Hi Joe,
BTW, I agree that the NAPCO stuff IS complicated :-).

ECS (per the NAPCO protocol) allows you to set a
given "area" to any of the following:
	Arm
	Burglar
	Aux
	Fire
	Reset

I don't know exactly what these states mean
(I assume you do), but you would monitor/control
an area via a SECURITY-AREA-C Item(s).


Regarding the motion detection, I can only suggest
the "empirical approach": 
1) Create an Event like the one below.
2) Trigger motion.
3) The RTS status triggered by the motion should
   then be displayed/logged. You will then know
   what State to look for in your Event.

|Event:	RTS Monitor			Called ?:No
|	If	Security-RTS-C		Is Not		Idle
|	Then	Text-A			T1<-N/S		Security-RTS-C
|	Then	Text-A			Set		Log
|	End
