Community Hass.io Add-on: Paradox Alarm Interface

Revert your keepalives to defaults and see here: https://github.com/ParadoxAlarmInterface/pai/wiki/Configuration#panel-side
System Options -> Communication -> “Transmit zone status on serial port”
That will send instant motion detection events!

+1

This is the parameter that changes everything.

clau-bucur · February 11, 2021, 8:39am

Yep! Once I activated that was like I found Holy Grail Suddleny PAI became the most powerful thing in my HASS.
That is, util some supervisor updates start breaking things.

Tried saving the new config but get the following error…

Failed to save addon configuration, not a valid value for dictionary value @ data[‘options’]. Got {‘LOGGING_LEVEL_CONSOLE’: 20, ‘LOGGING_LEVEL_FILE’: 40,…

Please help…

Shaad · February 11, 2021, 12:21pm

Use the default configuration. Save.
Then update your parameters one by one, and save after each update until you find the one that raise this error.
It took me some time.

Got it sorted thanks, just now I cannot arm or disarm it thru HA and it shows as disarmed when it is armed…

chriscc12345 · February 11, 2021, 6:35pm

After arming, the status does not update

kastrm01 · February 11, 2021, 7:33pm

Unfortunately, after upgrading PAI to version 2.3.0 (Hassio 5.11), the state after arming does not change (keep showing Arming). If i send a disarm command, the state does not change again either (keep showing Arming).

The corresponding error logs are:

In addition, i observed that every 1 minute says that it syncs the time with the Paradox Panel (SP6000) due to time drifting (even thought that the time is correct at my panel). However, i bypassed this issue with disabling sync at the options.

2.3.1 released. Hurry to be first and get it nice and shiny with latest bug fixes.

Shaad · February 12, 2021, 10:34am

v2.3.1 installed
Had some trouble to get a valid configuration, so I’ve uninstalled, reinstalled, and then updated manually my parameters.
It has started without any issue. Looks OK for the moment.

a_fatoo · February 12, 2021, 12:52pm

Hi,
v2.3.1 as well as v2.3.0 on supervisor-2021.02.6 cannot connect to alarm with serial over ip.
where is ‘IP_CONNECTION_BARE = True’

Shaad · February 12, 2021, 2:10pm

It works for me over IP.
Did you check your password ?

a_fatoo · February 12, 2021, 2:55pm

Thank you ,yes i m using the same from my previous config.

yozik04 · February 12, 2021, 3:16pm

Reset your configuration and add one by one to see what is not allowed.

a_fatoo · February 13, 2021, 5:55am

ok i added it and now is ok
IP_CONNECTION_BARE: true

thanks

Hi,

Changed to dev version (to see every infromation what the panel can provide), because I wanted to monitor and notify myself about system troubles too. Checked the first one in my list, disconnected the input power from the panel. In a real paradox panel I could see a system error, with AC trouble too, but in Home Assitant none of them was present.

I listened those states in MQTT Explorer:
paradox/states/system/troubles/ac_trouble
paradox/states/system/troubles/system_trouble
All of them remain in false state (and everything in the system/troubles topic).
Only the partiton (I only have one) “paradox/states/partitions/MYPARTITION/trouble” became true. But there I cannot see trouble cause. Is it a known bug, or I made something wrong? I havent seen any discuss about this problem before …

My panel is an EVO192 FW 6.86

georgeb · February 15, 2021, 10:20pm

Hi!
Congratulations on this amazing addon. I successfully checked 2 panels of my house. One panel is SP6000 with serial to USB connection and the other evoHD panel with IP150 local network connection. At MQTT integration I see the device SP6000 or EVOHD.
My question is this: Is it possible to do the configuration of PAI to see both SP6000 and EVOHD devices on MQTT at the same time.

Thanks in advanced

gmow1 · February 17, 2021, 3:55pm

Getting the following error, do I need an installer code vs a user code? My installer is MIA so that’s a no go. Any suggestions?

As well, any suggestions in changing the configuration without getting the fail to save error?

Got it working, was the PC Password. Replaced the 0 with a number per FAQ.

gmow1 · February 18, 2021, 7:09pm

All of the imported entities were imported with an Entity State of Clear/Detected. Can these be changed and or modified(Door = Open/Closed)

If possible can I re-import or do they need to be adjusted individually.
