Telldus LUA-script for Fibaro smoke sensor tampering

As I’m renting out part of my house, it’s important for me to know if anyone tries to tamper with the smoke-alarms. Fibaro smoke sensor has a tamper-switch, but it doesn’t look like Telldus Live supports an event for the tamper yet – or I don’t know how to.

So my goal was to try writing a LUA-script for the first time, and this is the result:

-- File: SmokeSensor.lua
-- Define the names on your devices here:
local smokesensor = "SmokeSensorTest"


local deviceManager = require "telldus.DeviceManager"

function onZwaveMessageReceived(device, flags, cmdClass, cmd, data)
	if device:name() ~= smokesensor then
		return
	end


	if (cmd == 5 and cmdClass == 113) then

		if list.len(data) < 7 then
			return
		end


		-- data[4] is the notification type
		-- data[5] is the status.

		-- Notification type 7 is "Home Security"
		-- Status for notification type 7:
		-- 0: Event inactive
		-- 3: Tampering, Product covering removed



		local notification_type = data[4]
		local status = data[5]



		-- print("Device: %s", smokesensor)
		print("Device: %s. Flags: %s. cmdClass: %s. cmd: %s. Data: %s", device, flags, cmdClass, cmd, data)
		print("Notification type: %s. Status: %s", notification_type, status)


		if (notification_type == 7) then
			if (status == 0) then
				print("Event inactive")
			elseif (status == 3) then
				print("Tampering, Product covering removed")
			end
		end

	end
end

I don’t have any documentation for the data-parameters, so I’m not sure how stable this script is yet. Please see this forum thread for any updates: http://forum.telldus.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=6436. I’ll try to update this article also, if I change anything.

I’m not sure how to report which smoke sensor has been tampered with. The only way I see right now, is to create a dummy device for each smoke sensor, and an event for each dummy device. Maybe I’ll split up my home i zones or apartment to prevent having to many devices and events. It would be great if Telldus would allow triggering event or URL directly from the LUA-script.
