Features in this release:

  • Bypass Support - Adds new bypass switch for each Alarm partition (or just your alarm in general if you only have one partition). If this switch is on, any open windows/doors will be bypassed when the alarm is armed. Note that this will delay arming by about 1.5s for each open zone because it takes a while for the panel to process each bypass request. With this approach, automation support is more seamless. For example, if you want to arm the alarm every night at 11PM, you can leave this switch on and the automation will work...even if there are open doors/windows.
  • Automatic Retry on Failed Connections - if the socket connection to the Envisalink device fails, re-connect will be attempted ever 60 seconds.

Known Issues

  • Duplicate switch names in iOS 16 - there is an iOS 16 bug with switch labels. This makes it impossible to distinguish between Chime or Bypass labels or Panic switch labels. This is a HomeKit bug and needs to be fixed by Apple. See details here and report to Apple directly via Apple Feedback.

Home vs. Night

DSC does not distinguish between these 2 arm modes that are provided in HomeKit. The behavior of the plugin
(as of 1.1.0) is as follows:

  • Home: Arm to stay with entry delay.
  • Night: Arm to stay with no entry delay (if any door is opened, alarm will immediately sound)
