New Error When Arming

[Rene]

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:

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

[Rene]

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)

[Rene]

That worked! Thank you very much for the sample.
