https://github.com/nutechsoftware/alarm ... ialport.py is an example of handling a message
To send a message, you just call "device.send(string)" and if you want to verify the message actually sent to the panel you can use the "on_sending_received" event
- Code: Select all
#fake disarm
device.on_sending_received += handle_send
device.send(12341)
def handle_send(device, status, message):
print "Successful alarm panel send"
