Qolsys IQ Panel 2 and 3rd party integration

Third party integrations
145

Trying to add it but getting this error:

Repostitory structure for 1.1 is not compliant
146

Same here.

147

Did you make sure you chose AppDaemon as the custom repo category?

148

You need to check ā€œEnable AppDaemon apps discovery & trackingā€ in HACS Options integration page.
Then you can add it as a custom repo in the category ā€œAppDaemonā€.

Got it

150

That worked.

151

Nice!

I have orderd a new alarm system with this panel, hopefully it will arrive in the comming weeks so that I can try this app.

152

It works!!! Now to write some sensors in home assistantā€¦

root@pi3:~ # mosquitto_sub -h hassio -u hassio -P <removed> -v -t "qolsys/#"
qolsys/panel/zone_event {"event":"ZONE_EVENT","zone_event_type":"ZONE_ACTIVE","version":1,"zone":{"status":"Open","zone_id":8},"requestID":"2150deb9-0d21-4381-8b22-64f674497c17"}

153

If you use mqtt doesnā€™t this automatically create the sensors?

154

Thank you @Atliant!

yes. @mzac did you disable mqtt discovery?

155

Yep it did, but it didnā€™t create all of them. Only the door sensors showed up. Here are others I have that didnā€™t show up:

},
156

Added sensor types in v1.2 (see Other zone types Ā· Issue #2 Ā· roopesh/ad-qolsys Ā· GitHub)

157

I still havenā€™t even gotten mine to work yet. lol Might be because I donā€™t know much about mqtt

158

Do you have an MQTT broker already? If not, the Add-on works fine.

159

Well thatā€™s a good sign, I got a topic for the appdaemon now. lol

160

So I am seeing this in the logs of appdeamon.

Do you have mqtt configured? Are all the topics discreet?

162

I do have mqtt configured. The zigbee2mqtt and zwavejs2mqtt are showing up.

What do you mean discrete?

163

Can you post the config from apps.yaml?

164

Anyone using this in the UK ? (or EU)

Iā€™m interested in if the panels are locked to an LTE carrier - they seem to be sold as AT&T Verizon etc. Would like it to work with a UK carrier obviously.

I have the AppDaemon integration running but no panel yet! Should it publish anything to MQTT in that scenario (I see the socket fail) - perhaps an LWT messageā€¦
