Jablotron JA-80 series and JA-100 series alarm integration

plaksnor · May 1, 2019, 7:52pm

It seems like the packet doesn’t match the conditions in the IF statement:

                if packet[:2] == b'\x82\x01':

There is also no ELSE statement. When I make one to output the packet…

                else:
                    _LOGGER.info("JabloDebug: packet: ", format(packet[:2]) )

HA log puts lines like:

2019-05-01T19:40:07.659264566Z Arguments: ('b\'Q"\'',),
2019-05-01T19:40:07.778032913Z Arguments: ("b'\\xd0\\x08'",),
2019-05-01T19:40:08.313103757Z Arguments: ("b'\\xd2\\x06'",)

usbtty0 -> ttyUSB0 corrected, thanks

Thanks for the detailed info, I’m using Rpi model B+ too, but am on Hassio, so we have a similar enough configuration.

Yours is a Jablotron 100 series alarm. Its good to see there is a serial interface available too so I think we have a hope of getting this working.

The way I found out the codes for my alarm was dumping the output from the serial.

I did it using a mix of Putty (Windows) and hexdump /dev/hidraw0 (linux). For my alarm on my usb connector, I see every incoming packets starting \x82 (I wonder if the 82 refers to my alarm model or serial model!?). After this byte, there is a byte which is one of \x01 through \x07. I quickly deduced by trial and error that the packets starting \x82\x01 were providing the setting/unsetting status information. I did this by setting the system in various states and noticed that the 3rd byte of the packet changed predictably.

To see the pattern, I’d say you need a second or twos stream for each state and then the trace should be decipherable, so if you could post some further trace info, we can try to decipher together. If you are up for it, I suggest one trace in unset for 2 seconds and one trace in a setting state. Hopefully that will allow us to pick out the difference.

Hi,

Sorry for late response.
That is all I found in my log file regarding to jablotron:

Thanks @mattsaxon,

This is what I did:
I created a script “test.py” and I assumed that the start message for JA-80 series would be the same for the 100 series. Well at least it looks like this message is triggering a response.

fp = open('/dev/hidraw0', 'wb', 64)
fp.write(b'\x00\x00\x01\x01')
fp.close()

Then I started 2 putty sessions. One for writing to hidraw0 and one for reading it.
So in session 1 I’m executing the script:

$ sudo python test.py

And in session 2 I’m catching the response:

$ sudo cat /dev/hidraw0 | hexdump -C

I repeated above steps 5 times and these are the results:

So they all start with \xd0\x08, but when I change ‘alarm_control_panel.py’ with this combination of bytes…

                if packet[:2] == b'\xd0\x08':

… it seems like the HA log is not making any difference.
It looks like the switcher array in ‘alarm_control_panel.py’ also needs to be updated in order to find the right commands/patterns for the JA-100 series.

mattsaxon · May 3, 2019, 8:10am

So looks like the consistent header is 5 bytes as follow d0 08 9c 68 80 3f

Then there is variance, and in the 5 packets there is;

50 twice
30 once
d0 once
00 once

Since the 50 repeats, I’d expect if you ran a longer trace you’d find this 6th byte repeats frequently (just as my 3rd byte does).

Is there any reason for you to rerun the test.py (5 times in your example), for my system once the start message is sent, it just keeps sending data non stop. If this is also the case for you, can you send a single longer trace and then another trace whilst the alarm is in another state, e.g. setting… then we can look for the differences between those 2 traces.

mattsaxon · May 3, 2019, 8:21am

I’ve pushed an updated script to GitHub, which should give a better error message in the logs, would you minding deploying that and reporting back your findings?

Also, can you tell me the model number of your control panel?

plaksnor · May 3, 2019, 10:07am

I don’t receive a stream of data, but just a bunch of lines (12).
Maybe it depends on the startup message and of course the Jablotron system.

