Does anyone know how to clear this red “intrusion detected” status on a piston?
For some reason, it is preventing my alarm from triggering the second time. I have to clear it manually through the SmartThings app and sometimes we forget and then the Alarm Triggered piston doesn’t work.
I would LOVE this capability as well, but I believe the disappointing answer is that it is not programmatically possible from SmartThings unless someone has reverse engineered the ST mobile client.
Is it possible to have multiple virtual switches? If I can get around the SHM functionality and make my own Armed (Away) and Armed (Stay) switches, that could potentially solve my problem.
To set up a virtual switch? It is done through the smartthings API. Add a new device of type “virtual device”
You can create virtual switches easily via the ST app as well. Go to Marketplace | More and scroll down to Virtual Device Creator.
I used this to create a virtual switch for the alarm system but I could not figure out how to make more than one.
Just run the app again and enter a new name for the new switch and hit ‘Save’. At the bottom of the app you’ll see a list of the virtual devices you’ve created.
I ended up creating what I needed inside the SmartThings website as HAL2000 suggested.
Steps:
1.) Login to the SmartThings API website
2.) Click My Devices at the top
3.) Click the New Device button in the top right
4.) Complete fields as noted in the screenshot below:
I’ve done both. Not hard either way. Just depends on whether I’m working from my phone or my desktop.
Ok I have set up the new virtual device as pictured, but how do I use that to clear my intrusion notice so the sirens go off again when triggered?
