Hi Mara,
The Getting Started page (https://community.zymbit.com/t/getting-started-zymkey4i-with-raspberry-pi/202 has the detailed steps on it for review.
You do not need to do Step 12 before cutting the tab. In fact, you want to do it after. You get one time to set_perimeter_event_actions after cutting the tab. One and only one. You cannot change the settings after that.
There is also no way to read the settings back.
The flow is:
- Set perimeter actions to None or Notify
- Power down.
- Cut the lock tab.
- Close circuits and case
- Power up
- Clear perimeter events
- Check perimeter events to make sure no events
- Arm your system by setting to desired Action: Notify or Self-Destruct.
The Action is now permanent. The Action cannot be changed again.
