Vanderbilt SPC Component

OK found something, if I arm the system and the system is disarmed, it will log the event in HA and change the entity value. Once entity changed to armed it will never change to disarmed. If I arm again the same area, value will still remain and not appear in the logbook.

So the disarm is never received by HA.

Daniel, do you see the disarm in your logbook?

I can see both arm and disarm in logbook.

I also have the same version of SPC FW, what happens if you add support for multiple areas in SPC so that you can give your area a name?

You can also have a look in SPC Web Gateway web-interface and make sure that the area status are changing there (you have to refresh page after arm/disarm to update). Then you have more information in which end the problem are.

:smiley: :smiley: :smiley: Yezzz Great !! Working now.

That did it: Multiple areas settings was off, just enabled it and now I can see the Disarm in HA.

I was already seeking to get the info with restful sensor and grabbing the info from json page of spc web gateway into an attribute…

Thanks Daniel !!!

Hey guys, I am trying to connect my Vanderbilt system to HA but I cannot find any references to your discussions or to the web gateway installation guide to jump start.

Can you please give me some inputs?

I have access to my SPC Connect dashboard as Central Manager, is there a particular way to become Full Engineer? I find nowhere the EDP section.

Thanks in advance!

My SPC is in Swedish, but you can se which menu in the graphics.

It depends on the settings of the SPC, in some cases a user first has to allow engineer to log in. Here is the section where the user allows engineer to log in (only show if user have rights to do it and function is enabled).

When engineer has logged in you can se a switch in the upper right corner where you activates engineering mode.

In engineering mode you find EDP-settinings.

Hi and thanks for your response.
My web interface looks different from yours, it is branded SPC connect Siemens :thinking: are you using a dedicated software and connecting locally to your alarm system?

I don´t have any dedicated software, pictures comes from web browser configuration. If yours look different it may depends on which firmware you have. I have the latest available version 3.11.1. My controller hardware is also a little bit older, the newer ones seems to have Vanderbilt logo in the web interface, but the config should be the same.

Siemens/Vanderbilt have some confusing names for software and service, SPC Pro (old config software), SPC Connect Pro (tool made for installers) and then they have SPC Connect (their web portal for app and remote connection). For personal use web config is the way to go.

How do you log in to your central? From what you write it makes me think that you use the web portal? Share some pictures please and I will do the best I can to help you.

You are right, I am using the web interface. Here’s what I see.

You are talking about firmware, as you can see from the screenshot I often get errors when I try to access my central. It may be something related.

And, yes, I have major confusion in how I should be handling this 🥲

That’s the Vanderbilt portal login in the “cloud”. You need to login to your controller, just browse to the controllers IP-address if your on the same network and login there.

If your on a different network you can connect through the cloud by clicking on the globe.

You will see another login print where you need the local login credentials, engineer and maybe also user. I hope you have these credentials, otherwise you may ask the installer to get it.

I really didn’t know about this one. I got to the other login page but my credentials are not working; I will need to ask them to my technician. I will let you know what happens when I finally manage to login.

For user login you can try with the name your user in the keypad and your PIN code as password.

I am in. I can access the EDP section (it is empty).
I am following the installation guide for the web gateway :crossed_fingers:

Everything seems to be working just fine! Thanks @Newman for the support. Tack!

Hello All,

Has anyone figured out a way to implement pins for the alarm. I can’t seem to figure out a way to arm and disarm with a pin code.
