it works! thanks a lot for the quick release. I’ll do some more testing to make sure everything is working as it should.
@keamas @Herooo @Scoopien @dede76 @jbasila @Casca80 ,
I assume you are all still running this version of the Visonic alarm integration. If not, don’t worry about the rest of this message.
So, I was never happy with how it worked as it was a pull rest api from Visonic and missed a lot of useful info and functionality because of the limitations of periodic polling and also the limitations of the Visonic api.
Anyway, so I have been working on a little project for some time now in collaboration with @davesmeghead who has a great integration to work with PowerMax/PowerMaster alarms by using a direct serial or custom serial to IP module.
This project is basically a HA addon called Visonic Proxy and is designed to support Visonic Powermaster alarms with a Powerlink module. This creates a fake PowerManage server for your alarm to connect to, and proxies this on to the real PowerManage server to allow continued use of the Visonic apps while having a significantly better HA experience. Things such as motion and contact sensor status, which zone triggered an alarm etc
Whilst this is still probably beta, I think it is in a state to test in the wild and see what we find and wondered if some of you would be willing to help with that.
The required addon (the Visonic Proxy) and install instructions are here - GitHub - msp1974/visonic_proxy
A new custom component (has to be installed manually atm as not on HACs but you all did that with this one) is here - GitHub - msp1974/visonic_powerlink
Daves custom component should also work but I don’t want to barage him with issues at this stage, so try with mine.
Let me know and let me know if you need any help getting it installed and working (as this will form part of the beta to release improvements).
Thanks in advance.
Oh and a screenshot to tempt you!
