HI, I got the D8x and purchased a USR-232-302
I have logged in as installer and done
PE
P199E
1E
2E

EE
The 232 module is online and configured as TCP server
the integration shows up but no readings from the zones and no alarm control
i did read somewhere that it’s possible the RX / TX wires needed to be swapped? Is this the case to get it working?
If you followed my description of the wiring above (white to pin 2, blue to pin 3) it should work fine. That will make the Tx from the D8x connect to the Rx of the USR-232-302 and the Rx from the D8x connect to the Tx of the USR-232-302.
Did you use a NESS 450-246 cable and replace the RS232 female connector with a male RS232 plug?
Ah ok, so in essence, on the 450-246 just pop the blue and white out and swap them over?
Yep got the NESS 450-246 cable + a DB9 Gender adapter (https://www.jaycar.com.au/d9-plug-to-d9-plug-computer-adaptor/p/PA0900)
Yes, that should correct the wiring and you should start getting data …
That worked @Taipan Thank you
I’m getting some zone data, Some zones not coming through, I can arm the alarm by entering code and selecting arm (ideally i would like to arm/disarm without the code if possible)
Disarm didnt seem to work yet but will try again when people arnt moving around
my config looks like this
# NESS D8x via USR-232-302
host: xx.xx.xx.xx
port: 20108
zones:
- name: Entry
id: 1
- name: Garage
id: 2
- name: Living
id: 3
- name: Upstairs
id: 4
Have you included a scan interval in your config, like this?
scan_interval:
# At least one of these must be specified:
days: 0
hours: 0
minutes: 0
seconds: 10
milliseconds: 0
@nickw444 are you able to add functionality for the dplus panel.
see dplus doc
I haven’t looked closely at the new spec, but the 1.3.1 version of the library should support DPLUS8 panels as well as 32 zone extensions
Thanks Nick, Ill test it when I get my Zone Expander.
