I know that this thread is a bit old, but was wondering if the scout monitoring would respond to a panic button. I have the Aeon Labs Panic Button on my ST system and would like to know this but couldn’t find any information by searching.

If you mean through the SmartThings integration, you have to fool it by having a switch (which can be virtual) report as a contact or motion sensor.

That can be done using Mike Maxwell’s universal device type, but may introduce some additional lag. And it won’t run locally because it’s custom code.

This has got to be the sickest DTH ever… The uDTH Ever wished you could turn on a presence sensor with a switch?, or maybe take a lock command and send a motion event? Basically this bad boy accepts these commands: on off open close lock unlock and can turn them into these attribute states: open closed present not present active inactive The following capabilities are presented on the command side: switch door control garage door control lock The following devices are presented on the attribute side: Contact Motion Presence Door Acceleration Illuminance Smoke Water Sound You wire up an instance of this device to two separate apps, and off you go. Add to your repo, and select the device MikeMaxwell : uDTH the repo is owner: MikeMaxwell name: dth [image] [image] [image…

Personally, I wouldn’t rely on it for a panic button situation, but it’s something you can consider.
