Hey everyone,
I've been using the excellent ajax-security-hass HACS integration by foXaCe for a while, and like many of you I hit the same wall — Ajax doesn't expose a local API, so you're dependent on their cloud, and the integration requires direct Ajax Enterprise API credentials which most end users can't get.
I built Ajax Connect to solve this. It's a cloud proxy service that sits between Home Assistant and the Ajax Cloud API, so you don't need your own Ajax Enterprise API key — you just point foXaCe's integration at the proxy URL and go.
How it works
Home Assistant (foXaCe HACS integration — Proxy Mode)
↓ SSE + REST
Ajax Connect Proxy (api.ajaxconnect.app)
↓ Ajax Enterprise API
Ajax Cloud
↓
Your Hub
No changes to foXaCe's integration are needed. If you already have it installed, switch it to Proxy Mode, enter the proxy URL, and your existing Ajax credentials — done.
What you get
• Real-time events when armed — arm/disarm, alarms, and malfunction events delivered via SSE the moment they arrive from Ajax SQS
• Real-time push when disarmed — the proxy polls Ajax once per hub and pushes door open/close, motion, relay state, battery, leak, and smoke events to HA instantly (foXaCe's native 30s poll delay is eliminated)
• Bidirectional control — arm, disarm, night mode, and device commands from HA work as expected
• All device types — DoorProtect, MotionProtect, LeaksProtect, FireProtect, Relay, KeyPad, StreetSiren, cameras, and more
• Multi-hub support — multiple Ajax hubs from one HA instance
• AES-256 credential encryption — your Ajax credentials are never stored in plaintext
Pricing
• 7-day free trial — no card required, activate immediately

Happy to answer questions. If you're running Ajax and HA this should just work.
