I did. The Qolsys panel made me change my code to 6 digit to enable 3rd party. I created a new user in my panel (so I would know when the panel was armed, disarmed via HA), created a six digit code, and then put that code in my yaml file.
I checked the logs in the Appdeamon add on and I don’t see any errors right now. When I push the disarm button it’s as if nothing happens at all in the app, panel, or logs.
Just out of curiosity did you try going into developers tools, states, alarm_control_panel.qolsys_panel_system and try setting the state to disarmed when it’s armed?
Ok so if I do that, it changes the state to disarmed in the app only. The panel remains armed.
Have you tried rebooting the panel? Also another idea is delete out the code in the yaml and see if entering the code in when you try to disarm it in HA works. Sorry just grasping here since there are no logs erroring out to point us in a good direction
I have a question, is it possible to have certain HA users only see the keypad and have to enter the code to disarm and others have the code in apps.yaml be passed through and not need to enter a code to arm/disarm? The reason I ask is because I was thinking of mounting a tablet and don’t want that one to disarm without a code while other devices(like phones) to be able to disarm without a code.
I am currently struggling with getting qolsysgw operating with my Home Assistant server. To be honest, while I am fairly familiar with Home Assistant, this is my first time interacting with AppDaemon4 and Qolsys Gateway. Looking at the documentation on the qolsysgw github page, the appdaemon4 addon documentation, and the appdaemon wiki, there seems to be some differences in install locations, so maybe this is where my error lies?
My setup is an x86 hass-os VM running on an esxi hypervisor. I’m currently running:
Home Assistant 2024.03.03
Supervisor 2024.03.1
Mosquitto broker 6.4.0 (HA addon)
HACS 1.34.0
Qolsys IQPanel2 running 2.7.1-ADCS 9.7.2
Steps to Reproduce
Install AppDaemon 0.16.4 via HA add-on store. I enabled start on boot and watchdog.
Launch HACS, go to Automation Tab, search for Qolsys Gateway, press Download to install v1.6.0.
According to the dialog, When downloaded this will be located in ‘/config/appdaemon/apps/qolsysgw’
Generate and SCP the following YAML to /config/appdaemon/appdaemon.yaml
note: there’s no ha_url or token keys, since the HA addon takes care of that.

cd /root/addon_configs/a07b954_appdaemon/apps
ln -s /config/appdaemon/apps/qolsysgw
This has me end up with this file tree.

But I get the same exact log as above.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
@bcre3306 wow good catch. If I delete the code in the yaml file, the panel pops back up on my dashboard (of course). When I enter the code, it will in fact disarm the alarm system. So something must be off when I enter the code in the yaml file. Something but Im not sure what. I have double checked the spacing, code, etc.
@bumpyj38 Are you by chance using the installer code instead of a normal code? I think I remember reading somewhere that this solution won’t work with the installer code. If not maybe just try creating another code on the panel and try using that in the yaml.
no I created a new code so that I would know whenever it was deactivated by Home Assistant.
you didn’t have any spaces before or after your code in the yaml did you? Sorry just grasping at straws right now!
Sorry for the late response. Yes I had one space but I thought that was required. So it says “panel_user_code:” then one space then my code.
But if I do it with no space there it gives me an error. With one space there there is no error. It just doesn’t do anything.
@bumpyj38 No that seems correct. I’m not sure what it could be at this point. Have you tried changing the log levels?
What do you mean changing the log levels? I have not done this.
Hello All, As we are all usign the addon, I have a question. Do you know if other type of sensors is avialble with this integration. Garage Door, Door Lock, etc…?
Thank you in advance

Hi,
I just found this integration and I’ve been struggling to get it to work. I think I have HACS, appdaemon and the qolsysgw installed and configured correctly.
My problem seems to be that I cannot ping my Qolsys Panel 4. I’ve turned on the 6 digit pin, turn on the Control4, the panel reboots and I cannot remotely ping the device. I’ve assigned a static IP to the device, so I know exactly what the IP is.
I see above someone mention that regenerating the token to help, but for the life of me nothing works.
Any one experiencing something similiar?
I think this is what saved me. I moved the qolsysgw folder and it finally worked. I didn’t do a link like yourself, but instead just copied it into the Appdaemon app’s folder.
Weird that they suggest installing through HACS but it puts the folder in the wrong place. Hope the author will update the documentation.
thank you! was literally looking for this…
