Oh my. This one’s over my head a bit, but thought I’d give it a shot anyway.
I went to create a new item, and based on what I’m seeing above, I set it’s Type to Number, but then I’m seeing a tie-in on your top line to the existing area status and that’s what threw me (because you had said to create this virtual item not bound to any channel).
I mean, I think I get what you’re saying - that because both status and setting the state are done in different commands on Omni, you need the virtual item to sort of bridge them together into a single Item, and that’s what then gets exposed to HomeKit.
So, assuming my interpretation of that was correct, I removed all the old linkages to the area’s status and commands and created this new virtual item (the “AlexaAlarmMode”) then linked it to the 7 SecurityCommand channels under that area.
I’m not sure where you’re looking to see the omnilink items in the raw text list (as I only use the GUI for my skill level).
For ease, I even kept the names of stuff how you had them, so the scripting didn’t need to be changed.
So, now the channel for Security Mode, I can actually see status words (Off, Away, Arming away, etc), but can’t seem to get the rule to mirror to the virtual item, nor am I sure where to then put the HomeKit linages (I’m assuming those would also go on the virtual item named “AlexaAlarmMode”).
I guess I’m just not quite getting it.
THING: Area (1): Main House (the Area I’m wanting to track/control security status for)

Item: Number-Point “AlexaAlarmMode”
Channel: SecurityCommand (all of them)
