 When a partition is in the '''!NotReady''' state, the plugin will attempt to send the '''star(*)''' command to get the faulted zones. If there are two or more active partitions the plugin will use the '''GOTO''' command to switch to the partition the command was issued for. This command requires a user code valid for that partition. The plugin stores the user code for every partition in an internal variable to use it '''ONLY''' for getting the faulted zones (all the other commands still require the PIN code). If no previous command has been given to this partition, no PIN code will be available, which means that it won't be possible to get the faulted zones. This is what the '''Store''' button is for. If you see that a partition is in the ''!NotReady'' state, but the faulted zones list is empty, enter the PIN code in the ''PIN code'' field and store it. After this, you should see the faulted zones list being populated.
 
-== Debugging ==
-By default, the plugin logs only the important events, like the alarms and errors. To enable verbose logging for this plugin open the ''Advanced'' tab in the panel device's Control Panel and set '''!DebugMode''' to '''1''', then restart Luup.
+== Configurable parameters ==
+In the panel device's control panel -> ''Advanced'' tab there are two configurable parameters.

+==== TTL ====
+Quote from [http://www.nutech.com/index.php?option=com_fireboard&Itemid=74&func=view&catid=4&id=5 NuTech forums]:
+ The alarm panel does not sent out CLEARED messages when a zone is restored. To determine if a zone is clear you have to watch all faulted zones and if one stops reporting as faulted consider it restored. So you have to track the state of the zone messages.
+
+The '''TTL''' is the number of seconds a zone hasn't been reported as faulted after which it will be considered ''CLEARED''. This should be set according to the number of zones. It takes few seconds to cycle through 3 zones, but many seconds to cycle through 16 zones. The default value for TTL is 60 seconds.

+==== !DebugMode ====
+By default, the plugin logs only the important events, like the alarms and errors. To enable verbose logging for this plugin set '''!DebugMode''' to '''1''', then restart Luup.
