AJAX Security System Integration in HA

[AlexeiakaTechnik (Alexei Halaim)]

Hello again HA forum!

In continuation of giving back to community I proudly present - AJAX Security System Integration in Home Assistant

This extensive Github article covers in depth integration of AJAX into HA, how Security Alarm systems/hubs work, communicate and can we take advantage of closed security systems like it. Plus configuration of ALARMO integration and how create practical ALARMO cards for Dashboard UI.

Here is the link to Github:

And a Youtube demonstration video:

I really hope this would help you integrate your AJAX/maybe other vendor security alarm into HA!

I would love to hear out your experience with such integrations and what hacks have you used!

Awesome tutorial. Thank you!

Excellent!

Have not tried it out, but may do. The housing committee are considering installing AJAX in all apartment complex where I live. So hopefully I can get my apartment sensors into my Home Assistant.

I create new Ajax Security integration, that 100% based on Ajax API, but uses Jeedom cloud to access ajax Api. It’s works much better than I expected. For me it’s better than original APP!

There is UI and Integration.
I started new topic

AJAX Security System Integration that works!

First stable version + UI is ready. It’s works like original app, with correct malfunctions and arm errors processing. [card] It uses modified Jeedom Ajax Plugin as proxy to original AJAX API. I use official Ajax API documentation (it’s open to public) and skip all jeedom ajax plugin processing. It’s only limited to Ajax API. There is readme in repo how to install and configure my integration. The integration was build with HA UI in mind, so some sensors optimized to use in UI as easy as…

Feedback is welcome!

Another project has seen the light: Custom Component: Ajax Systems

Native use of Ajax’s API , no need for Jeedom

Dear Gonzague,

your link above isn’t working. Can you double check? Thanks,

I have installed the SIA integration and it does see my system but I am slightly confused by the instructions for this with HA.
It says to enable “Always active” in order to see the states of sensors even when disarmed. However from the Ajax information doing this on a sensor means it will trigger an alarm 24/7 regardless of whether the system is armed or not. What am I missing??

Sorry this was removed by the author following a small panic. Works are in progress to use the official API from AJAX , with their “blessing”.
