Describe the bug
Stay and Sleep Arm also receives regular Arm.

Hi there - is it possible to have a separate state for Arm, behavior right now is when you Sleep/Stay Arm you also receive a Arm message which theoretically is correct. This makes it harder to maintain state across STAY/ARM/SLEEP/DISARM - easy for ARM/DISARM or STAY/SLEEP/DISARM but struggling with the combination.

Kind regards, Emi

Hi,

I'm not sure I fully understood your comment. In paradox/states/partitions/PARTITION_NAME/current you will have information about the current state.

This is intended for homekit but can be used for other means.

Hi there,

Am using with homekit and works great - let me try and explain;

Below messages from ARM/DISARM and STAY - SLEEP is same as STAY;

Arm Panel

paradox/states/partitions/Outside/arm - "True"
paradox/states/partitions/Outside/current - "AWAY_ARM"

Disarm Panel

paradox/states/partitions/Outside/arm - "False"
paradox/states/partitions/Outside/current - "DISARMED"

Arm Stay Panel

paradox/states/partitions/Outside/arm - "True"
paradox/states/partitions/Outside/current "AWAY_ARM"
paradox/states/partitions/Outside/stay_arm - "True"

Disarm from Stay Panel
paradox/states/partitions/Outside/stay_arm - "False"
paradox/states/partitions/Outside/arm - "False"
paradox/states/partitions/Outside/current - "DISARMED"

As you can see the paradox/states/partitions/Outside/arm is always present regardless of the mode, this makes it difficult to follow the state through the messages. If there was a message like paradox/states/partitions/Outside/full_arm the states would be separate, hope im explaining ok. Maybe a simpler view is not to get the paradox/states/partitions/Outside/arm True messages when in SLEEP or STAY, just the false as it would indicate the partition is disarmed.

So given the above if I filter only on;

paradox/states/partitions/Outside/stay_arm - "True/False"
paradox/states/partitions/Outside/sleep_arm - "True/False"
paradox/states/partitions/Outside/arm - "False"

I can get accurate state of SLEEP/STAY and DISARM for both of these - ARM is not possible as im excluding paradox/states/partitions/Outside/arm - "True"

Kind regards, Emil

Just to add;

paradox/states/partitions/Outside/current_hass

Sometimes it is correct for STAY and SLEEP i.e. "armed_night", but most of the time for all armed states it is just "armed_away"

There is a custom mapping for each platform. The mapping is limited to the states that exist in the target platform (homekit or hass).

See the configuration variables MQTT_PARTITION_HOMEBRIDGE_STATES and MQTT_PARTITION_HOMEASSISTANT_STATES as these states can be customized.

Thank you so much - there is still a bug somewhere as the status for ARM/STAY/SLEEP stays on armed_away most of the times - this was also the case in Tertuis's MQTTIP150 script - I could never get this to work reliable - not sure if other people are using all 3 armed states.

[iondarie]

i am using all the arm states on a daily basis and have not encountered any issues.

[emildevil]

Ok so just bought a new panel as messing with a active alarm not a good idea :-)

Issue still the same for hass - states not correct for STAY and SLEEP.

Anybody that can assist me to validate this - Iondarie confirmed all states is working for him/her. Only Warnings I get;

019-04-01 16:30:20,779 - WARNING - PAI.paradox.paradox - Missing element ID in system/
2019-04-01 16:30:21,259 - WARNING - PAI.paradox.paradox - Missing type special for event: 30.3 Partial arming

Kind regards, Emil

You can adjust the state map in the configuration file.
Regarding the warnings: please enable DEBUG log and send it to me at https://gitter.im/paradox-alarm-interface
