Netvox Alarm Security
Description
This component allows you to connect to a Netvox alarm security device that is paired with a Netvox USB adapter attached to your PC.
Netvox alarm security devices include window and passive infra red sensors.
IMPORTANT: you must first use a Netvox USB component and successfully connect to the USB adapter before attempting to connect to a
device.
Before starting the component you need to send the IEEE address of the device to the 'Id' input. The IEEE address is usually written on the
device itself.
Trigger the Start input to connect. The Status output will show as "Searching”. If the device can't be found the status will show as “Not
Found”. If the status shows “No Network” then the Netvox USB adapter has been disconnected.
On successful startup the device details will be updated. Battery level, device type, tamper , alarm and fault status are all updated.
You have the option to set the Heartbeat via the 'Heart' input. This is the rate at which the device will send signals back to the USB adapter to
tell it that it is still alive. It also reports full device details during these signals. The Heartbeat period is in seconds.
To trigger an update manually you can send a trigger to the 'Query' input.
If the device alarm is triggered the 'Alarm' output will send its status immediately (or as soon as the network allows).
If the connection is lost at any time the status will change to “Lost Connection”. Reconnection will start automatically at which point the status
will change to “Reconnecting”.
