Hi @RSStephens , thanks for this contribution. I've started the review of your binding and will continue soon. I'll let you know when i am ready. Thanks, Thomas E.-E. |
Hello Thomas, I have made the changes you requested. Thank you, Russell. |

You may want to enable TimeDateBroadcastControl at startup and/or reconnect to the TPI. I've found it useful in keeping the connection alive between the Envisalink modules in some of my other work. For the most part, it means they'll periodically send the time over the wire... but I've seen cases where the connection is artificially dropped if there's no traffic (either by the TPI, or by the other Network components in at CT's environment). You could also use the "last time" a timestamp was received as a passive indicator that the connection is broken (in openHAB's ActiveBinding polling method), without having to actively reach out to the TPI at the time of the polling event. |
Mark, Thanks for the suggestions, I will definitely look into that and do some testing. Currently, I'm sending a POLL command after 15 minutes of idle time just to keep the connection from dropping. Maybe your methods would be more full proof. Thanks again for the insight. |
Hi @RSStephens If you need other testers, i would be more then willing. Do you have a wiki page yet for this binding? |
Hello @bcrosby333 That would be great to have other testers. I have added a wiki page here. I can also send you a sample sitemap if you would like. Note: This binding is only designed to connect with the EyesOn Envisalink Ethernet interface as that is what I have on my system. It is not capable of connecting to a serial interface. Thank you, |
Hey! So have been running the binding for a few weeks now. It seems to be stable I have not been able to figure out why yet. What leads me to think this is For instance, right now the item state for the panel connection is a "-". Thoughts? On Fri, Aug 29, 2014 at 2:27 PM, Russell Stephens notifications@github.com

Thanks. I will pull the update tonight and let you know.

I can't tell, but is ie. Will it always issue a new StatusReport call to the TPI? |

You may want to force the TPI StatusReport call in the Reconnect case, since you won't be getting internal commands for the duration of the disconnect (that would otherwise trigger that part of the code) If the disconnect is long-running, then all sorts of changes may have occurred on the DSC. It's probably the biggest complaint I have in the codebase that I wrote for Vera (In my case, I don't have a way of detecting the reconnect due to their internal frameworks). |
That makes sense. I will implement that. You wrote the interface for DSC Thank you, On Fri, Sep 19, 2014 at 1:26 PM, Mark notifications@github.com wrote:

The initial Vera DSC binding was written by one of the MCV team, but it was never completed. I re-wrote most of it, along with adding the mods for the Envisalink stuff, and it's the Plugin you see today. I think a lot of folks in the US will benefit from the DSC binding you're writing, along with the T-Stat (Nest/Ecobee) bindings that watou is converting over. I still have the Paradox Alarm binding on my todo list, along with a few others (Brultech, etc). I have a working Vera binding which lets me see & control everything on the Vera unit - although, haven't had a lot of cycles lately to push it to review, so it's stalled... gotta get back to that.... |

A Vera binding would be nice to have. I would certainly have a use for it. On Fri, Sep 19, 2014 at 2:34 PM, Mark notifications@github.com wrote:

thank you for working on the dsc envisalink binding , do you have a example sitemap ? |
Hello @automatedrobot, Glad you want to try this binding. I've added a sample sitemap to the wiki Let me know what you think. Thanks, On Tue, Sep 30, 2014 at 11:08 AM, automatedrobot notifications@github.com

I'm hoping to use this binding as soon as I get time to pull an Ethernet cable to my alarm box. |
I have been using this binding for last few days and has been working flawlessly for couple of weeks. Thanks for the binding. I ran into some minor issues while setting up the rules. There is no easy way to see if alarm is active or entry/exit delay in progress. I used to have those in Vera, so I missed them for my rules. I ended up using Panel message as input which is not ideal as it requires to look into source code to get the exact strings. |

Initial commit of DSC Alarm Binding
Hi @RSStephens could please also add the Wiki page soon? Please add the link to the page here as well. Thanks, Thomas |
Thank you Thomas. I've added the Wiki page. Here's the link: https://github.com/openhab/openhab/wiki/DSC-Alarm-Binding. |
Hello All,
This my first attempt at creating a binding. It is for the DSC Alarm using the EyesOn Envisalink 3/2ds network interface.
Thank you,
Russell
