Toggle Rule with F key

[Tomas Nanko]

Hello,

Is there way we can toggle rules with F key?

Scenario; Client has a schedule running for auto arm and disarm, but wants to bypass that schedule on certain days. I want to program F4 key on KP2 to toggle the Rule that runs the schedule. If there is a better or more efficient way of programming this, I am open to your suggestions.

Whenever F4 on Any Keypad is activated

Then Toggle OUTPUT 100 (this is just an example and you could use any unused output)

 

Whenever Time Is {the Auto Arm Time}

AND OPUTPUT 100 is OFF

Then Arm My Home (Area 1) To Away Mode

 

Whenever Time is {the Auto Disarm Time}

AND OUTPUT 100 is OFF

Then Disarm My Home (Area 1)

 

In ElkRP2 under keypads the Activation Event for F4 will be Disabled; The Illuminations Event will be 7100 which can be used as a visual indication F4 has been activated and OUTPUT 100 is ON therefore the system is NOT going to Auto Arm or Auto Disarm; (optional) BLINK LIGHT can be checked, Single Press and assign a simple short NAME.

 

When F4 is pressed OUTPUT will toggle between ON/OFF and when OUTPUT 100 is ON the F4 key on the keypad will light up (or Blink) and the Rules to Auto Arm/Disarm will be disabled. When the F4 is pressed Again OUTPUT 100 will turn OFF and the F4 Light will not be illuminated.
