Issues with sensors and keypad presses

travisrroy commented 1 year ago

Hello Alain! Thanks for creating this project to help us smartify our older alarm systems.

I'm having some odd issues with my setup that I haven't been able to figure out. I've read through many of the other issues people have had and still haven't been able to figure it out. I've tried to attach as much information and logs about my system as possible. Don't mind the Telco Fault, I had the system disconnected at this time to hopefully prevent a false alarm. I'm sure my issues are just a mistake (or mistakes) I've made trying to set this up.

System

Monitored by ADT through POTS
System: Vista 20p
Version: 9.18 D1 (I think)
Model: SAVS20P5

Devices

6150RF (Address 16. With 4 wireless contact sensors and 1 motion sensor, Zones 9-12 and 13)
6160 (Address 17)
MH ET LIVE ESP32DevKIT running this project (Address 18)

Sensor Issue

When a door is opened, there are a lot of hex messages that come through, but it doesn't set the text sensor status to O. This was working at some point, but I managed to break it while trying to get keypad presses to work.

Things I've Tried

Enabling/Disabling expanderAddr1 and setting to 07
Enabling/Disabling lrrSupervisor. Not sure if this needs to be enabled or not if being monitored by ADT through POTS. Would be nice to know though.
Commenting out unused relay in the lambda

Log

This is the log from when I open the basement door, zone 12.

HA Keypad Issue

When using the keypad in HA, nothing happens with the Vista system. I can see the commands being sent in the logs though. Not even sure where to start with debugging this one. I am using the custom keypad javascript supplied from this project.

From the look of the logs, there is something very weird going with the tx line. Those F6 are send cmds to the panel. Looking at what you are sending, the format is incorrect. From what I see, your esp is sending bad data to the panel continuously. I have no idea what is causing that.

The following bytes are 22 0a 01 02 03 04 01 dd .  22 is the message id, 0a should be the message length but it is incorrect.  It should be 06 , then your 5 keys then the last byte is a checksum. I didnt validate the checksum to see if that is correct.

Honestly, to me it looks like you have 2 different devices sending on address 18?  

Try changing your ESP address to another address.

travisrroy commented 1 year ago

Ah! That's what it was. Enabled address 19 and changed to 19 and now it's working!

I am still unsure about lrrSupervisor. Would you be able to clarify what that is for?

Dilbert66 commented 1 year ago

If you are using a long range radio (IP or GSM) interface and monitored by a central monitoring station , then set it to false. If you don't have this interface, then set it to true and the firmware will emulate one. It enables extra status messages sent from the panel to be captured by the firmware for display.

travisrroy commented 1 year ago

Ok, good to know. thanks!

Would you know how to fix all these values being set to Unknown after an OTA update?

Dilbert66 commented 1 year ago

Try using the "dev" branch. It has been updated to support multi partitions as well as other bug fixes. Please note that the yaml file has changed so you will need to update it with your own config.

travisrroy commented 1 year ago

Ah! That definitely helped. After a couple minutes, it updated all the binary sensors to their proper values.

Although, I did have to make a few changes to the single partition config to get the keypad working. I'm sure you know what needs to be changed for that or would you rather I open a pull request with those changes?
