Beginner Questions

Hi,

I apologize if some of this has been asked, I've read through the first 6/17 pages or so of posts.

Just got the AD2PI Network appliance box, as well as a smart things hub. I have a Vista 20p system.

I setup the AD2PI network appliance, no issues there. It can send and receive correctly.

Questions:

1) Under notification types on the alarm decoder web app (latest stable firmware version), I don't see a smart things type (it's mentioned on the github page), how do I get this type to show in the list?

2) Email settings. If I set them globally are they only for password recovery or should I be able to use them in the notifications as well?

3) I updated to the latest firmware, but wasn't sure if there was a way to see the existing firmware version from the webapp?

4) While trying to find the version, I figured I'd ssh to the pi, if I login as the default pi user, no problem. Should I be logging in as the webapp user though (in order to check version and do any other command stuff)? if so, my webapp user/password doesn't seem to work :|

5) Tried sending notifications with pushover - they are instant and work well. When I try in the ST app, there is a delay before sensors detect anything. From reading the forums, I checked the event subscriptions etc, I know the zone is mapped correctly - it does work, it just takes a while - I have to keep hitting refresh before it detects anything. I read somewhere about 1 min delay etc but just wondering if I am doing something wrong?

6) Last question which is just a general if anyone knows or can point me to the doc -> some of my wireless sensors are not picked up on the panel as faults, batteries seem to be full.. is there a way to re-link them somehow? It a vista 20p with the regular panels, i think 60 something, 6065? something like that.

Thank you!

Most of this sounds like you aren't on the latest version of the webapp

Either manually check for updates at /update

OR

ssh in and issue these commands

Code: Select all
cd /opt/alarmdecoder
git pull origin master
sudo python setup.py install
cd ../alarmdecoder-webapp
git pull origin master
sudo reboot


Once that is done you will get the answer to a lot of your questions with regard to smartthings as well as many others listed.


The global email is just for password recovery for the admin, notifications are more granular and tied to a specific user

thanks Kevin!

I was following this: https://www.alarmdecoder.com/wiki/index.php/Firmware
which I think is where I went wrong.

All up to date now. Thanks!
