Bosch Solution 2000 / 3000 Alarm Integration

Yeah, only one connection at a time until the new solution 3000 firmware releases, when that goes out it allows more than one connection at a time, which does make RSC+ work simultaneously

Thatā€™s great!

Thanks for sharing the new release from Bosch @sanjay900. Do we need to update firmware in both the network adapter and the alarm panel? Iā€™m assuming yes.

Would be nice if you can provide guidance on how to do this? (Perhaps on the GitHub page for this add on?). Or even better - a ā€˜updateā€™ button in the home assistant plugin that will (somehow?) allow home assistant to upload the firmwares on the local network.

Hi sorry if this is a stupid question, but does this setup allow me to get notifications on iOS if my alarm is triggered? Can I have a custom sound?

The Bosch RSC+ app is very limited.

274

Yes the state of the alarm entity can be used in an automation to do this.

alias: House Alarm Triggered
trigger:

  • platform: state
    entity_id:
    • alarm_control_panel.house_alarm
      to: triggered

Thank you for the guide!

Iā€™m curious whether there is a way to upgrade the firmware without needing the DLA (Direct Link Adapter)? Personally I have the Solution3000 system, with the B426M module that I can connect to, and I have installed the A-Link Plus software which Iā€™m able to use to connect to the panel and see panel settings. But firmware upgrade - is the DLA mandatory?

Iā€™ve installed the integration and trying to connect via port 7700 and get the below errorā€¦ any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

Itā€™s the correct IP as I am able to connect to the web portal of the B426-M via itā€¦

EDIT: All good got it working now after updating firmware to 3.13

277

Yeah so the DLA is mandatory because the panel doesnā€™t contain enough ram to store a new firmware update, so the DLA is used as a buffer while the panel is programmed.

Hi Sanjay ,

First of all , you have done a great job . I have installed this and itā€™s working as expected . Now I am planning to use the sensor to automate few light around my house .

I have upgrade the B426-M , however due to the DLA requirement I am waiting to upgrade the main BOSCH panel upgrade . With out upgrading both the multiple connection is not working.

279

Correct, you would have to get your hands on a dla to fix that, and unfortunately thereā€™s not anything we can do to get around that.

We have at least finally gotten to the bottom of the integration being unstable with the old panel firmware though so you should at least be able to use the integration with the panel if nothing else is connected.
