Something like :
Code: [Select]
When.ModuleParameterChanged( (module, parameter) =>
{
    if (module.Is("Security Alarm System") && parameter.Is("Status.Level") && parameter.Value == "1")
    {
.....
    }
.....
}
1 : armed
0 : not

Or if you just need reading the armed status you can use:

Code: [Select]
var securityAlarm = Modules.WithName("Security Alarm System").Get(); // or Modules.WithAddress("90").Get();
if (securityAlarm.Level > 0)
{
    // System is armed
}
else
{
   // System is disarmed
}

Hi, Gene

Another quick question regarding Alarm:

What type of text / commands can be entered into the "Program to run when armed" in the Alarm Options field?

I would like to receive some form of audio notification on my cellular (using your new HomeGenie Plus Android App - Super cool app!), when the Alarm is switched off, on or triggered.
