DSC security system protocol

Greg Rapp

On Apr 12, 2011 03:21

I've been working on an OpenRemote protocol for the DSC security system IT-100 automation interface. Currently it can arm and disarm the system and also implements the StatusCommand interface to report the system's current status to a sensor widget. I'm still working on additional functionality but I wanted to gauge interest before I put too much more time into it. I'd be happy to donate the code to the project if anybody is interested. Just let me know...

      Juha,

      I've put together an XML definition file for UIDesigner for my DSC interface. Do I need to branch UIDesigner to commit the XML or can I just email/post it somewhere?

      Thanks.

            Can you please give it a try to make sure everything's ok?

              It appears to be working although I seem to be hitting an unrelated bug.

              Last week I added several commands (for each of my security zones) using the 'Submit and Continue' button when adding them. Since my protocol definition was not in the designer, I just added them as TCPIP commands and my plan was just to just hack the XML to work for my DSC protocol.

              When I save and export the XML and open it locally, several of the commands are not showing up in the exported XML. Now when I add new commands, they are not showing up in the XML either. I'm guessing something went wrong on the backend when I was adding all of the commands last week.

              I don't know if it's worth taking a look at the database to see if something went wrong. If not, if you could just reset my Designer account so I can start over from scratch, that would be great.

              Thanks.

                Reset.

                However IIRC this deployed version still has a 'issue' where if the commands are not bound to an actual panel UI widget, it just discards them as useless.

              Also, some of the labels appear to be a little long. Not a big deal, but I've shortened them so they look a little better in the Designer.
