Team,

First of all I am new to Home Assistant and I have setup the hass.io on Rassbery pie 3. I have no knowledge about scripting. Any help will be appreciated.

I have Paradox System which has IP Module and Panel Type is SP4000 and IP module is IP150.

To Achieve - I want to configure the Paradox system via Home Assist and I want automate the process of Armed and Disarmed function on the basic of PING (Presence detecor) to my mobile phone. If homeAssist is unable to ping my mobile then Paradox system Armed automatically and Vice Versa.

Awaiting replies from Great Minds.

Mustafa

Can you control from command line or through API?

I would use command line switch component for alarm off/on.

This looks promising

# Paradox IP150-MQTTv2
Python-based IP150 'middle-ware' that uses the IP module's software port for monitoring and control of the alarm via an MQTT Broker.

<b><i>NB: For a more feature-filled alternative to this script, I suggest looking at https://github.com/ParadoxAlarmInterface/pai</i></b>

The script was designed to be extendable to support more alarm types. See the ParadoxMap.py file for details. If you want to do some tcp dump of your alarm model to add into there, get Paradox's Winload software. Then within it's root folder find a file called COM.ini and change the 'IPEncrypted' setting to FALSE. You can then use WireShark (or equivalent) to trap whatever commands/replies you want to and either extend the ParadoxMap.py's existing dictionaries or add in a complete new Class for another alarm type.

Confirmed supported systems: See the [wiki](../../wiki) (please let me know if yours work, or not)

## Steps to use it:
1.  Tested with Python 2.7.10 & [Mosquitto MQTT Broker](http://mosquitto.org)
2.  Download the files in this repository and place it in some directory
3.  Copy the config-master.ini to config.ini file and edit to configure.
4.  Run the script: Python IP150-MQTTv2.py

NOTE: as at July-2017, there is not a configuration item for the location of the log directory.  See this in the config.


## What happens in the background:
The main script will connect to you IP module's software port (usually port 10000) and login with your password. It will then use two seperate classes (containing dictionaries) referenced in from the ParadoxMap.py file to extract different info from the alarm and translate events into meaningfull text. The dictionaries currently supports the MG5050 V4 firmware but could evolve over time if the community adds more alarm types to the dictionaries.

Uses mqtt to interface with it

If setup the python +mqtt you may use Mqtt components to control and get sensor readings

Thanks tmjpugh. I will try and let you know the outcome.

Hello,

I have tested this on my laptop. The script is working on my laptop and also connecting to MQTT. But now I have to out my application (HomeAssistant) in between on my security system and MQTT . so I can control my alarm system and do further Automation.

Can you please guide me how to take this further ?

tmjpugh · October 22, 2017, 6:35pm

what are you using for MQTT Broker?
I cannot guess how these script are structure mqtt messages so it is easier you check MQTT broker logs for messages and related actions/data passed.

After you know messages,function,expected data you can create the sensor or switch required. I can assist with that.

Hello @MyCool,

how far are you with this? Have you got around to enabling integration between Hassio and your Paradox module? Could you kindly take a look at this thread and assist me a bit? Paradox Alarm MQTT Hassio addon
