Will the plug-in let me arm the console as "home" (as apposed to away)

Yes.  You need to install an SH624 remote in your security console and in active home.  You can then write a macro that will arm the system in either Home or Away mode, with or without the delay.

How do you identify the trigger?  I have the remote control installed but see nothing to add to macro in the room with remote, control, PS561, etc.

Thanks.

In macro window, at the top just to the right of the house/unit code black box is a button that says "Use Security". Click on that and you should see the options come up. Under trigger is a dropdown list of the units you have registered for that room.

When I'm online you can find me in the Home Automation Chat Room!

Thanks, for some reason I guess it didn't install correctly.  I took everything out and put them back and now functional.

As far as I know this is a bug in the system (that there is no fix for in the works) , and that is why I ended up assembling a Keychain remote/Universal module hybrid that would arm OnAlert.  As an aside, I also ended up with having to use RealVNC to control my camera remotely, but that's a whole other story.

But AHP doesn't "talk" to or through the SH624 remote to arm the console, it has to "talk" directly to the console itself, but doesn't get any feedback as to whether or not the system is armed.  Therefore, trying to use the Home or Away mode, with or without delay, doesn't really work.  If it does someone please tell me how...I would really like to know!

AHP does send the correct signal to arm, it learned the codes needed when you installed the remote.  It then sends the signal.  No there isn't any feedback to the AHP.  It does cause the alarm console to double beep as if I had pushed the button, but AHP pushed it for me ...
