PGM Control

[thcasssio]

Alarm system

SP6000, IP150 V2.X firmware

Environment

HASS.io

Question

Hi, newbie here, I'm trying to setup hass.io with PAI, but I have a few questions.

When I setup it first, it didn't show my PGMs, only the sensors. Is that by design? If so, how do I add a button on hass.io to control my PGMs? Should I use service? If so, what is the code I must put in service?

Another question is how may I get a notification in case of an alarm, for example?

Thanks

Cassio

Hi everyone,

On this topic as well, the IP150 module itself has a PGM as well. I have wired my gate trigger to this and use it to open and close my street gate. Would there we a potential of integrating this or would i have to re-wire back to the PGM output on the panel

Hi. It will be easier and faster to rewire it to the panel. IP150 PGM controlling is not implemented.

Probably PAI does not autodetect PGMs for MG/SP and does not publish these switches to home assistant automatically. How to add a button that sends MQTT messages you need to look into home assistant documentation. In PAI wiki you can find info to what topics and with what payload you need to publish.

Another question is how may I get a notification in case of an alarm, for example?

I use pushover. You can try it as well. There is info in the wiki.

I have re-wired the PGM, but I am still not seeing the control topic being published. Here is my config yaml for the PAI container

For SP/MG PGM autodetection is not implemented.

Control topic should be published by home assistant, not PAI.

You can configure PGMs manually in your home assistant. See wiki https://github.com/ParadoxAlarmInterface/pai/wiki/MQTT-Interface#control for topics.

@jpbarraca Do you want to implement a PGM autodetection for homeassistant?

[Rusti-gotrage]

I would LOVE a PGM autodetection for Home-Assistant! I've only just gotten my HASS config running and am just learning everything from YAML, to Node-Red to MQTT...

I love the PAI HASS add-on - it worked great pretty much out of the box for the alarm areas, and zone detectors... Now I want to be able to use HASS to trigger the relay (PGM5) that triggers the Garage Roller Door...

Being a total n00b with HA, etc... etc... I've got little to no clue how to do this, so any and all assistance greatly appreciated!

For Reference: I'm running a Paradox EVO192 version 4.63 build 2, with an IP150 IP Module version 20, firmware: 5.2 Talking to HASS 0.114.2 on a R-Pi3B using the built in HASS MQTT Broker 5.1 addon.

[warrendt]

I eventually hacked together a MQTT button which works, but it sucks for state and feeding back an open/close state because I don't know enough to get that far

[Rusti-gotrage]

Would love to see your code... I tried using Node-Red to publish MQTT data to the panel....

got this:

2020-08-19 00:50:20,798 - INFO - PAI.paradox.interfaces.mqtt.core - MQTT Broker Connected 2020-08-19 00:59:22,865 - INFO - PAI.paradox.interfaces.mqtt.basic - message topic=paradox/control/outputs/5, payload=on 2020-08-19 00:59:22,903 - ERROR - PAI.paradox.paradox - Got ERROR Message: 29 2020-08-19 00:59:31,101 - INFO - PAI.paradox.hardware.evo.panel - PGM command: "on" failed 2020-08-19 00:59:31,102 - WARNING - PAI.paradox.interfaces.mqtt.basic - Output command refused: 5=on

Back to the drawing board I guess...

@Rusti-gotrage PGM Auto discovery for EVO is implemented in 2.2.0 which is now released. You probably need to upgrade your EVO fw as well. @warrendt Try 2.2.0 if you have EVO.

[warrendt]

I have an MG5050, I'll install as soon as its available as an update on Hassio.

[Rusti-gotrage]

@yozik04 - Sooo excited with the new version!! It DOES pick-up the PGM's automatically now which is great.... 🥇 😀

BUT.... 😭

I suspect this may have something to do with the Alarm Panel Firmware.

Unfortunately - I'm unable to source NEW Firmware and Paradox are EXCEPTIONALLY UN-HELPFUL!! 😠 They said - talk to your distributor.

The distributor the parts came from, because I'm not an installer and (more importantly I suspect) I don't have an account with them, won't deal with me. 😡 So despite the fact that I installed the damn thing and programmed it myself, and I USED to BE an alarm technician, because I didn't by the parts DIRECTLY from them, they won't deal with me! 😢

If someone has the latest firmware for an EVO192 that they can sling me in a dropbox or similar - I'd greatly appreciate it!

On a separate note - I'm somewhat comforted that it's the same error I was getting myself and the MQTT publish command is the same as the one I was using... it gives me hope that I'm not a complete n00b!! 😃

@Rusti-gotrage Come to gitter to discuss your options.

[chinezbrun]

Hi guys, any solution on this? I need to control PGM's from Home Assistant and really i do not understand how. I have MG5050.

[warrendt]

Hi guys, any solution on this? I need to control PGM's from Home Assistant and really i do not understand how. I have MG5050.

Version 2.2.1 picks it automatically and adds it to home assistant via MQTT.

[Rusti-gotrage]

Hi guys, any solution on this? I need to control PGM's from Home Assistant and really i do not understand how. I have MG5050.

just make sure your running as close to the latest firmware on your panel that you can... and your IP150

[yozik04]

@chinezbrun For MG5050 I think there is no PGM autodetection yet. Even in 2.2.1. Ask @jpbarraca =)

[chinezbrun]

thanks. I did it manually based on MQTT wiki. Pity that PGM auto detection is not yet implemented.

[jpbarraca]

It will be very soon, just not today :D

[jpbarraca]

Is this fixed?

[chinezbrun]

Is this fixed?

PGM autodetection works on MG5050, thanks!

[lucdiniz]

Is this fixed?

I confirm it auto-detects on MG5050. Thanks @jpbarraca
