Satel - Bypass zones

Hello,

Although “bypass” is a valid state_type for “zone” objects, it’s currently not possible to actively bypass or unbypass zones, for example by using a Switch (iso Contact) item type. At least, I don’t think so by reading the code…

I had a quick look at the Satel protocol description and the existing Satel binding and at first sight it seems doable to support this. For example, by creating a ZoneControl enum that implements the ControlType interface and making use of the 0x86 and 0x87 Satel command.

Any thoughts or interest for this?

Br, Chris.

Hello Chris,
this is definitely doable and actually quite easy to implement. If you’re interested I will make required changes in the code so you could test them. Please let me know.
