ParadoxMqtt32
This project uses an ESP32 to read the events of the serial bus on Paradox alarm systems and send them to an MQTT server
Making a connection
Connect the panel:-Connect Alarm system serial to ESP32 using RX2/TX2 of ESP32
Arduino IDE settings
Set the Hassio flag to 1 for Home assistant, and check out the wiki (Home Assistant in V2)
The 37 byte message is broken down into a json message with "Event Group" and "Sub-group", and one more dummy attribute which is the zone/partition label.
See the wiki for more info on Groups and Sub-groups
After flashing the ESP board, connect to it's Wi-Fi (paradox32CTL password: configParadox32), open the 192.168.4.1 IP address in your browser, input your Wi-Fi credentials and MQTT server address. That's all.
MQTT Topics
| Topic | Notes |
|---|---|
| paradox32CTL/out | All alarm event messages |
| paradox32CTL/status | The program messages |
| paradox32CTL/status/ACFailure | ACFailure if true there is a ACFailure |
| paradox32CTL/in | Input topic |
HomeAssistant MQTT Topics
| Topic | Notes |
|---|---|
| paradox32CTL/hassio/y/zoneX | Where x is zone number from 1-32 |
| paradox32CTL/hassio/y/zoneX | Gives values ON/OFF |
| paradox32CTL/hassio/Arm/y | Gives values: disarmed, armed_home, armed_away, triggered |
y is the partition always 0 in single partition systems
Sending commands
The command payloads are in JSON. Template:
{
"password":"1234",
"Command":"arm",
"Subcommand":"0"
}
The password is the user's 4/6 digit password.set USE6DigitCode true in main.h file
A command can be any of the following:
- arm
- disarm
- sleep
- stay
- bypass
- armstate
- panelstatus
- setdate
- PGM_ON
- PGM_OFF
Subcommands depending on the main command
| Main Command | Subcommand |
|---|---|
| arm,sleep,disarm | 0-1 partition |
| bypass | 0-31 zone number -1 |
| panelstatus | '0' panel data |
| panelstatus | '1' Partition state & zone status |
