Outside PIR Help?

Hmm and this is what's puzzling as I have 2 VDoors

Check out your doors. You may have specified the 'Door opens out from' and 'The Door opens into' Rooms correctly.
This information tells Cortex the routing information between rooms.
But you may have missed the 'Door state to rooms and Alarm' connection which typically will also need to state both rooms.
This output connection from the door informs the room about any change of state etc even though its not a real door.
If you run the Analyse database and network design you may get a message something like...
Front Porch VDoor1 State is not reported to Front Porch.

Visit the Door behaviour menu. Click help button. Click Door Connections.

Thanks Viv, I think that was it - for the external connecting doors, because the This is an external door... checkbox is at the top, I had the top Door opens out from bit blank and filled the Door opens into box filled for those instances.

But indeed checking the help it quite distinctly says to do it the other way round.

I wonder if it's possible (or is this even correct to do so), that when one clicks the external door checkbox, the particular fill in box, goes grey preventing someone from entering data in there?

I do not think correct. My front door is recorded as an external door. But it has hall on one side and Porch on the other. I want it to evaluate House, Alarm etc when this door is closed.

OH yeah of course, I'd forgotten about that.
