DSC alarm

[BAS]

Does anyone know if it is possible to program actions based on zone status of my alarm system? I have included some screenshots from Composer HE. If I look in monitoring under properties I can see each alarm zone, however in programming the options seem very limited and don't appear to include the zones. I was hoping to trigger some lighting if certain doors were opened etc... Thanks in advance.

It depends if each zone/sensor is connected to a virtual sensor driver.  The programming is based off those virtual sensor drivers.

Thanks for the response. Not sure what a virtual sensor driver is. For example, would the actual (zone) door contact need to be linked through C4 to another sensor/something that would allow programming? Basically, the alarm door contact output serving as an input to something else then programming off of that? Is that something my dealer can do through the Composer Pro settings?

Thanks again

Yes. This is a task for a dealer. Composer HE will allow you to program off the state's of the virtual sensor drivers

As the others have mentioned, the sensor drivers offer you the programming options you want, here is an example for you:

You can then program specifically on 'When X senses/stops sensing motion' or use the 'When Contact State Changes'
Different drivers provide different wording, ie: the Door drivers offer 'open' and 'closed', the beam sensor offers 'broken' and 'restored'
