Envisalink Zone Bypass?
Is it possible to bypass a zone using this plugin? This is possible using the EyezOn app, so I am hoping this is feasible using this plugin, but I haven't seen anything which speaks to this. Sorry if this is not the right forum. I'm happy to post elsewhere if needed. Please advise.
This should be both possible and easier now that the plugin has been rewritten in typescript with a forked version of NodeAlarmProxy. It's a feature that I'd like as well. I'm thinking this should be a switch within the contact sensor itself (rather than a separate switch). Thoughts?
@dustindclark I'm excited to hear about this rewrite in TypeScript, it's an amazing language. Thank you for your efforts! I think this would be a nice feature as well.
My thoughts:
- Contact sensor - it is obvious where the control is, but may be cumbersome to manage - e.g. track down the window you want to bypass, or forget that it was bypassed previously
- Separate group of switches to have all the bypasses in one location, then this could be left in "favourites" so it is easy to access and see what was bypassed
- Add configuration to specify which sensors you want the ability to bypass, to simplify the selection for larger houses
- A combination of the two? Switch within each sensor but then also a group of bypass switches which duplicates the state
Has there been any movement on this? I'd love to be able to bypass a zone when arming my alarm. Please advise.
I'm going to close this issue in favor of #82. I think the fix with #82 negates the need for this feature because it enables bypassing any open zones when you arm the alarm, which is better for automation.
If anyone here disagrees, please reopen. Please see the latest update on #82 for details on the implementation and how to install the beta.
