I currently use a Visonic receiver to trigger an input zone response when the disarm button is pressed on a keyfob. The response uses AutoArm to Security Off.

What I would like to do is use additional keyfobs/zones so I can tell who has disarmed the system, with a response something like:-

Login As User x
Keyarm Security Off

Is this possible?

You cannot mimic a login by a user in this way
However if you use different keyfobs connected to different inputs for each user, the event log should be able to tell you which user disarmed or armed by  the zone number

Thanks.

I have Comfort connected to my HomeSeer system which keeps track of how the system is armed/disarmed. At present, I get 'Keypad' or 'AutoArm' has armed the system and then either a user number (if the keypad is used to disarm), or 'AutoArm' has disarmed the system (if the keyfob is used).

I was after a way to have different users reported to the HomeSeer system (via UCM), so different actions can be taken according to who disarms the alarm (e.g. send an email to mum and dad when daughter get home from school).

If you are using Homeseer with comfort it is probably reading the rs232 messages from Comfort
You assign the zones to a user directly, but Home seer should be able to know which zone is activated corresponding to the user number, so that can be interpreted as the user who disarmed when it occurs just before the system is armed or disarmed
