I envy your ability. This status page is perfect. I'm going to spend some more time combing through the Tasker profile routines to learn how to parse needed term, create a variable, and trigger the arm/disarm context.
Another train of thought... Right now the ESP portal (both web and mobile) have a simple toggle for arm/disarm. Obviously, with the direct access to the board, it is possible to send a uniquely different strings for arming and disarming. Can that be integrated into the portal? If so, then I could create two different HTTP POST actions in Tasker - and would not need to toggle a variable on the phone. Just an idea... Regardless, I'll pursue the concise status page path for now.

Re: Android/Tasker arming
Just thought I'd post an update on my Android auto-arming routine with Tasker...
By being able to enter the unique short strings to arm and disarm the IP100D directly (without the portal), it negated the need to parse the current alarm status. Since trying to arm the system when it is already armed does nothing (no error, no sounds, etc), there is no harm in sending duplicate arm commands. Same is true with the disarm.
So my criteria for Tasker is as follows:
Profile: Auto arm
Context: When wifi with my SSID DISCONNECTS available
Entry task:
1) Wait until mobile data is available (required since Wifi just dropped) - this also addresses the issue of no data connectivity when on the phone (Sprint USA)...
2) Say "Arming house in 10 seconds"
3) Send HTTP GET (sends arming command directly to IP100D board)
Exit task: (when my SSID is reconnected)
1) Say "Disarming house now"
2) Send HTTP GET command to disarm
I've also added a routine that monitors my Google calendar for the title "ARM". Thus, by adding a repeating calendar event (i.e. from 10P to 7A, title: ARM house, repeating daily), the when Tasker sees the even, it initiates the same arming/disarming tasks. I then configure tasker to arm every hour while the calendar even is active. This way, if either I or the wife lets the animals out at night, and we forget to arm, it'll rearm within an hour.
Everything is working perfectly. As I leave my driveway, before I make it to the end of the street, my phone announces that my home is arming. When I come home at the end of the day, as I pull into the driveway, it announced the house is disarmed. No false alarms.
I went one step further and bought 30 of the EV-DW4975 wireless sensors (got them for $20/each, free shipping) from eBay, and installed them on all windows and doors. Now, with the DSC Alarm Monitor app, I can see LIVE which doors and windows are open, and how long ago they closed. There is about a 3 second delay between door opening and the phone reporting it.
Nothing better than knowing if the garage door is closed - or if the lawn guys closed the gate - all from work/school!
FWIW, since the IP100D does not have SMS or email capability, and the DSC Alarm Monitor does not alert when there is an alarm, I am still 100% dependent on the ESP system generating emails to get my attention that the alarm has tripped.

Re: Android/Tasker arming
hello
I'm trying to create a task with tasker and autovoice and the truth is that I could not get them to turn on or off my alarm.
I have read that I should separate the data that are sent via http post, but I could not do before. I have the following questions:
1 -. Which method should I use http post or http get
. 2 - That I must write to server: port
3 -. Should I write in route
4 -. Should I write data / file
Thanks in advance

Re: Android/Tasker arming
Does anybody know how I can use tasker to control an Ademco panel using the evl3 board ?
Re: Android/Tasker arming
Is there a similar app or function for iOS?
Re: Android/Tasker arming
Hi
the http get with hash stopped working for a few weeks
Has anything changed?
thanks in advance.

Re: Android/Tasker arming
just so you are also aware, i have a smartthings, tasker, and sharptools for automation of my system. sharptools is designed to integrate with dsc alarm and smartthings. most of my automation is done via smartthings now though as my cell wasn't as reliable as i needed.
Re: Android/Tasker arming
Any plan to get the http get with hash working again?
