Thanks XaF. I added that line a few hours after posting and it instantly brought in all my sensors.
Also, thank you for looking at my latest issue on GitHub
FYI Panel 4 update 4.1 adds in functionality. Seems to work perfectly now.

Yes, I can confirm this works.
Hi, whatās was the missing MQTT config you added?
Did you ever have any luck with this? Iām in the UK and just got an IQ Panel 2 installed by ADT but struggling to even get to the place where I can enter the dealer / installer menu.
hi buddy, I managed to get it to work. im from the Uk myself. its a bit of a headache but it can be done.
are yon a part of the home assistant discord? its a bit of a long winded process
Anyone here configure any notifications on alarm events? Somehow Iām struggling to get notifications.
Which events? I get notifications when some doors open (balconies). Works like a charm.
Really just alarm changing states. Eg arming disarming alarmingā¦ Specifically alarming
@XaF I tried installing your integration but I couldnāt get it it to work. For now Iāve reverted back to ad-qolsys. Would you mind sharing your Appdaemon restarting script that youād mentioned when you first posted your integration? It would be helpful until I attempt to install your version again.
I have automations to notify me with pagerduty when the system enters alarm mode. Mostly to play around with stuff. Works like a charm! Do you have an issue setting up automations, or are you not having status updates with the alarm status ?
I actually use an automation for that! Everything is deployed in containers in my setup, and I use the āMonitor Dockerā integrations (available through HACS) to trigger a restart of the AppDaemon container if the Qolsys entity becomes unavailable. Since I moved from ad-qolsys, this does not really trigger anymore (last triggers were when I restarted the panel, which is why it even became unavailable).
Whatās your issue with qolsysgw? Have you opened an issue in the repo? Iāve not been as active as Iād like to recently but Iām still trying to keep track of potential issues (only thing Iāve delayed for now are slight improvements).
Can you post the automations as yaml? Not sure what my problem is, but itās just not triggering the way I think it should. Just could use an example to start with.
Hi all, Iām new to this panel and integration. I have it up and running and have a question. My panel has a number of zwave devices connected to it - door locks, door contact sensors, garage doors, that are set to trip the alarm if the system is armed and a door opens, etc.
I know thereās no way to control these devices with this integration. If I understand correctly, the only way to have control of these devices is to pair them with my home assistant zwave stick, then if I want to maintain the same functionality that I had before, I have to program my own logic using automations? E.g. if door opens while alarm is armed, trip the alarm, etc.
Thatās right. You can do the automation in HA (or AppDaemon, Node-Red, etc).

I followed the instructions (to my knowledge) correctly but none of my sensors or the panel showed up. I might try again with a clean install of HASS.
Hey guys. I also have a Qolsys IQ Panel 4 and I was able to get qolsysgw configured on my panel with 4.1. I get sensor status etc. The only thing thatās not working is Iām not able to arm or disarm the panel from Home Assistant. If I set the alarm on the panel it does update the entity status with Armed Home or Armed Away as well as Disarmed when I disarm it from the panel. So Iām able to get the status for the panel. Iām just not able to change the status from Home Assistant. Is there anything special you have to do to get it to work?
Replying to my own comment but I figured it out. For an IQ 4 Panel you must have six digit codes enabled on the IQ 4 Panel in order to arm or disarm it from Home Assistant. Using your dealer or installer code you have to go to Settting>Advanced Settings>dealer/installer settings and check the box that says 6 Digit User Code. It will add two zeros at the end of any existing 4 digit code. After I made this change I can arm/disarm from Home Assistant with no issues.

just relized that this doesnāt actually work for the IQ2 panel, but does for IQ2+ panelsā¦
i canāt seem to get the 3rd party integrations to show on my panel
Iām using it on an iq2 panel and not a plus.
This doesnāt allow the panel to control anything on home assistant, this allows home assistant to control the alarm panel and allow the sensors to be part of home assistant.
@Smwoodward oh really, this is great news! I donāt really want the panel controlling things in HA anyways, so Iāll give this another try. thanks
so, just curious, what did you place for panel token? leave it blank?
EDIT: leaving blank just refuses the connection according to appdaemon logs. I have an IQ2 panel running 2.7.0.
