I am running a standard loop to check status and call arm/disarm functions. This has worked perfectly but I noticed that recently it started failing. This could have started after the last update downloaded but I am not sure. I don't know how to fix this. My code has been running for almost a year without any issues. Ideas?

code snippet:
try:
# Retrieved an AD2 device that has been exposed with ser2sock on localhost:10000
# and set up SSL values.
ssl_device = SocketDevice(interface=(SER2SOCK_HOST,SER2SOCK_PORT))
ssl_device.ssl = True
ssl_device.ssl_ca = SSL_CA
ssl_device.ssl_key = SSL_KEY
ssl_device.ssl_certificate = SSL_CERT

device = AlarmDecoder(ssl_device)

device.on_message += handle_message
device.on_arm += handle_arm
device.on_disarm += handle_disarm

print 'Running...'

with device.open():
while True:
time.sleep(1)

except Exception, ex:
print 'Exception:', ex


Log of the error message after I arm the alarm in Away mode:

[10010001000000003A--],002,[f70000008002001c08000000000000],"****DISARMED**** READY TO ARM "
[10010001000000003A--],002,[f70000008002001c08000000000000],"****DISARMED**** READY TO ARM "

Arm Mode is now passed in the event, check you have updated the alarmdecoder library

If this is your custom code, make sure you are handling the kwargs

My code was based on a the standard examples except I call a shell script to activate cameras. It looks like this:

def handle_message(sender, message):
print message.raw

def handle_arm(sender):
print sender
print 'Arming cameras...'
#bash shell scripts must have execute permissions.
subprocess.call("/home/pi/armcameras.sh", shell=True)
print 'Cameras armed !'

def handle_disarm(sender):
print sender
print 'Disarming Cameras...'
#bash shell script must have excute permissions.
subprocess.call("/home/pi/disarmcameras.sh", shell=True)
print 'Cameras disarmed !'

if __name__ == '__main__':
main()


================
My work around was to change line 621 in the decoder.py to remove the parameter.
# self.on_arm(stay=message.armed_home)
self.on_arm()

I could not figure out how to make the handle_arm function accept the return parameter "stay-message.armed_home). If you could post a sample of that snippet of code, that would be great and I can put the decoder.py file back to its original version. Thanks

Try passing stay in as a kwarg - **kwargs - something like def handle_arm( sender, **kwargs): stay = kwargs.get('stay', False)

That worked! Thank you very much for the sample.
