example to activate motion sensors only when it's "armed away".

edit for clarification : I'd like to retrieve domoticz"s security status from the sensor node by polling the gateway every now and then.

Regards,
Mikael

Maybe this can do the job?

Thanks, and sorry, my question was not clear enough : I would like to retrieve this information from the sensor node, in order to only activate the motion detection and message transmission when domoticz's security is "armed away".

Regards
Mikael

I use lua:

if (devicechanged['Motiondetector'] == 'On' and otherdevices['Security Panel'] == 'Arm Away') then

is there a way to put the motion sensor in bypassed mode or does it have to be a combination of the security panel being armed. I have a vera controller and there is a button to arm and bypass when in bypassed i get no alerts, how can that be done in domticz.

@stress-nero i do it with Lua code.

@sundberg84 can you give me an example, and with lua will you be able to have a button that can toggle the armed and bypassed states.

@stress-nero - Yes - there is both a button and a security panel in Domoticz GUI you can use to set alarm mode. Also yes, I combine different states to be able to set the motion sensors in bypassed mode. There are two modes Arm home or Arm away. When I have arm home only my outer motion detectors are active (or they are active all the time, but only notify)

(Home is a variable set by the current status of the security device.

------------------------------------------------
-- If away - start alarm/watch
------------------------------------------------
if (Home == 'Away' and uservariables["var_alarm"] < 2) then 
	--Start motion detection
	os.execute("bash /home/pi/domoticz/scripts/lua/startmotion.sh")
	--Set status
	commandArray['Inbrottsalarm'] = 'Arm Away'
        commandArray['Variable:var_alarm']='2'
	commandArray['Group:Taklampor']='Off'
	commandArray['Group:Brytare Inne']='Off'
	commandArray['WW sovlampa'] = 'Off'
	--Log
	commandArray['SendNotification']='Alarm Status#Away = Alarm armed#-2'	
	print('Activating alarm and motiondetection')
end
