With new version of hardware in fabrication, I have turned back to
software side of gateway. I have made significant improvements in zone
thread and also improved the alarm event thread (AET). It stays, that it
can handle 3 simultaneous alarm events at once. That is the software is
able to wait for authentication when you enter one zone, while setting
alarm for any other two, or any combination. Additional AET can be
added, but 3 should be enough for any normal household or property.
Overflowing event will not be lost, but logged, and if reoccurring it
will trigger AET again. In real scenario your inner house zones will
have authentication time set to 0 seconds, and they will be properly
handled by AET in no-time. Only time the AET will overflow is when your
local SWAT team enter your house by every window at once. Still it will
set alarm On and notify you and you neighbours :).
