Thank you Ben Got it working and all tested today.
I got a new Iris keypad working with the device type & smartapp posted above…works great–Thank you for all the work! Few questions though:
-
I have two arm/stay modes that I use with SHM: 1) armStay = all exterior door/window contacts are armed, but no interior doors 2) Bedtime = Both exterior and interior contacts are armed. Is there a good way to use this keypad to do all my desired commands: Off = disarm (I’m home routine). Partial = armstay. On = ArmAway (my goodbye routine). ? = Bedtime. Panic = not enabled (though I’d like to enable). Currently, I’ve started using a different user code that allows for the Bedtime armstatus…wondering if anybody has a better idea.
-
has anybody gotten the panic button to work?
-
the Iris also has an 85 db siren (according to the directions online)…any success integrating that into ST?
SHM only has 3 states,
-arm/stay (partial button on iris keypad) your day arming?
-arm/away full arming (on button on iris keypad) your night arming?
-disarm (off button on iris keypad)
Not that has been reporting but @mitchp has mentioned he would look into the chime function when he gets more tinker time. So maybe he can do that then too.
The IRIS system does have a separate siren but on I don’t believe their is on built into the keypad. That would be cool, but I think it’d kill the battery.
Yeah, I use the three SHM states, but I also have configured custom monitoring on interior doors during my “Bedtime” mode that essentially give me a 4th SHM state (though it obviously still displays at Arm/Stay). I know the keypad will only display “Partial” for this, but I wanted to see if there was an alternative way of making it run my Goodnight routine. Currently, I’m using a different user code prior to pushing partial, but wanted to see if anybody could think of another way.
Cool, looking forward to trying the Chime too, though I’m not sure if it will be great or drive my wife and I nuts.
I don’t have an Iris keypad as I don’t really have a need for more than my Xfinity unit. If I do end up getting an Iris pad I will take a look at it, but no guarantees. I’m not sure that the Xfinity version advertises a chime feature. I tried asking CentraLite for any kind of technical documentation they could share, but I never heard back. I would imagine that they would need approval from Comcast to do that and I think we all know the likeliness of that happening 
Anyone else is more than welcome to try though (and if anyone from CentraLite ever stumbles across this forum and wants to give any pointers… )
Let me know if there is anything I can do to help. I’m not a real developer. More of a trial and error, copy and paste, when it comes to ST/groovy but I’ve been able to accomplish some stuff doing that.
Got some great help getting my new Iris Keypad working the other day hope I can get some help getting SmartAlarm working.
I think ive done something wrong I get a notification that the alarm is going to set in 30 sec but then when I open the door to leave the alarm goes off… is there something els I need to look for.
If anyone has any pointers that can help me get this working id greatly appreciate it.
Thanks guys
If this happens no matter how you arm SmartAlarm then I’d recommend posting here
I would be willing to buy and ship a IRIS keypad to anyone with enough experience to dig through the coding and and see if the chime function is compatible with the Smartthings system. I, while highly technical, do not have the skill set to go through the code myself
Also, has anyone explored creating an app that interfaces with the Smart Alarm app instead of the Smart Home Monitor? While Smart Home Monitor is a great app it seems to lack the customization that Smart Alarm offers. In specific the entry and exit delays.
I have a spare keypad if someone can use it to figure out the chime and motion detection. Or I’m willing to log or help if I can from here.
I got the IRIS v2 keypad today. Installed the centralite-keypad device type in the first post. Initially I held off on the app, I should not need the app (as far I as I know) just to get the device installed. I went into Connect New Device and it found something, but then never resolved as to what it was. It just kept spinning / working for a long time. Eventually the cell phone locked, since unlocking, I will not even find it.
I have tried resetting the device per the IRIS site instructions and I have since deleted/reinstalled the DTH and added the SA (just in case). No luck. Any pointers? Not my first device, added Nest Thermo - so I have some passing familiarity with these pages, but stumped here.
Did it eventually add as a generic ‘Thing’ or did it not find anything at all? If it didn’t find anything then make sure you properly entered the pairing mode. I have the Xfinity version so I don’t have any knowledge of the pairing procedure for the Iris version.
It does eventually see it as a generic Thing. Does that help at all? Seems the DTH works for others with the new V2 Iris Keypad.
After it sees it as a generic thing, you can go into IDE and change the device type the custom device handled you loaded.
That might be the missing step, thanks @JH1 . Now to learn how to use this! Lots of reading to do tomorrow. 
I just bought the keypad and successfully set it up and got it to work. However the green light does not turn off, is that normal?
That’s not normal… I have 2 setup and working, and neither have the green light on. Other than that, I don’t have anything intelligent to add.
Never mind, held the button on the back and it went away
@blebson, feature request for your excellent App please.
Some way to check state of alarm readiness upon triggering Arm (either Away or Stay). I currently have a traditional house alarm, walking to the keypad you get a visual indication if the alarm is read or not. However through Control4 automation I have also controlled the LED on a separate trigger light switch to be green if ready and red if not - thus when heading to bed I know before hitting the light switch trigger.
I can do this through what’s out there, a) the Routine triggers only a virtual light switch, which then in Rule Machine first a validation and PUSH message and b) fires a second trigger (delayed) to finally arm the system. The delay gives time to fix the open zones, the Push details what’s open. However it really is tying a lot of triggers and events together that simply increase risk of something going wrong.
Thus as above, the ask is a way to check the state of the alarm readiness and communicate in the situation of a bad state (with details!) all instant, while the delay is happening.
What kind of bad state do you mean? What kind of details?
