I have AHP and the OnAlert plugin as well as MyHouse online service. How can one arm the security system over the internet? Is a macro needed? Is a firecracker needed?

heatvent: Here is a sample macro for arming your system over the internet. Don't forget to register this with the PS561. In case your not aware, you cannot arm OnAlert via a macro... only the PS561.
Re: Disarming via a macro? Where are the macro commands to do this? (http://www.x10community.com/forums/index.php?topic=10208.msg65343#msg65343)

Has anyone come up with a way to arm OnAlert from the Internet? Surely there must be some way to simulate the RF arming signal from a remote (SH624) or keyring (KR10A). Do we have to resort to an appliance module triggering the SH624 rocker arm? Wait a minute, maybe I answered my own question!

I just modified a KR10A (Security Keychain) to allow OnAlert arming on the internet. You just solder two wires across the arm switch inside the case and attach the ends of the wires to a Universal Module set on momentary operation and isolated contact relay. A click on the assigned appliance module turns on OnAlert and the Red House armed symbol will magically appear! Of course the warranty on the KR10A is kaput, but it's a cheap item if you had bought the 4-pack.

THANK YOU JMac. I've been following this thread waiting for someone to come up with something.

I just looked again and some one had done this very thing about a year or two before me. Should have done a little more searching. Newbies are still with us......

Start here: Here's what I've done to arm via macro (http://www.x10community.com/forums/index.php?topic=12725.0)
Then use MyHouse plug in, and momentarily turn on your phantom module, until you see the macro run, turn it off and Voila!

Of course this will only arm remotely, I haven't quite figured out how to disarm remotely....yet...

Wouldn't JMac's post (http://www.x10community.com/forums/index.php?topic=11541.msg67303#msg67303) also work for disarming... say if the KR10A was set as a camera, then "hot-wired" as disarm?

Nice work, "MeThinks". A bit cheaper than a Universal/KR10A hybrid. I think I went this way because I was getting so many shutdowns of AHP that I installed RealVNC and gave up on creating macros. Glad yours works ! It's true, you could use the Universal/KR10A to disarm though...............

MeThinks:
Again, Nice!
It is realy amazing what a Phantom module can be made to do! ;) :D

Don't get me wrong guys, I LOVE the hybrid idea! I actually wanted to do it to a SH624 so that I would be able to have the delay entry feature available only with the SH624 ---(Side note--- why doesn't the KR10A have a delay entry feature, seems a little silly....)
But I also did not want to venture into this realm quite yet, I only have one remote, don't wanna screw it up :)
The above posted idea of mine(w/collaboration) was a quick-easy-no-solder idea....for now.
