ajd123 Posted February 6, 2023 Posted February 6, 2023 I want to create a programming block to bypass a motion detector when the system is armed away for 1 minute before/after sunrise and 1 minute before/after sunset. I get as far as this (attached picture). Anyone know if it is possible to have Control4 ask the DSC system to bypass a motion when the system is in an armed state? Quote
South Africa C4 user Posted February 7, 2023 Posted February 7, 2023 The best way to do this is to bypass a zone which can be done using the virtual keypad. From memory, the following commands in C4 programming would bypass zone 5 (I can’t recall if this can be done when the system is armed or only before arming). Press button * on DSC keypad Press button 1 on DSC keypad Press button 0 on DSC keypad Press button 5 on DSC keypad There is also a command to remove bypasses when the system is armed (I can’t recall exactly what this is but could find out if you needed it). I am not sure if all DSC drivers give you access to programming keypad commands within C4 (I know the Domosapiens drivers give you this access). Once you can access the keypad controls directly you can do anything via C4 that the DSC system itself allows. I wrote a macro for zone bypasses and a macro for cancelling bypasses which makes my code quite simple (set a zone number and run the bypass macro or run the cancel bypass macro). Quote
