Risco alarm system

@pergola.fabio I called Risco last year and they told me, I (or them) would have suggest another installer to ‘take over the system’. So I assumed because the system must be installed by an ‘authorised installer’, individuals could not manage it.

Would I not need to be a ‘registered installer’ for verification with Risco?

I am not familiar with alarm electronics, but I do know the main panel has a tamper alarm. Can this be deactived with the user PIN?

I’m in the UK if that makes any difference.

Yeah, I just enter my pin when tamper goes off, but I’m also individual, it’s not needed to use an alarm company, they need todo it if you ask them to

Ok, I guess I need someone to confirm how to reset the master code, before I go any further. I doubt Risco will provide those instructions :grin:

Is configuring sensors etc, straightforward, by following the manual?

Yes, all is in manual, you can find them online, probably also explain how you can reset it

@pergola.fabio thanks for that. I may proceed with caution - it seems as though only PINs are reset (desired outcome), which means it should retain all current system congratulations/parameters.

Hello,

Has someone already worked out a binary sensor template to get from the attribute of sensor integration sensor.risco_maison_status_events if the alarm system is armed or not?
I am trying to create a binary sensor from the type name attribute in my config.yaml and can not get to the appropriate code to have the entity setup.
It is the first time I am trying to work with templating.

Below is the RISCO sensor sensor.risco_maison_status_events attributes.

Then I do provide my binary sensor template from my config.yaml

category_id: 4
category_name: System Status
type_id: 16
type_name:
  - disarmed
name: Unset - 'BADGE MIKAEL'
text: ''
partition_id: null
zone_id: null
user_id: 1
group: null
priority: 2
raw:
  lineNumber: 1
  logTime: '2023-04-25T10:06:00'
  eventText: ''
  eventName: Unset - 'BADGE MIKAEL'
  eventDescriptorHint: ''
  sourceType: 2
  sourceName: KeyFob
  group: 4
  groupName: System Status
  sourceID: 1
  reportStatus: 131
  priority: 2
  viUID: null
  partAssociationCSV: null
  eventId: 16
  msd: null
device_class: timestamp
friendly_name: Risco Maison Status Events``

Config.yaml binary sensor code

template:
  - binary_sensor:
      - name : riscoalarm
        state: >
            {% set alarmstatus = state_attr('sensor.risco_maison_status_events' , 'type_name') %}
            {% for status in alarmstatus %}
                {% if status == 'armed' %}
                    True
                {% else %
                    False
                {% endif %}
            {% endfor %}```

I was trying the local configuration, and it would not connect. It turns out the cs software was turned off in the menus. Quick menu keys 123 3 CS enable with the house button, and save. It then connected

Hi friends, thank you for maintaining this integration.
Can the HA Risco integration show the video cameras feeds we have set up in our official Risco app?
I tried connecting to my alarm system using the cloud method, but the camera feeds are not showing.
Do I need to add them in a different way?

No, thats not implemented

Thank you, for the reply, @pergola.fabio :pray:
Is this a feature that might be implemented in the future?
Or is there a current workaround to get the cameras feeds with a different integration?

No workaround, ATM…
The local integration will never support it, since the cameras are cloud configured , and local is based on CS software…

Maybe in near future, I have heard an official cloud API is coming in next riscocloud release… Maybe it will be supported then

I have also cameras on my risco system, but I don’t use the official risco cameras , just bought the generic camera license, and just use my own brand, and I integrate in HA with rtsp or on if

That way I have them on risco cloud AND HA

does anyone know if it is possible to get the alarm to set a ‘triggered’ state using 3rd party sensors?

@Sh500 awesome thanks.

Hello, new here, see a lot of useful Risco info. Got an Agility 3 system, and installer disappeared.

Have paid subs to Risco cloud, but it stopped connecting, with LAN module error. Got new IP module from eBay , its exact same as original , but won’t work when set to DHCP, so manually set IP and can see the Agility registered on the router. But still can’t connect either to the cloud, or by using the Risco Config Software, v.4. Cannot even ping the IP module, not sure it it supports ping.

Would really appreciate any ideas , thanks and sorry if this is now right place to ask.

Hi

Some questions

Is the riscol local MQTT addon still on version
0.5.0-beta.2 ?

I’m using that.

This week we had a false alarm… however, HA didnt do anything, although i configured automations…
The automations work, cause when i change the state manually of a binary sensor, then the automations doest it programmed stuff.
So no fault there.

However, i think the Risco isnt passing through the states…
When i look into the log, i see this:

are you using the cloud/proxy in that addon? i had the same issue, had to restart the addon

not sure, how can i see again, been a long time…
think cloud
just restarted it
buyt it should be stable, especially for fire…
cant risk not working

You can see it how you configured it…
