Walkthrough for creating a plugin

The plugin which will be used as an example for this walkthrough is the Elk Alarm Panel Plugin. This plugin has 8 files:

• D_ElkAlarmPanel1.xml
• D_ElkAlarmPanel1.json

These files are for the panel itself.

• D_ElkAlarmPartition1.xml
• D_ElkAlarmPartition1.json

These files are for the partitions.

• I_ElkAlarmPanel1.xml
• L_ElkAlarmPanel1.lua

These are the implementation files, which are used for both the panel and the partitions.

• S_ElkAlarmPanel1.xml

The are the service description files for the panel and the partitions.
