I got the sensors and everything to work. the time i reported it not working was when the plugin was installed on a ubuntu vm. But moved my config to pi and connected. Now i just gotta figure out how to change the report to Open/Closed instead of devStatOk or open

45

thanks. Iā€™ll need the page before this one. I donā€™t know how the camera picture link is formed.

Here is the main dashboard

Hi All - I have this system! Excited to hear there is a way to work with it in Hass.io.

Iā€™m trying to get things up and running and I canā€™t figure this out.

What exactly goes in this section, in both username and password sections? Iā€™ve tried entering my local Mosquitto server creds,but it fails - I think?

this needs to contain your ADT Pulse login for the portal.adtpulse.com.

@Ben_Ellis
thank you! I see how the image url is placed here.
To pull the image you need to be logged in to the pulse portal. I think itā€™s best to download the image and store it in HomeAssistant to display it inside the UI.
Iā€™ve added it to my todo list.
thanks.

@haruny
Ah! Got it!

How about the other section? Should that be where you enter the MQTT username and password?

Edit: disregard - all working nowā€¦ I think :slight_smile:

Tested when I got home. The alarm_away still doesnt set

52

No problem I will play also. Another thing to note. Arlo does the same thing. Pulls the image and stores it. I also think ring door bell does the same thing

53

I got it all working using MQTT - which is great. I can integrate this into Node-Red and do all kinds of cool automation - AWESOME! Thank you @haruny! Iā€™m going to share this great addon on reddit, with other folks who were hoping to find a way to integrate this ADT system type with their HA systems.

The only thing I canā€™t figrue out is how to make sensors from my sensors (doors/windows/etc) and then how to have them show up on the default dashboard?

I tried adding some bits of the text above and in the howto and I keep receving errors.

I have this in my configuration.yaml

alarm_control_panel:
  - platform: mqtt
    name: "ADT Pulse"
    state_topic: "home/alarm/state"
    command_topic: "home/alarm/cmd"
    payload_arm_home: "arm_home"
    payload_arm_away: "arm_away"
    payload_disarm: "disarm"

But where in Hass.io can I use this?

I tried adding the sensors, but they give me configuration errors, whether I put the in configuration.yaml or binary_sensor.yaml

  - platform: mqtt
    name: ā€œGarage Doorā€
    state_topic: ā€œadt/zone/Garage Door/stateā€
    payload_on: ā€œOpenā€
    payload_off: ā€œOKā€
    retain: true
    value_template: ā€˜{{ value_json.status }}ā€™

Thanks for all the help!

Configure them as binary sensors following the example below. Replace YOUR_SENSOR_NAME with the exact name that ADT Pulse has associated with that zone/sensor. Change the device_class as appropriate for each zone/sensor.

Per @harunyā€™s instructions in an earlier post, you can get a dump of the zone/sensor data including names:

After running the add-on, to list all the zones found, you can call:

# mosquitto_sub -h YOUR_MQTT_IP -v -t "adt/zone/#"

Follow this example

- platform: mqtt
      name: "Z1 Entry Doors"
      device_class: door
      state_topic: "adt/zone/YOUR_SENSOR_NAME/state"
      payload_on: "devStatOpen"
      payload_off: "devStatOK"
      value_template: '{{ value_json.status }}'

Then just add the calls the binary_sensor in your dashboard.

55

Interesting - everything starts up fine and Iā€™m subā€™ed to the topic, but nothing prints out.

I can issue MQTT commands to arm/disarm/etc - but I donā€™t get a listing on that topic when starting the addon.

Any ideas?

56

Where do I place this? Everywhere I try I get an error.

57

In configuration.yaml under the heading for binary_sensor.

binary_sensor:
  - platform: mqtt
        name: "Z1 Entry Doors"
        device_class: door
        state_topic: "adt/zone/YOUR_SENSOR_NAME/state"
        payload_on: "devStatOpen"
        payload_off: "devStatOK"
        value_template: '{{ value_json.status }}'

Or if you break out your binary_sensor section to its own yaml file (like below), then youā€™d just place it in the binary_sensor.yaml.

binary_sensor: !include binary_sensor.yaml

58

Are you calling the command quoted above? Itā€™s a command line command. So you need to SSH to your Hass.io instance and execute the command. The addon doesnā€™t print out the listing. Thatā€™s totally separate.

59

Yep! I know how to use MQTT and Iā€™m typing the command within the console.

Similar to subscribing to home/alarm/cmd and I can see all my commands when I issue them.

60

I try to add this to binary_sensor.yaml, but then I receive an error on config check

Configuration invalid
Error loading /config/configuration.yaml: mapping values are not allowed here
  in "/config/binary_sensor.yaml", line 93, column 13

Here is the config.

  - platform: mqtt
        name: "Z1 Entry Doors"
        device_class: door
        state_topic: "adt/zone/Garage Door/state"
        payload_on: "devStatOpen"
        payload_off: "devStatOK"
        value_template: '{{ value_json.status }}'

Sorry, that wasnā€™t clear from your question. I donā€™t know what to tell you. This is what I run and my results.

What happens when you run the following. Do you get the output for all your MQTT devices?

mosquitto_sub -h YOUR_MQTT_IP -v -t "#"
