I was looking at the alarmdecoder on git ... and I'm thinking about buying an AD2PI ... I have a vista 128BP and I want a better way to add and remove users then walking about to the keypad and typing a whole mess of codes in. The installer put everything in compass but they want to charge me everytime I change something so thats not going to work.

I've tried messing with the home automation stuff but its not consistent with typing all the those codes in a virtual keypad over a serial connection.

So I'm wondering if the this AD2PI will solve my problem, I want to be able to enter a new code some where and a "USER POSITION" and have it type all the keys in making sure that it works ...

*it would be great if it would work when it was armed to.

So is there a function in these things for that ?

Sorry, there is no automated alarm programming through the alarmdecoder interface

Is this still the case ... I see on the product description that you guys added now "programming your panel"

Thanks

Well, we now have support for interfacing with Compass is what that means.

However, we do have something that MIGHT suit you if you have your installer code - in the web interface you can create a 'custom button' that you can send a string of keys to that might facilitate this. https://www.alarmdecoder.com/wiki/index ... om_Buttons

I think if you know python it would be trivial to replicate that functionality for your own needs with the framework we have released (open source library and web application)

* It will never work when armed, it won't allow you to program when armed.

Just checking on this again ...

Is the custom button / script still the only way to do this ?

Thanks

You can write a script or use the custom button or the REST API.

Programming automation was never on the roadmap as far as I know, just the ability TO program.

There are many ways to interface with the device to send the keystrokes you want.
