Usage

Pressing the Clear Message button clears the status message displayed in the upper right corner of the dashboard.

The status displayed is the current arm mode.

The status displayed is the current arm mode.

The Elk M1 alarm panel requires the user code to arm/disarm a partition or to bypass/unbypass a zone. Enter the user code in the PIN Code field then click Store. The user code is stored securely and can't be accessed by anyone. It is NOT stored in a state variable to be visible by anyone with access to the Vera. This also means that the user code is lost when the Luup engine restarts and it needs to be entered again.

Pressing the Clear button erases the user code from memory.

It's not necessary to store the user code to arm/disarm a partition, but it must be present in the PIN Code field.

Debugging

By default, the plugin logs only the important events, like alarms and errors. To enable verbose logging go to the Advanced tab in the panel device's Toolbox and set the Debug Mode? to 1 then restart Luup.

It is recommended to look only for the log entries with levels 01 (errors) and 50 (Lua):

tail -f LuaUPnP.log | grep '^01\|^50'
