Allow setting Security System state

[garethflowers]

Currently setting the Security System (Alarm) state in HomeKit has no effect.

This is simply because I have yet to figure out what (if?) there is a socket command that can be sent to activate it.

Hi Gareth,

Couldn't see another way too message you directly regarding this - but have you heard of a system called Homey, but uses Node.JS I believe to create open source apps - your Texecom plug works great with Homebridge and I was wondering if you'd be interested in porting it to Homey, or if you have any idea of how easy that would be for a beginner such as myself?

Just after some advice really, cheers in advance.

Thanks

Nigel

Hey Gareth,

I may have worked this out. If you enable "quick arm" in the alarm panel settings you should be able to arm it using the following:

Sending "KEYA" should arm the alarm for Away

Sending "KEYP" then "KEYY" will part arm preset 1.

Then to Disarm, you create a new user called "Homekit" on the panel and enable the "auto yes" attribute. Pick a 4 digit code

and sequentially send "KEY1" "KEY2" "KEY3" "KEY4" to the panel to disarm if the user code was 1234.

Will need a 350ms delay when sending numerous button presses.

Edit - This is using the Crestron IP protocol - I Cant vouch that these will work using their V4 API as ive had nothing to do with it.

Any progress on being able to set / under the alarm with this plugin? Thanks in advance
