Advanced Options

Deactivate specific plugin behaviors through the options array when the defaults do not match how your alarm system is set up.

Overview

Each alarm system is uniquely designed, and at times a plugin behavior may not align with your preferences. The options array lets you turn off specific aspects of the plugin.

These options remove functionality on purpose, so it is recommended to exercise caution. Disabling a behavior may result in the loss of expected functionality, as noted for each option below.

Available Options

The options field is an array of strings. Each string you include enables one advanced option.

By default, the array is empty, and every behavior stays enabled.

Disable the Alarm Ringing Switch

Include the "disableAlarmRingingSwitch" value in the options array to disable the "Alarm Ringing" switch.

{
  "platforms": [
    {
      "platform": "ADTPulse",
      "name": "ADT Pulse",
      "options": [
        "disableAlarmRingingSwitch"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Ignore Sensor Problem Statuses

Include the "ignoreSensorProblemStatus" value in the options array to ignore "Sensor Problem" statuses.

{
  "platforms": [
    {
      "platform": "ADTPulse",
      "name": "ADT Pulse",
      "options": [
        "ignoreSensorProblemStatus"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Combining Options

You can enable both options at once by listing each value in the options array.

{
  "platforms": [
    {
      "platform": "ADTPulse",
      "name": "ADT Pulse",
      "options": [
        "disableAlarmRingingSwitch",
        "ignoreSensorProblemStatus"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Startup Warning

If the options array is not empty, a warning is displayed upon every startup. This warning cannot be disabled.

Leaving options as an empty array ([]) keeps all functionality enabled and avoids the startup warning.
