Re: Comfort Design Question

["Andrew" <TDV@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Actually, you can use a response on the the Rio input to generate and
alarm, see action 25,1 (Do intruder Alarm) with various conditions at
the front like, 'get security mode' and then do alarm if in Away or
Night mode.

Though it's not ideal, the actually alarm zone is not logged, just the
alarm event.
