Issues with Smartthings Alarmdecoder (AD2USB 2.0)
Posted: Mon Apr 27, 2020 5:34 pm
Hey all,
I had an older version of Alarmdecoder running with my AD2USB (older 2.0 model) attached, and it was actually pretty stable and I didn't have many issues with it. Of course, I decided to 'upgrade' and fix what wasn't broken
At this point, I've running into several issues:
1) Actually the same issue I ran into the last time I set things up, and I don't recall what the resolution actually was (viewtopic.php?f=3&t=328) but somehow I was able to get things working back then
2) I can 'bypass'/ignore issue #1 but after completing the Smartthings installation/integration with Alarmdecoder (followed steps from https://github.com/nutechsoftware/alarm ... martthings), I don't see any activity when I open a door. I've mapped the zone sensor to the virtual contact sensor to no avail. Also strange but the "AlarmDecoder UI" panel thing shows up as "Not Ready" in the classic ST app as well as the IDE, however in the new app it shows "Connected" - either way, I can't seem to get any responses upon testing a sensor. I do have UPNP enabled. Can't seem to get any useful info out of the Live or App logs either.
3) I am able to telnet to the device at port 10000 and even send commands to it no problem. So I'm not quite sure what the issue is.
Where else can I look to troubleshoot all this? As I go deeper and deeper with this, I have less of a tolerance these days than previously when I had no kids and a lot more time hahaha.
