Hello, I have three door contacts, for two contacts the alarm should begin immediately when the contact is going to “open”, for one contact there should be a delay from 5s so I can switch off the alarm button (before alarm-action was executed) (disarm). Can this be done with “expire” option I foun…

Thx a lot !! Works, and also thanks for the comments inside, so bether to understand 8and learn!) I think and hope, this kind of “blinking LED” -rule-part can be usefull for other guys with a alarm system in oH (only thing I changed is the on/off part after deactivating, because when alarmstate =…

I think so … Just trying, and immediatly first problem to create a “switch” with 3 states I want: Switch item=AlarmArmed label=“Alarmanlage” icon=“siren” mappings=[OFF=“Aus”,STARTING=“(start)”,ON=“! ARMED !”] Shure, this can not work: switch has only ON/OFF. Found this: klick Do I need a mappin…

I don’t think you need a three-state switch for simple function. The alarm is set or not. The timer is running or not. If you are planning something fancier, like beeping and flashing during arm or disarm periods, then you could use a String type Item to take any values you choose.

Hmmm, I’m talking about to activate (Arm) the alarm. This should be done with a delay, so after switching the (soft) alarm “switch” to “starting” (the new option), the next 20s open contacts will not result in a real alarm. So I thought the three position switch will be the best way, to activate (…

[image] Topsurfer: I’m talking about to activate (Arm) the alarm. Yes. Set the alarm state to whatever represents “armed” in 20 seconds time. During that 20 seconds, the alarm state is not armed. That’s just a binary, on/off function still. If you want to represent more than two states …

So, here my changed part for the soft-button. Think it should work, also with (simple) delay I added. (0: Off, 1=start delay/activating; 2: Alarm is activ) Is it possible to add “into” the delay from 30s a function, that the LED will switch on/off periodically (1s on, 1s off, …) til the 30s are …

You can find a “flashing LED” rule here [image] Blinking LED - how to implement it correctly? Scripts & Rules In my installation when I receive signal from flood sensor I will activate blinging led. Because I have many sensors I have several similar sections: …

Thanks for the hint, now the LED is blibking, and will not stop. Still blinking, also when pressing “Armed” or “Off” … How can I stop the rule, because I thought I have add a break-point (TimerH.cancel) and rule for starting the rule (AlarmArmedState changed from 0 to 1): Also wondering, the log…

Did you forget to add var Timer TimerH = null at the top of the rule?

No, I added already :wink: restarting oH, now the LED works as expected (in first tests)! Seems a died rule was running in the background .. on…off…on… What i see now, when using the “3 position” softbutton (Off, activating, Armed), a status change from i.e. “Off” to “Armed” done on tablet A is…

Anyone an idea? Actual it’s not so fine because the actual alarm state is not vissible (3x greyed) (another simple “switch” is updated in real time everywhere) PS: Happy new year !!

[SOLVED] Alarm contacts, one with delay (to have time to switch off the alarm)
