Switching to Satel-Integra Home alarm, any advice?

Unfortunately, no… I was never able to solve this. I think it has something to do with my installation which required the installer to integrate our existing garage doors into the new alarm system. I’m thinking that they applied a workaround solution to achieve this which makes my integration with Home Assistant not work.

I think the solution is to use a user code (used on the panel) and not the Panel Integra identifier.

Do not use integra identifier in configuration.yaml use one of your users keypad code. For me it was the problem.

Switching to Satel-Integra Home alarm, any advice?

Folks, here’s how I have it done: I have garage door that is opened/closed by one button: click, it goes up. Another - it stops. Another - it goes down. I use Satel fob and switch in HA open/close my garage door. I also have alarm contact switch that monitors if my doors are open or closed. Here’s setup of output to open garage door in DloadX: [image] Here’s my setup in HA: host: 192.xxx port: 7094 code: !secret alarm_code partitions: 01: name: 'Dom' arm_home_mo…

Hi there (cześć)!
Your post was super helpful, it almost works as I wanted.
The only thing bothering me is that once I trigger the alarm from HA, it is coming back. Even if I explicitly switch it back off, it is still being triggered.
Any hints welcome.
Thanks!

Hello all,
thank you @c-soft for a wonderful component.

I have a question though - did anyone try using grouping on switchable outputs?
I/m facing a problem here. I have made a Group of switches:

when i toggle that group from UI - only one switch is toggled
I have tried converting switches to lights and grouping lights - got the same problem.
I thought that I’m doing something wrong, but logs shows that commands are sent to satel integra panel, every time i toggle a group:

2021-11-03 11:36:50 INFO (MainThread) [satel_integra.satel_integra] Calling handler for id: 0xef
2021-11-03 11:36:51 INFO (MainThread) [satel_integra.satel_integra] Calling handler for id: 0x17
2021-11-03 11:36:53 INFO (MainThread) [satel_integra.satel_integra] Calling handler for id: 0xef

switches are working ok if toggled independently.

So i have tried to create two virtual switches in HA (input_boolean), add them to a group - and the group is working as it supposed to - toggles every group member

Sorry for late reply - it’s a known issue.
I believe it’s a throttling problem, the alarm gets commands too fast one after another and drops them.
I will try to fix that in the next release.

Keep an eye on that issue for updates on this: [satel-integra integration] Unable to switch switable_output sequentially · Issue #42111 · home-assistant/core · GitHub

I have my Satel Integra32 finally installed … I am testing with ABAX2 (firmware 6.02) and an APMD250, but the detection in Home Assistant seem to be almost instant when I enable “always on” option in the PIR (I know the batter life will be less ;-)).

Hi, could you or anyone confirm that the detection with wireless sensors is instant when the alarm is disarmed? I’m very interested in the Satel if this is the case, since I then do not need double PIR sensors - I can then use the detectors for both alarm and automations.

I only have the possibility to wire the sensors in a small part of my house, for the majority of the house only wireless is an option.

Thanks!

In Intega, turn on the partition at the given output! (boot from partition)

Hi, unfortunately satel integration stopped working for me after last update:

any news on this issue, i’m afraid on updating HA

[andriuskr (Andrius)]

Hello,

Could you please share you config from satel side ? how did you made this “use one of the not assigned outputs and make an output of siren as a SUM of output controlled from HA and alarm”

[surfek]

Hi,

I use SATEL PIR in HA and have no problems with automations (they are triggered immediately).
The only small problem I found is with Assist - I realised Assist for some reason does not recognise my windows and doors (connected to Satel). SO when I ask Assist “What windows are open?” I get “None”.
In HA those sensors have proper status, but probably there is some other preperty required for Assist to recognise them as doors/windows which is not set by Satel integration…

Best regards,

Michał

[rupertas]

I think this is because of integration does not provide unique ID for entities?
At least you cannot assign it to area, so could be that HA does not understand which binary_sensor is a “window” also…

Hi! What about wired sensor how often they work (inform in HA states) when system not armed, thk

[krash (Harry)]

Hey, Wired sensors (contacts and PIRs) work instantly - when unarmed - I use them for everyday light automations etc. (if that’s what you mean by how often)

[Kentrp]

One more question, can it possibly to get separate states of one sensor alarm, tamper, masking to Home Assistant. My alarm system is big, i want to connect to 1 zone 3 windows sensor 3EOL

[krash (Harry)]

I have not looked into it, perhaps it’s doable, but I don’t get any thing besides on/off or open/close

[alladyn21 (Alan)]

Hello, do you have a way to find out from the HA level which user unlocked the alarm? Is it possible to somehow read in HA the events that I see in the Satel application? For example, I would like to perform automation for the person who unlocked the alarm. And the second question is whether it is possible to arm the system from the HA level without entering the PIN?
