I try again and wait a little bit and see this error.

Interesting. If you press enter there, do you get an ACK response?
Anyone had a chance to see if their panel will go from arm away to arm stay at the end of the countdown and a possible way to get it to work right?
I will say that since I changed over to using the OpenSSL command, I havenāt had the first time Iāve needed to reboot my panel. Now granted Iām using it more for homebridge now but I am also sending that over to home assistant too.
I am also working on a flow for SmartThings for just the alarm information, not the sensors.
Wow I havenāt been able to pay attention to this topic for a while. Iām really looking forward to trying out the commands and openssl implementation @Smwoodward! And Iām gonna take a look at the python script - it could replace node-red @mzac!
One thing I spent many hours doing is making my sensor creation much more dynamic. Iām now using MQTT and taking advantage of HAās autodiscovery. After defining my zone id and mapping them to names, I get sensors in HA immediately. So Iāve moved my automation into YAML in HA now.
I defined my zones (all I have are a few doors) in the āInitialize zone ids and namesā Setup step. Itās in javascript but super simple - just a list you can update for your zones.
I use the add-on MQTT broker so my MQTT setup is really simple.

If it wasnāt nearly 1AM I would be implementing the openssl and/or python solutions 
.
Also, FWIW, I nearly never have to reboot my panel. Every so often node-redās curl would fail (dunno why) so I built in a restart if it fails.
The get status command to the panel will allow the panel to send you every sensor attached to the panel, so that would be one of the first steps in getting it to dynamically populate the sensors.
Yeah I realized that after I spent all that time 
. Thatās OK, I needed it doneā¦ still figuring out how to listen on the websocket and feed data back to HA. I really like the MQTT sensors, so Iāll probably keep using that scheme.
Iāve made some really great progress using your script as a starting point @mzac. I have the socket open in a thread and can have it output as events happen, as well as feed events in. Itās kinda (very) poorly written right now but I should be able to share it soon. Iāve forked the repo and you can see current progress: https://github.com/roopesh/qolsys_client/tree/separate_socket
I was thinking about incorporating the entire MQTT sensor approach into the python script. Then it could run entirely independent (no more node-red). I make no promises on approach and Iām totally open to feedback. I am separating how data gets published from the panel as a callback function so this could be replaced with however you want to get the data. Hopefully I have something fully functioning and semi-solid by the weekend.
This is great! I am really a beginner at Python so any improvements that can be made will be great. If it all works would you like to merge it back and Iāll create another release on Pypi? (Or I could make you a developer?)
BTW, in your MQTT section I would probably add options for username/password to connect to MQTT, and possibly also certificate/encryption options. What do you think?
Hey I just wanted to check in and say that Iāve had literally zero restart or communication problems by using Jasonās original Node Red flow from January 2nd. I know thatās anecdotal and not very helpful but I wonder what the differences are. All Iāve really done is:
). It has been untouched and fully working since then. Even after a few reboots. If there are any communication problems happening Iām not noticing at all.Thanks again everyone for the awesome work here. Iām trying to find some time to contribute.
So it seems like I might have figured out the arm away function where my panel would count down and then at 0, automatically arm stay.
I primarily use Home Bridge to pipe everything through to Apple home stuff, and when I would run the āarm awayā function, I was already out of the house. This is key as I have the security system set to if a door isnāt opened after arming away, it will automatically change over to arm stay. To get around this, I added ādelayā:0 to the command so that it instantly arms away. This works fine for me because when I use that function through Apple Homekit, I am already out of the house, so a door will not open at that point. If someone doesnāt have that setting enabled in the alarm panel, then I donāt think my same issue would apply to everyone, however I donāt remember if that is a customizable feature in the alarm or not.
One issue that I need to work out, I noticed it when my house cleaner left the other day, she armed the house through the panel, and Homekit immediately locked the door. lol. So I will need to do an arm away and see what the message is passed from the panel when it starts the countdown and what it says when the countdown is complete and adjust my flow accordingly.
Good catch. That option is enabled by default. Itās under Advanced Settings, Installation, Security and Arming, Auto Stay.
Ahh, that makes sense. Something to keep in mind if someone is trying to send an arm command to the panel. Any time that I would want to send an arm command to my panel from outside the Qolsys I donāt need the delay as Iām already out of the house.
@mzac I havenāt worried about MQTT security yet. Maybe in the future.
@Smwoodward I canāt seem to disarm the alarm via the socket. Have you been able to do it? If so, can you post your json message?
This works for me:
{
"version": 1,
"source": "C4",
"partition_id": 0,
"action": "ARMING",
"arming_type": "DISARM",
"nonce": "",
"usercode": "xxxx",
"token": "xxxxxx"
}
Took a few tries to get it right, and if you donāt get it right the panel doesnāt do anything, probably for security reasons. No error message or anything.
Thanks @dcaton. The usercode was missing 
.
I can have the thread running listening to events quite easily now. With so much running in Python now, though, Iām feeling like I need to make this run in AppDaemon otherwise Iām not sure how/where itāll run.
I just committed a basically working version of the python app. However, thereās no documentation yet.
Anyone here familiar enough with AppDaemon to run the python app in there?
Thanks for all your work on this so far, looking very promising. Is anybody woking on a installable plugin? Or are we just experimenting at this time?
Not sure what you mean by installable plugin-in. Since so much of the logic sits in python and I now have it fully functioning, I am going to try diving into AppDaemon to see if I can get it working there.
FYI there have been big changes to the python module on Pypi, we just pushed release 0.1.0 thanks to @crazeeeyez !!
