madhatter1138 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Hi First post, and hope this hasn't been asked previously. I have a keypad at an outside patio that controls 4 switches that in turn turn on/off some heaters. When the alarm system is armed, I would like to disable the keypads, like a vacation mode.. Really not sure how to go about it. Any info would be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMHarman Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Put a conditional in each of the button programs. ? If armed = disarmed Programming that exists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madhatter1138 Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 Ok sounds very simple... I didnt have any other programming on the keypad buttons, just a connection to the switch BUTin programming I added WHEN BUTTON 1 IS PUSHED? If>Security System>DISARMED_STATE is True And thats it..I'm VERY new to this as you can tell. I go for training next month but of course the boss wants me working on a system or two in the meantime.

madhatter1138 Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 Sorry I should have said I added this WHEN BUTTON 1 IS PUSHED? If>Security System>DISARMED_STATE is TrueTurn On the Heater 1 But should I be using Toggle? What would turn it off again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMHarman Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Use a tracking variable. And nest another if inside. ?If heater1 = 0Turn on heater 1Set variable =1?If heater 1 = 1Turn off heater 1Set heater 1 variable =0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucecampbell Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 If your keypad buttons are bound to the switch that turns on and off your heater, then you will need to ask you dealer to remove the binding so you can control it via the programming. I am guessing the are bound in the connections tab because you say there is no programming on the keypad button clicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
