hmm, maybe your device isnt supported? why are you using proxy method anwyay? i have a verry old lightsys, i can only make 1 connection, thats wht i use proxy, because i also want to use cloud too

346

That is exactly the reason why Iā€™m looking at proxy - To have best of both worlds. My wife still uses the Risco app occasionally. My panel is about 5yrs old.

Iā€™m running on a RPi4 if that could be an issueā€¦

347

hmm, maybe, not sure :slight_smile:

Trying to install this at a friends house
I made a cp user in risco cloud
However i only need to fill in a name and a pincode
The integration however asks for username, password and pincode

What am i doing wrong?

Edit: i read its possible now to do everything local

What are the benefits?

GOOD/BAD for both methods?
It looks kinda hard to setup too.
For my friend i would go cloud first, but want to try local too

349

Local is better in almost every aspect, but:

  1. It doesnā€™t support group arming.
  2. It requires an externally running component, rather than being integrated into HA.
350

i enjoy the local one too
one big advantage for me, its NOT based on polling, so the PIR sensors dont have any delay, and can be used for automations to turn on a light for example

351

yeah thats one advantage why m considering it
the motion sensors react too slow with cloud
Can you help me set it up locally pls?
What are the steps?
Iā€™m running HA OS

is it hard?

352

With group arming you mean?
I cant arm the house in 1 step?

353

No, all is explained , I also posted an example JSON file a few posts up

354

This is the one right? I just have to add as repository?
Is it the one from vanackej or tjforc?

355

The one from vaneyck, thatā€™s the mqtt addon

356

Whats the requirement: * Node.js (currently tested with >=ver. 10.x)
How do i get this if i havent got it? (not sure)
Where do i put the config file? config.json

357

Itā€™s an add-on no requirement needed, just place the JSON file inside config share

358

Just in the root config folder? Where the other configuration file is? ok will try
I just copy over your json and change:

mqtt adress en logins
zones?
and panel ip? thats all?

359

Do i need to do something in the risco cloud ui?
I assume as soon as i start the addon with the json, the app ownt work anymore?
Can i also publish everything from risco under a mqtt topic risco?

360

Mine config is based on proxy , because I have old lightssys board, if you have new board, you donā€™t need itā€¦ Mine only allows 1 connection

The app still works offcourse

361

Not sure what you meanā€¦
How do i now if its an old lightsys board?
Can you answer my other questions pls

362

jus read the readme; its not my addon :slight_smile:

363

Iā€™m trying to understand whats in the readme

So there are 2 connection types? Direct or proxy

If i have an old panel RW132IP direct mode wont work if risco cloud is enabled
So i have 2 options then:

  • or use the proxy (advanteges? use app still posisble?)
  • or use direct but then i must therefore deactivate RiscoCloud and then restart my control panel (or the IP module by deactivating it and then reactivating it in the configuration from the keyboard). This action will prevent the control panel from connecting to RiscoCloud and i will no longer be able to use it remotely from the iRisco application.***

How can i know, which panel im using? to know if i can use direct or notā€¦
