Ok, so I'm a bit of a loss here and not really sure where I should be going. I'm trying to emulate your "ARMED" & "DISARMED" scenes for my setup, but can't quite figure out where to start.

First, I have door/window sensors on each outside door (5 so far) of my house and a motion sensor inside.I want to be able to arm my house and have it send me an email if one of the sensors is broken or motion is detected.... I know I need a scene to ARM and DISARM, but not really sure what to do past that..

Can you give me a set of breadcrumbs to follow to get this setup? Don't necessarily need a step by step, just a idea of what I need for each step.

THanks

Here... I can do better than bread crumbs. I've been meaning to make up a tutorial for this for a while now - finally got it done this morning. Setting Up an Alarm System with InControl.

Feedback welcomed.

Ryan, do you have the two scripts listed on your site for download? Looking for the EmailAlarm.cs mainly....

Thanks

I just got looking and realized that the EmailAlarm.cs is really just a customized version of 'EmailSceneStatusReport.cs'. I updated the tutorial to just show the use of EmailSceneStatusReport.cs. You have that one, correct?

For all security purposes a set of cameras and motion sensing lighting is enough. If you want to give an edge to your security system install 4 grid sensor system.
