Is it possible to trigger the alarm from home assistant, or is my only option to fit a WiFi relay to one of the zones, on my evo192??
Hook a PGM to a zone. Control PGM from PAI. Profit.
Nice, didn’t think of that.
Hello, I need some help. I can see in logs that there is an established connection with the IP150+, but after a while this connections closes.
2020-10-31 16:09:40,153 - ERROR - PAI.paradox.paradox - Timeout while connecting to panel. Is an other connection active?
Do you know what’s the problem?
Hi there, I’m using PAI with an EVO192 panel and IP150 with the latest hass.io (117.2), and everything seems to work mostly fine. I’m having two issues though. If there is a shorter movement, the PIRs catch it, but I do not see it in lovelace, it just goes unnoticed. And also, when I check the history of the sensors in lovelace, I see quite a number of “became unavailable” entries. I’m not sure the two things are related. Could you please give me some hints, or point me in a direction how to debug this or which configs to review?
When you say ‘PIR catch it’ : what does it mean exactly ? that you see the red LED blinking ? or that you actually see an ‘on’ status on babyware for instance ?
Did you check how Paradox PIR modules work ? All of them have a sleep timer but this timer is not the same for all modules.
For Paradox PMD75, PM2DP and PMD85 for instance : you get an ‘on’ status on the first confirmed detection, then you’ll get a second one for the next confirmed detection in the 3 or 4 next minutes. And that’s it ! It means that’s after these 2 detections, it goes to sleep until the end of the 3 or 4 minutes period after the first detection.
But for NV75MR you’ll the get a notification on the first detection and then you won’t get anything as long as the detector detects motion ! I don’t know its internal reset timer value or if it has one but it is long, at least 10 minutes.
This timer can be changed using a jumper on some of the modules.
Maybe you’re aware of these mecanisms and you can forget my answer, but that’s an important point to keep in mind when you try to use alarm modules for home automation purpose. You have constraints.
Tthanks for your answer. By “catching” I mean the red LED blinking indeed. What concerns the sleep timer, your examples referred to wireless PIRs, but in my case I’m totally wired up, no use of wireless. From what I know there is no sleep timer in the wired ones, but correct me if I’m wrong.
If you have double detection sensor (IR and Microwave) then you can set it to trigger even when only one of the types triggered. There should be a jumper in it.
In Babyware it is recommended to check System Options -> Communication -> “Transmit zone status on serial port” . This way events will be received instantly.
HI
I got this in my home
MG5050 - 4.96
IP150 - Firmware version 5.02.19
And i got Shelly controllers
What i like to do
Open the garage dor and put alarm off with one command.
Shelly is config and ready i test and all works
Paradox alarm is not ready
So i install the plugin
Paradox Alarm Interface 2.2.4
But i see i need a Mosquito this is what i dont understand how config this…
I install Mosquitto broker V5.1 but i dont know what to do…
Can anyone help me understand how i configure this please.
My skills in programming is zero what i do is by intuition for what i ready and copy.
Thanks for all support
Bruno
PS - I got a Swan account in Paradox i order the app
Thanks, I’m gonna try this as soon as possible. Other than that, I’m wondering why I cannot login to the webconsole of the IP150. Is this because PAI is always logged in?

Most probably. I tried and can not login to mine as well.
The Babyware setting you recommended solved my problem, thanks a million!
Hello! Great work on the integration!
I have the MG5050 board and before I go on and buy the module I want to ask if there is a list of supported IP150 modules and firmware version?
For example, will the newer IP150+ on firmware 5.2 work with the integration? Or should we stick to the normal IP150 (no plus)? Does the firmware still matter?
Thank you!
I’ve seen no reports of something not working on firmware versions 5.0+ so far. Can not predict the future. Paradox can always do something to try to block us. This is why I personally stick to 1.3#
instead I have the opposite problem, the PAI log tells me that it reads keyboards, users, sirens, etc., but I don’t find them in the integrations (I only have sensors and pgm).
I would like to see the power and battery status but I can’t.
sorry I’m new here!
with a bit of effort because I am at the beginning, but it seems that everything is working fine … thanks for the work.
the only drawback is that when pai is connected the app on swan does not have access to the control panel … is there a solution for this?
I have SP6000 fw 7.14 ip150 fw 5.02

Is it possible to receive trouble codes for the alarm, into home assistant??
Just wanted to thank the authors of PAI.
I am currently running it with SP4000 and IP150+ for about a week without any issue so far.
Thank you!
Sp6000: IP150: V5.2.19
I got PAI installed, and can see it connecting, populating paradox/* with topics and values, also doing it’s bit into homeassitant/* topics.
I’ve pushed a command to to bypass and clear_bypass to a zone and arm_sleep and disarm both my partitions, so all see to be working - Excited 
but it seems to be blocking InsiteGold now, as long as PAI is running I can’t access alarm with mobile app or via the local ip:80 web interface.
Until I’ve got my HA setup.cards etc all done I need InsiteGold to keep working, and would like to have it as a backup available all the time.
Please advise.

… while I hope we can get the dual access of PAI and IP150+InsiteGold/SWAN resolved, I"m working on my HA panel…
So HA went and auto discovered most/everything, and via the entities I was able to pretty up the zone names a bit. I then created a basic card, see attached.
So at basic it allows me to arm/disarm/sleep/ etc my 2 partitions.
but looking at the individual zones… it just shows the names, how can I show when a zone is in alarm, or have a on/off switch to bypass/clear a zone and also show if it’s open or closed.
