I am using the EVL3 and the envisalink integration to monitor my Vista 20P alarm panel. While looking at the motion history of some of the hardwired motion sensors I noticed one in our basement that is constantly registering motion (about every 30 seconds). This is an area that is generally not used and yet there are a lot of little triggers in the history. I sat and looked at the physical alarm panel to see if it was registering the same motion and it does not. I am guessing there is more tolerance in the panel than HA. So in thinking about how to troubleshoot this, i was wondering if there is a way to monitor the alarm panel status in HA. This would let me track the history of the panel readings and compare them to the sensor.
does the EVL web interface say the same thing regarding last zone tripped time?
The panel zones are generally configured to report a zone fault if the zone fault for more than say, 300ms. The EVL gets its status from the panel, not the zone itself or an expander, so the panel has to be registering a fault for the EVL to register
Yes the EVL web interface lines up with what HA history is showing. Also the the EVL shows the sensor open (motion detected) the web panel shows as Ready to arm. I think I am going to replace that sensor to see if it is the issue.
