tmiller Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Currently working on an Omni LT security system which contains a garage door contact. HC-300 is tied into Omni LT Panel via serial. What I want to do is disarm the security system if the garage door opens. I am having problems but know communication between C4 and Omni is happening because I can program it to turn on the great room lights when the door opens but can find the correct programming to disarm the security system. I have triedWhen the Garage Door opens? If Security System --> AwayState is True ---> Security System --> DisarmedState = TrueAlso tried When the Garage Door opens? If Security System --> AwayState is True --> Press the Disarm button on the Security system --> Press the 1 button on the Security system --> Press the 1 button on the Security system --> Press the 1 button on the Security system --> Press the 1 button on the Security systemwith the 1111 being security code Anyone recall what action is required to trigger in order to disarm the Omni LT from within Composer?

henniae Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 It is your decision but, to me it seems like a bad idea to disarm the security system when the garage door opens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveC4 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Bad idea. That's just a sensor you know.If you want to do this I would get a card access mini remote, and have a button press (or sequence of button presses) open the garage and disarm the alarm, but I wouldn't just have the alarm disarm when the garage door opens. Open garage doors isn't exactly the most difficult thing to do. Moving the sensor to make it THINK it's open is even easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmiller Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 Understood that is not the best idea but sometimes you need to work with what you have and what the current need is. The need is during cold or stormy periods so they can press the garage door opener in the car and drive right in the house. Running to catch the keypad in the front foyer hasn't worked out well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CFUG Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 ^Yeah, that's just plain stupid not to place a KP near the OHD/garage-to-house door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
