What is my panel ID?

[roinou]

Thank you for this nice project. I managed to connect to my IP150 version 20, firmware: 4.42 and my EVO192 version 3.20 build 10. I changed the config according to the wiki and I get HomeAssistant to display states of my sensors, it's working OK so far.

Now, I think my EVO firmware is a bit old, so I asked my provider to upgrade it, but I forgot to disconnect PAI, so they know I've been fideling with the system and they are a bit reluctant to do so.

Therefore, I try to connect using Babyware, but fail doing so. It's ok all the way to the panel connection which fails because of wrong panel ID. I tried 0000, 0, 0001 and all sorts of combination, without success. It is worth noting that the panel password wasn't default 0000 but something else that I luckily guessed, meaning my provider changed the default value.

Question: as PAI manages to connected to the panel, can it give me the panel ID that is being used?

Hi @roinou, enable IP Interface in config, connect with Babyware via PAI (port 10000). Then in Babyware you will probably find panel id. =)

[roinou]

I tried many things, but it won't work. I get some unknown messages in PAI debug, and in the end Babyware fails because of too many retries. I guess my firmware is too old, so there are some things that you guys missed. Can't blame you, I can only blame my installer for not upgrading the firmwares.

Can you edit code? Add

logger.debug('panel_id: %d', reply.fields.value.panel_id)

Before this line: https://github.com/ParadoxAlarmInterface/pai/blob/7ede0bc94d74ee1d62037e53390c5bd9ff101300/paradox/paradox.py#L148

It will be in decimal. Convert it to hex and you will get the right panel_id

[roinou]

I works!! Converting to HEX gave we the correct Panel ID, I can now fully connect in Babyware.

Thanks a lot for the support, I believe this can be a useful debug for the rest of us.

Hi, I have an issue and maybe someone is able to help: I messed up something with Babyware and I now have the Panel ID different from the default ... but I don't know it. I know the password but not the Panel ID. Do you know how I can reset it / change it / or find which one is?

[yozik04]

Check you'r panel's manual and find it via installation mode using your keypad. Or run PAI in debug mode with dumping messages. It logs it in one of the initial packets.

[idtazio]

Thanks ... I am not familiar with PAI. What do I need to run it in debug mode?

[yozik04]

Use the keypad then :) To get familiar with PAI read the wiki.

[idtazio]

Thanks, I will check the Keypad manual to see if it is possible to change the Panel ID. Not sure because the Keypad is only numeric

[idtazio]

Done :):) I was able to change it through the Keypad. Thank you for the suggestion :)

[yozik04]

@Thodpaz your installer should know.

[Thodpaz]

@Thodpaz your installer should know.

my installer has die before a year and nobody knows

[yozik04]

I remember somebody has created a brute force tool for it. Try to find... Maybe he/she will share. Password is just 4 digits. Try 0000 or None at first.

[Thodpaz]

i try both and nothing... do you remember any element to help about brute force tool??

[yozik04]

Probably somebody mentioned in gitter.
