I'd like to be able to detect when my Enforcer alarm has been armed so that my home automation system can run some tasks. I'm planning on using
a Shelly Plus i4 DC to do the detection. It will be powered by an external 12v plug.

Unfortunately, my installer hasn't had much success and I think entirely conincidentally, the comms board blew when we were experimenting so he didn't want to continue trying without knowing exactly how it should be done.
We have set the PGM output to Any Set.
Am I right in thinking that the voltage between PGM1 and COM on the I/O board should go to 12v when the alarm is armed, and 0v when disarmed? I think when we tested this, we saw voltage increase only very slightly (less than a volt) but I could be mistaken as we were trying lots of different things.
If this is the case, would we wire PGM1 to the Shelly SW1, COM to the Shelly ground. The external power supply would be wired to the Shelly's + and ground terminals.
From looking at the instructions, there doesn't appear to be a way of discerning if an alarm is armed in normal or night mode but can someone confirm this?
Thanks for any help
