I am ~6hrs into a Vera to HA migration. Lots to learn - and I will never make 5 steps to hit a light switch..
This example is exploratory - not the end workflow I am looking for. This is not a logic concern, the issue is I may not be reading attributes on entities correctly.
End Goal -
Dim/control on lights based on alarm states
Environment-
HA running in Virtualbox
MSR running as Addon in HA
Alarm connected to Envisalink EVL 3 card in a DSC alarm panel
Functionality that works
I can arm/disarm the house from the HA dash
I can read attribute status in entity viewer attribute pull down
I have working rule sets for other devices (lutron) on network
Problem-
As I "Arm" the house using a button on the HA Dashboard, I see attributes update in realtime.
In MSR, the attributes are not updating. In the MSR entity viewr, I can see updates were observed much earlier in the day.
I fear I cannot articulate the issue as I am so new to HA. I used Reactor in Vera, but very new to MSR and HA. The attached screenshot will show the side by side dialogs that are not staying in sync.
Thanks in advance for any insight.
