Texecom ricochet #7

Closed nathsea closed 4 years ago

nathsea commented 5 years ago

Hi , great plugin. I have a texecom ricochet alarm which uses the wireless sensors.
I have installed the plugin over ip with smartcom on port 1 and com ip on port 2 and the canines the settings on port 2 to Crestron. When I open my front door the logs say data received from texecom (or similar) but nothing happens on my device. Is it due to the wireless ?

Cheers Nath

interesting! Do you mean you have a Smartcom and a COM-IP, or is this just a feature of the Smartcom that it has two COM ports?

max-christian commented 5 years ago

P.S. No, it’s not the wireless.

nathsea commented 5 years ago

Yeah when you install the smartcom you also connect the com-ip to the second port. I was just playing around and it seemed to do something ... 😂

Was a solution ever found for this? I have encountered the exact same problem.

My setup is using a new texecom panel with ricochet sensors and connecting using a SmartCom.

Port one is programmed as SmartCom Port two is programmed as Crestron

The smart com has two connectors, one for the SmartCom and one for ComIP.

The homebridge log shows sensors being triggered by data received but nothing is updated in the Home app.

Changing port one to Creston doesn’t fix it and that also breaks the Texecom IOS App

Cheers, Tom

If memory serves, someone has said that following the COM-IP setup instructions worked on a SmartCom. Can you give it a try and feed back?

Edit: Sorry, sounds like you’ve tried that already.

Ive managed to get it working! Not sure which of the below steps got it working, I would have to experiment when I have more time.

1) Updated to your branch (max-christian) 2) I unplugged the two com ports in the panel and swapped them around so port 1 is now configured as Crestron and port 2 is configured as SmartCom 3) Time mismatch - The panel had the wrong date and the Pi running homebridge was set to the wrong time zone.

After a reboot the plugin is now working flawlessly

This is a great update. Do you still get the updates on your phone from the texecom app as well ?

nathsea commented 4 years ago

@tomhanley93 thanks for your suggestion i swapped around the connections and that works now, after downloading and installing @max-christian fork (thanks for the help on the other thread) should it be showing when the alarm is set at home now? It shows something in the logs but i dont appear to get an update on my phone? Thanks all!!
