I’ve try it !

Communication is correct but app.js stop repport data after a few hour.  
Are there not a LWT ?  
How to run it at boot time ?

Here is my riscopanel.items (for sample)

```csv

```

Here is my transform riscopanel.map

```csv
armed=ON
disarmed=OFF
false=OFF
true=ON
active=ON
bypassed=OFF

```

Here is a sample of sitemap

```csv
	Frame {

		Text label="Risco" icon="siren" {
			Text item=RiscoPanel_armstatus	label="State"
			Text item=RiscoPanel_isonalarm	label="Alarm"
			Text item=RiscoPanel_lastevent	label=""

			Text item=RiscoPanel_dects11_name	label=""	valuecolor=[RiscoPanel_dects11_state=="ON"="green", RiscoPanel_dects11_state=="OFF"="red"]
		}

```

With this status of alarm, I can now make a rules to control my temperature or make blinking RGB strip when I leave my home.

To Do startup boot script and relaunch when app hang.

Thanks for your work

You can use i.e. PM2 (i use this)…

[https://pm2.io/doc/en/runtime/overview/?utm\_source=pm2&utm\_medium=website&utm\_campaign=rebranding](https://pm2.io/doc/en/runtime/overview/?utm_source=pm2&utm_medium=website&utm_campaign=rebranding)

anyway my app doesn’t stop, even if run alone … probably there are some issues .

Can you send me logs on /logs folder ?

Luca

Hi

I’m having trouble arming my alarm trough MQTT, i use MQTT-spy for testing.  
I use the this topic “riscopanel/armstatus/SET” and i send “armed”, but nothing happens.

the npm log says:

```csv
17-11-2018 23:06:00 info: message from mqtt arrived:riscopanel/armstatus/SET/armed
17-11-2018 23:06:00 info: arm/disarm command arrived
17-11-2018 23:06:00 debug: user code is expired? : false
17-11-2018 23:06:00 debug: arm command result ok

```

If I send a “disarmed” i works, so the connection to my alarmsystem is OK

Another thing.  
I can’t see the status of the alarm in the topic “riscopanel/armstatus” even if I disarm the system from MQTT-spy nothing is written, but i dose disarm the system.

If I use my Myelas app to arm/disarm my system it shows in the npm log, but nothing is send trough MQTT

```csv
17-11-2018 23:19:42 debug: ...Control Panel State taken and overview not empty... OK
17-11-2018 23:19:42 debug: Polled...counter: 128
17-11-2018 23:19:42 debug: newarmstatus emitted
17-11-2018 23:19:42 debug: no new status
17-11-2018 23:19:42 info: Status panel infos arrived

```

Hi  
I am not quite sure what you are meaning, isn’t Risco and myelas the same?  
I use the MyELAS app and my alarm is a Infinite iConnect 2-Way

In some areas (probably in Europe) they sell as Risco, in other countries as MyElas… The product is the same and the cloud too… but i’ve no tested it with myelas yet… Can you send me config.js (without your credential,obviously)and lg files ?

In case open a request on my github project
