Bentel Absoluta Alarm System integration

Hi,

Your work is very interesting.
Do you have in mind to open the sources of your addon?

Now I can connect to the alarm panel. I did a firmware update and now it works.

But when I click to activate the alarm, nothing happens and I get this MQTT error:

WARNING: Lost connection to MQTT broker! Cause: MqttException. Reconnecting in 5 seconds...

Broker is getting the info fine but no reaction from the alarm.

I’ve had this error once, then it got solved by itself…

I can connect to the panel with BOSS software and the Panel Control application, so I think the problem must be coming from the plugin.

Are you writing the MQTT Server IP as serverIP:port? An example would be 192.168.1.2:1883

No, just the ip adress.

I just tried with port. I have the same issue.

The broker receives the information:

Message 9 reçu sur homeassistant/alarm_control_panel/absoluta_1_global à 12:15 :

ARM_HOME

QoS: 0 - Retain: false

Message 8 reçu sur homeassistant/alarm_control_panel/absoluta_1_global à 12:15 :

ARM_HOME

QoS: 0 - Retain: false

and still this error on the plugin side:

WARNING: Lost connection to MQTT broker! Cause: MqttException. Reconnecting in 5 seconds...
Sensor with ID 3 status changed to ACTIVE
Sensor with ID 3 status changed to OK
Sensor with ID 3 status changed to ACTIVE
Sensor with ID 3 status changed to OK

Hallo Nicomedia, thank you for your job. I have a problem: I see the sensor and their state but I can’t arm the Alarm. What’s wrong?
HA runs on virtuale machine in a Windows PC

Hello, I noticed another little problem: if none of the sensor changes status for a long time, the entities go unavailable (I think it might be because of the MQTT messages EOL), even though there is no error in the logs. If I’m on vacation, for example, after some days I need to restart the addon in order to get the status of the sensors.

Nothing new about the plugin errors?

I’ve talked directly with nicomedia and shared some documentation, i think is doing an hard job to rewriting the core of the comunication ITv2 it will be more easier for him to debug, give him some time, I can’t help much because his skills are much higher compared to mine.

Ohh ok. Good news.

Thanks for the job.

ciao scusa l OT sei italiano? come posso contattarti grazie

Hello everyone, I apologize in advance if the questions may be stupid but not being an installer (I’m a programmer) they came to mind.
What parameters does SIA Alarm Systems integration need? Where do you see them in BOSS?
I have full access to the control panel thanks to the BOSS software in case it is needed.

Thank you all!

did you find a way to integrate it?

No, I didn’t.

cool =/ I can read the status but it’s impossible to change it

You can read status using sia integration?
Can you share your config?

Question about configuration:
Hi! i’m trying to get this to work but i don’t know where to get all the configs

  panel_id: ""
  pin: ""
  panel_ip_address: ""

where do i get panel_id?

panel_ip_address is just the local IP that i use in the BOSS software?
pin is this just the pin i normaly use to log in?

i need some extra description on what every config is
thank you

Panel id is the one you also use to register your alarm panel into the app (0000ABCD)
Pin is the same you use to login to the app
Panel IP is listed in your router web page

Hi! Have there been any developments on this topic? No rush, just out of curiosity
