Re: Floorplan Scripts & Delay

["drodegeb" <drodegeb@xxxxxxxxx>]

That was easy to setup, I will do some testing tonight. Another thing
I just noticed.  The xap message for my security system sends out
zones as Normal with a device value of 0 or Faulted with a value of
100, no On/Off.  In the device config there are many states such as
On/Off, Open/Closed.  Is there a way to add my state?  All devices
look like they are always closed when set to Open/Closed.
