I've used the Save to event log action in a response which works as described, i.e. logs "custom event" plus the numeric parameter I supply... this is 'workable' after a fashion, since I only want (at the moment) to log a limited number of non-security events to the log...
but, looking in the eventlog.cfgx file, the very first entry is specifically what I would like to record... - "zone activation" - is there any way of forcing that event to be logged? right now, I want to get one particular PIR activation to be logged in all non-armed security modes as I want to monitor access to a particular area.
I guess I could edit the eventlog.cfgx file & change the text string for event type 34 from "custom Event" to "Zone activation" - but how to pass the correct zone number as the parameter?
I'd much rather have an additional option in the zone configuration settings in Comfigurator... much as there is an option currently for "Announce zone" an option to "Log zone" would be perfect - any chance of this happening? - I know it has been stated in other posts on this topic that the event log is primarily for security events rather than automation, but surely even in non-armed modes it could be considered a security event to monitor access to certain areas of a premises?
Alternatively, can we have a save to event log action where the parameter is one of the 34 event types listed in the file? - thus the current custom event method would need to change to have 2 parameters, - the first being "34" (custom event type) and the second being the users custom parameter number...
The ability to use "Send to event log 0" in a zone on response and have that appear in the log as "Zone activation Storeroom PIR" for instance, would satisfy my needs...