I’ve deployed the updated script and this is my HA log:

2019-05-03 11:56:44 ERROR (ThreadPoolExecutor-0_0) [custom_components.jablotron.alarm_control_panel] Unrecognised data stream, device type likley not a not JA-82 control panel?b'Q"\x01\x00\x07\x00\x07\x00\x07\x00\x07\x00\x07\x00\x07\x00\x07\x00\x07\x00\x07\x00\x07\x00\x07\x00\x07\x00\x07\x00\x07\x00\x07\x00\x00\x00\x00;\x08 \x0b\x00\x00\x00oI\x03\x00\x01\x00\x00\x00d\x04\x00\x10\x0b\x00\x00\x00\xd9R\x03\x00'

Model number of control panel: JA-101KL
Or do you mean some other kind of number?

mattsaxon · May 3, 2019, 12:03pm

Thanks @plaksnor, but sorry that last message was for @aryu. I wasn’t expecting my new code to resolve your issue as we are further through diagnosing

With regard to your trace, your device is giving very different info to mine, but I’m happy to continue trying to decipher it. Would you mind doing another set until you can see some sort of recurring pattern? You’ll need to do this in different settings (set vs unset or setting), or we won’t be able to see the difference.

plaksnor · May 3, 2019, 2:21pm

Sure, no problem.
So to be clear: I’ve manually submitted a startup message in order to trigger a response from the system. For each message I send, I made a little note what kind of state the alarm was and what the iteration of the message was.

Sit tight

alarm off (state) 1 (iteration)

Most (not all) of the messages start with

Some start with:
51 22

Thanks, that’s great info. Looks to me like the packets are 64 bytes for you just as for me. the header of 51 22 is the state and I can recognise 3 states so far (01, 03 and 83). I’ve posted up a new version of the script, can you test it please?

p.s. I haven’t dealt with the fact that you seem to need to post multiple startup messages, but you may get a status through anyway before it stops.

wow, impressive how you deciphered this, nice work! It seems it recognizes the state now (after a couple of restarts though, because of the startup message as trigger):

I also see more than just a state in HA:

Thanks so far!

Great news, progress. I’ve posted a new version that sends the startup message again when a message is received. Can you test this please, hopefully you shouldn’t need to restart now.

How many settings do you have on your alarm, for example, do you have split mode or partial setting enabled?

mattsaxon · May 3, 2019, 5:05pm

Have you tried setting/unsetting it from the HA UI yet? If that doesn’t work, we have some more debugging to do. You will need something that can sniff HID packets. I used a Windows tool Device Monitoring Studio

I then ran the stock Jablotron software (O-Link for me, it will be J-Link for you) on the same device and sniffed the HID device to see what messages were sent when I pressed (the virtual) keys on the virtual keypad to set/unset.

Your script is succesfully sending multiple startup messages:

2019-05-03 19:34:43 DEBUG (ThreadPoolExecutor-0_1) [custom_components.jablotron.alarm_control_panel] Sending startup message,
2019-05-03 19:34:44 DEBUG (ThreadPoolExecutor-0_0) [custom_components.jablotron.alarm_control_panel] Sending startup message

But it seems like it doesn’t always receive a response when you send a message.
I’ve already experienced something like this before: when I send a startup message in about every 10 seconds, I get a response guaranteed. But when there’s like 5 seconds between them, there’s no response. Or well, not always. For example, when I send a message every 1 second, I could get a response after 7 or 8 messages or so.

How many settings I have on my alarm? For now I have just 1 zone if that’s what you mean. I do have multiple sensors, but no PGM’s programmed so far. I’ve used J-Link before online, but since I’m running out of GPRS credits, I need to wire it manually. I’ll see if I can make a direct connection from my pc soon. Thanks for your help so far! I’ll keep you posted.

Yes I have, but it doesn’t work. I see the actions (and the code) in the log, but it seems like it’s not arming or disarming anything yet.

mattsaxon · May 3, 2019, 6:38pm

I’ll have a look at improving the send startup code such that it retries if message don’t come back, but that will be a bit of a harder change, so probably won’t be immediate. If you could try the J-Link meanwhile, that would be appreciated. Do you have access to a Windows machine to run it?

plaksnor · May 3, 2019, 6:48pm

Ok, I’ll appreciate! Yeah, running J-link now as an administrator (not as a Service aka root user ). In the meanwhile I’m running HID Trace in the background, but I’m not sure if this tool will provide me/you with the data we’re looking for. Is there something specific I need to look out for? I mean, would you like me to sniff all the messages when pressing all buttons? (0-9, * and #) so you can create all bindings?

mattsaxon · May 3, 2019, 6:59pm

Using the tool I mentioned, you could trace all messages down a specific HID, so there will be no data flowing down the HID to the Jablotron until you do something in the virtual keypad. Yes, if you could press all buttons in turn that would be great. My panel has specific setting buttons too, but they emulate multi key presses. So for example ABC button means set-all zones and is just the same as pressing *, then 1

mattsaxon · May 3, 2019, 7:08pm

New version posted, it has a watcher thread that checks data is flowing every 10 seconds and if not sends another startup message
