Incorrect model and sensor type

[rogerthn2019]

Let's start with THANKS!

I've my old Powermax Pro connected to an Asus Tinker Board S running DietPi v8.21.1 (bookworm). My Home Assistant Core 2023.8.1 is running on Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.4 (bullseye). The DietPi have ser2net running and Visonic Intruder Alarm is added OK, but? Added devices can be seen below. Z01 and Z02 are both MCT-302, the Sensor type for Z02 says Motion while Z01 says Magnet. Z03, Z04 and Z05 are all Next K9-85. Smoke detector Z06 is OK.

Any hints?

Hi, Thanks for the info. You have 2 choices ....

1. Set your logger settings to debug as per the wiki here and post the sensor settings from the log file, here are my settings as an example

   [Process Settings] Processing settings - panel code index 0447
   [Process Settings]      Z01 :  VisonicSensorRef=0XE4   zoneInfo=0XC   ZTypeName=Interior   Chime=Off   SensorType=motion   zoneName=Kitchen
   [Process Settings]      Z02 :  VisonicSensorRef=0XE4   zoneInfo=0XC   ZTypeName=Interior   Chime=Off   SensorType=motion   zoneName=Living room
   [Process Settings]      Z03 :  VisonicSensorRef=0XD3   zoneInfo=0XC   ZTypeName=Interior   Chime=Off   SensorType=motion   zoneName=Upstairs
   [Process Settings]      Z04 :  VisonicSensorRef=0X95   zoneInfo=0X7   ZTypeName=Perimeter   Chime=Off   SensorType=magnet   zoneName=Kitchen
   [Process Settings]      Z05 :  VisonicSensorRef=0X96   zoneInfo=0X7   ZTypeName=Perimeter   Chime=Off   SensorType=magnet   zoneName=Conservatory
   [Process Settings]      Z06 :  VisonicSensorRef=0X96   zoneInfo=0X7   ZTypeName=Perimeter   Chime=Off   SensorType=magnet   zoneName=Garage
   [Process Settings]      Z07 :  VisonicSensorRef=0X96   zoneInfo=0X7   ZTypeName=Perimeter   Chime=Off   SensorType=magnet   zoneName=Bathroom
   [Process Settings]      Z29 :  VisonicSensorRef=0XFF   zoneInfo=0X14   ZTypeName=Delay 1   Chime=Melody   SensorType=wired   zoneName=Hall

   By doing this you give me the chance to look further in to this and perhaps fix it for other users.

2. Override the settings in HA that I have set. You can do this as per this issue. As well as overriding the friendly_name you can set the device type and other parameters. You may be ably to do this in the HA UI now as well. The info you would need is here.

My preference is option 1 as I may be able to recognise unknown sensors (Z03, Z04, Z05) so other users can benefit but it's up to you. I could also look at the settings where there's a possible conflict (Z02).

Option 1 selected ;-) grep 'Process Settings' home-assistant.log | awk -F "pyvisonic] " '{print $2}'

PS Z02 has been replaced and is hence a later MCT-302 version.

If you're able to grab the files from Github I've just done a minor update to include your sensors, they should be correct but if not then let me know.

Thanks, will try later today.

Looks fine 👍 grep 'Process Settings' home-assistant.log | awk -F "pyvisonic] " '{print $2}'

Still in "test mode" ;-)
