Only standard mode with new release

[rafa67]

Hi I was using this component without any issue for a long time. My previous version 0.3.5.3 was working in powerlink mode without any issue. This is the information of the panel entity with this version: _code_format: null changed_by: null code_arm_required: true PluginVersion: 0.3.5.3 Comm Exception Count: 0 Mode: Powerlink Watchdog Timeout: 0 Download Timeout: 0 Panel Last Event: Exit Installer / System Panel Alarm Status: None Panel Trouble Status: None Panel Siren Active: No Panel Status: Disarmed Panel Status Code: 0 Panel Ready: Yes Panel Alert In Memory: No Panel Trouble: No Panel Bypass: No Panel Status Changed: No Panel Alarm Event: No Panel Armed: No Power Master: No Model: PowerMax Pro Part Model Type: 87 Panel Name: Unknown Set Voice Option: Enable Voice Auto Arm Option: Disable Auto Arm Time: 12:00 Squawk Option: Disable Time Format: Europe - 24H Date Format: Europe DD/MM/YYYY Entry Delay 1: 15 Seconds Entry Delay 2: 15 Seconds Exit Delay: 60 Seconds Bell Time: 1 Minute Abort Time: None Alarm Cancel Time: 5 Minutes Quick Arm: Off Bypass: No Bypass Exit Mode: Normal Piezo Beeps: Disable Trouble Beeps: Disable Panic Alarm: Audible Panic Swinger Stop: After 1 Time Cross Zoning: Off Supevision Interval: 12 Hours Not Ready: Normal Auxiliary Keyfob Button function 1: System Status Auxiliary Keyfob Button function 2: System Status Jamming Detection: Disable Latchkey Arming: Off No Activity Time: Disable Back Light Time: Off After 10 Seconds Duress: 2580 Piezo Siren: Off Reset Option: User Reset Tamper Option: Off Siren On Line: Disable on Fail Memory Prompt: Enable Disarm Option: Any Time Bell Report Option: Others Low Battery Acknowledge: Off Screen Saver: Off Confirm Alarm Timer: 60 Minutes AC Failure Report: 5 Minutes User Permit: Disable Autotest Time: 12:00 Autotest Cycle: Disable 1st Central Station (CNTR) Tel.

I have tried to update the component to the 0.4.2.0 version and it seems that is only possible to connect in standard mode. I tried the full restart sequence for powerlink without success. The panel is PowerMax Pro Part type 87.

In the following link you can find the log file with the result for the 0.4.2.0 version. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wPqt9flh1YFrt8xEUpiKZdvCuFmf3KCv/view?usp=sharing

Can you verify is there are something wrong? Thank you very much for your suport

Your panel is sending out the same message over and over again, this happens when you bombard your panel with home assistant restarts in a row. I believe that the panel sees this as an attack and resists any kind of connection. The best thing to do in this situation is to leave it for 30 to 60 minutes and try again. Either stop home assistant or disable/delete the visonic integration.

EDIT: After I wrote that something occured to me, in your configuration you have

  force_standard: no

you need to add quotes on all values, similar to this

  force_standard: 'no'

Change all boolean configuration.yaml values from yes and no to 'yes' and 'no' Do not put quotes around integer values. This is in the configuration section of the new wiki so it is documented https://github.com/davesmeghead/visonic/wiki#the-configurationyaml-file

It's an update that I had to do to make the parameters import when using the new HA integrations page to make the configuration schema the same.

I stopped home assistant for more than one hour and I restarted with the same behaviour. This is my configuration that works perfectly with the 0.3.5.3 version

_visonic: device: type: ethernet host: '192.168.1.52' port: 23 motion_off: 120 language: 'EN' force_standard: 'no' sync_time: 'yes' allow_remote_arm: 'yes' allow_remote_disarm: 'yes' override_code: '0942' arm_withoutusercode: 'no'

Is it ok?

Hi, Are you running the latest home assistant? version 0.110.1

Your panel gets to the point of sending its status and then just keeps sending the same message over and over again, I don't know why.

Also, the component is reading in the parameters from the configuration.yaml incorrectly and I'm not sure why. You can try 2 things, first replace your parameter set with mine

visonic:
  device:
    type: ethernet
    host: '192.168.1.52'
    port: 23
  motion_off: 60
  language: 'EN'
  force_standard: 'no'
  sync_time: 'yes'
  allow_sensor_bypass: 'yes'
  exclude_x10: '0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15'
#  exclude_sensor: '2,3'
  allow_remote_arm: 'yes'
  allow_remote_disarm: 'yes'
  b0_enable_motion_processing: 'no'
  b0_min_time_between_triggers: 30
  b0_max_time_for_trigger_event: 5
  panellog_logentry_event: 'yes'
  panellog_csv_add_title_row: 'yes'
  panellog_xml_filename: 'panel_log.xml'
  panellog_csv_filename: 'panel_log.csv'
  panellog_complete_event: 'yes'
  panellog_reverse_order: 'yes'
  panellog_max_entries: 10
  siren_sounding: ["intruder", "panic"]

Make sure there's no integration loaded in home assistant. In the frontend integrations page, select the 3 vertical dots and delete the integration (it it's there). Restart home assistant.

Did that work?

If that doesn't work then delete the integration again. This time add it as an integration from within HA, select the big + button (bottom right) and add "visonic intruder alarm" from the list.

Thanks for your help I confirm that I have the latest version 0.110.1 I tried to delete the integration first without changing the configuration and restart. It works!!!
