X10 Output Alarm Smarts.

Post by p_thrill »

Version: ZM v1.21.3
X10 Enabled; Run Mode: Continuous; X10 Output Alarm String: 3+600
Problem: Infinite loop of lights on/off (motion detected; lights on; wait 10 min; lights off; creates alarm; lights on, etc...)
Goal: Suspend alarms with (zmu -m 3 -u); turn off the lights; Resume alarms with (zmu -m 3 -r)

I've tried to modifiy the zmx10.pl script to include the zmu command, but my knowledge of perl is very limited. Has anyone found a solution/work around to this problem? Is this something that can be considered for future releases?

just an idea, when the lights come back on the change should be accross the whole image, could you alter the zone to ignore changes bigger than 90% etc
