Texecom2mqtt: Texecom alarm panel and MQTT integration with HA support

YAML? Redact password

nothing created…

this is an expanded error when i try setting configuration settings:

Failed to save add-on configuration, Missing option ‘homeassistant’ in root in texecom2mqtt (c15a2434_texecom2mqtt). Got {‘log’: ‘info’, ‘cache’: False, ‘texecom’: {‘host’: ‘192.168.1.165’, ‘port’: 10001}, ‘mqtt’: {‘host’: ‘mqtt://core-mosquitto’}, ‘areas’: , ‘zones’: }

is it because I’m running HAOS not docker?

Once the add-on has been installed you then set configuration before running the add-on … I copied the YAML from previous posts above into my configuration.

You need to set up the configuration first …and show us your YAML.

If you have not set-up configuration / YAML then you will receive errors.

thanks - been tied up at work a bit, but will try this over the weekend…

Just curious to know if anyone has seen this before - I hadn’t/haven’t.

Away for a few days, at more or less (few seconds) bang on 01:00 UK local time, my SmartCOM started returning ‘Connecting Refused’ to the add-on.

My SmartCOM is firewalled from all internet access, but luckily I could remove the firewall restrictions, so it then connected to Texecom Cloud…where I could then reboot it.

I re-firewalled it and restarted this add-on and it reconnected fine. Just a bit odd, that it died more or less bang on 01:00.

Would have been a pain if it wasn’t connected to Texecom Cloud, i.e I wouldn’t have been able to restart it, whilst away.

I understand you need to disable encryption on the Texecom panel to allow it to communicate with the HA add-on, which I have done. However, is disabling encryption risky?

(FYI Google AI responds “disabling encryption for a Texecom alarm system is a very bad idea because it significantly compromises the system’s security, making it vulnerable to interception and manipulation. Texecom utilizes encryption as a fundamental security measure to ensure the reliability and safety of its systems and data transmission.”)

And if disabling encryption is a security risk, is there a way to mitigate it? Thanks!

No. I never heard of touching encryption

The information tab of the HA add-on explicitly refers to disabling encryption - see below screen grab. Is this a security risk and how can this be mitigated?
