ah crap, have to redo everything then?

445

Why? It’s even easier now, also no mqtt needed
The names of entities , just rename them

446

Or stick with addon , your choice…
I still going to use addon, because I need a proxy

447

Really?
Hows that? No mqtt?
Will it be as fast as the addon using mqtt?
Still able to use the cloud?
Also need to adjust the alarm panel to get rid of the cloud setting?

448

Yes , you can choose cloud or local
Local still needs a new TCP board, that’s the same as with addon , so if you have old board , you need a proxy or disable cloud…

449

ok so in fact it will be the same as addon?
Why keep using addon then?

450

Because I need the proxy, the official integeration doesn’t have it , and I don’t want to disable cloud

451

ah ok i see :slight_smile:
what are the benefits of using the official one, instead of addon when i disable cloud and i normally use mqtt
?

452

Just easier to use , that’s all, and no need for 2 extra add-ons (Risco & mqtt)
The functions are identical , it’s the same library

453

Mmm i still need mqtt for my other stuff , so would be 1 less addon
But will it be as fast as mqtt?

454

Yes , it’s same code

  • You’ll be able to choose whether you want to require code on arm/disarm
  • Support for group arming, and mapping between Risco modes and HA modes (like in the existing cloud integration)
  • No need for an external service

Hello guys. Now that risco is moving to subscription, does anyone know how to change the XML server they use to a local one in order to interface with hassio?

457

Local connection is now part of the new Beta 2022.9 , just wait a few more days
But remember, if you have an old TCP board that only allows 1 socket connection, you need to turn off the cloud …or make a proxy

458

Are there plans to include the proxy in the future?

459

No , not on the list, we have Todo this on our own

460

Thx! Will be a valuable feature should it ever be included. Currently using the add-on with proxy built-in and it works very well.

461

Yess, will use that one too for now, untill a proxy is being created by someone

462

Which proxy?

Sharing to all my current setup:

  • Ubiquity Edge Router with Open VPN setup
  • SIM card from 1nce.com - instructions for Open VPN are very simple and provided online

Risco alarm panel is connected via private network and visible from Hassio server.
Panel using Hassio address as server in port 33000

Now, how to make use of it? Port 1000 is closed on alarm pannel…
