Hi, are you using the dev release or the main/master/HACS release?
When you set the zone to Gas this does not change the sensor device type itself, just the zone that it’s assigned to.
If you use the very latest dev release (I’ve just uploaded dev release 0.10.3.1 to Github) then grab the diagnostics file again and it should tell me the id of the unknown/incorrect sensor so I can check it.
If you’re using the main release then I’ll need a full debug Home Assistant log file with logger settings as defined on my wiki.
Hi, I have a zwave movement sensor, I wanted to do an automation if the alarm was armed and a movment detected turn on the siren until do a disarm of the panel. I’m not being able to do it. I did and automation as following:
alias: Siren ouptut ON
description: " If movement detected sound siren on as intruder "
triggers:
- type: motion
device_id: 282f2b77e1e8f95caa7ab8b9cb09ce00
entity_id: 0f0111607219ea3403a5b9c225f30d7e
domain: binary_sensor
trigger: device
conditions:
- condition: state
entity_id: alarm_control_panel.visonic_alarm
state: armed_away
actions:
- sequence:
- action: siren.turn_on
metadata: {}
data: {}
mode: single
Having looked at your latest json diag file there’s nothing that I can do, the sensor in zone 5 is reporting its type (sid) as 106, the same as zones 1, 2 and 3. This sid=106 is the key piece of information. The sid is the same for all 4 sensors, it reports itself as a Flood Sensor.
I suggest that you override its device type in Home Assistant itself as there’s nothing that I can do.
Hi new here. I have a PowerMax Pro here in the US since 2011 and it is working fine using the local land line only. Been thinking of ways to access it thru wifi or buying a new PowerMaster 30 G2 but would need all new sensors. $$. Also I see it can be accessed thru my Hubitat but I want to try this way first.
Do I have to buy a Home Assistant Green hub to start with then install HACS?
You can set up and run Home Assistant on many different hardware and operating systems: Windows PC, Linux, docker containers etc. I run my main HA on a Synology server in a docker container for example, but I used to run it on a Raspberry Pi. Over the past year or so HA have created all-in-one setups such as the HA Green Hub, that simply helps users who are not technically able to do it themselves. So I can’t answer your question, use the hardware and OS that you are familiar with, you could install a test setup on your home PC/laptop/RasPi/Mac just to try it and then delete it. Just download the latest HA and install it, it’s that easy.
Once you get HA setup then you can install HACS as an Integration.
EDIT: Forgot to answer about the Visonic Panel stuff. I’m in the same situation, my main visonic is PowerMax and it works for me but I’ll eventually upgrade to PowerMaster … probably. You will need to buy a piece of hardware and fit it inside your panel to use my integration, please see the wiki page on it.
Hi I recently found this excellent integration. I used a NodeMCU to connect my Powermax Pro system. The integration works, but the best emulation I can achieve is Standard Plus. I did the Enroll Step but this does not result in successful enrollment of Powerlink. Please find a log attached. Any advise is welcome. Thanks. Link to debug log: log file - Pastebin.com
Hi and welcome.
First of all well done for getting it set up and all the way the Standard Plus Emulation Mode.
You have missed off the start of the log and I do not know what version of the integration you are using. I assume the Master and not the Dev release but if this is wrong then please tell me. If installing through HACS then it’s the Master release.
With a PowerMax Pro panel type you will need to manually enrol to get from Standard Plus to Powerlink Emulation, please see the wiki here and note 1 underneath the table.
If that doesn’t help then report back here please
Thanks. I am aware of that note and have tried this step (INSTALLER MODE → 7. ENROLL PWRLNK → 01: INSTALL) several times, at different moments in time. This always results in an error beep.
I am indeed using the HACS installed Master version.
The log I shared starts from the moment I started an already installed integration.
If I need to share a different log. Please let me know. Thanks for your support.
Hi dave,
first, amazing integration. Im using it since we moved into a new flat where the previous owner fitted a Visonic PowerMax Pro Part.
I can get into Powerlink mode easily, and everything works like it should.
Unfortunately the previous owner didn’t give me any codes, just a fob to arm and disarm the system.
I read in the documentation, that the integration downloads the eeprom. This seems to work fine, as im in powerlink mode.
my Questions:
where does the Integration put the eeprom? And can i extract the user codes from it?
Where do i active the option “show eeprom data” I’m missing the option in the configuration of the integration.
Hi,
I’ve had a bit of a computer problem for the past few weeks, graphics card decided to fail and it took out the power supply as well. So I’m just getting back up and I can no longer access your logs, can you please post updated logs again. Can you preferably provide complete Home Assistant logs, if you do need to grep then please just grep on “custom_components.visonic" and include all log from the start (restart) of Home Assistant.
Remove the “#” from the start of the line and change “debug” to “warning”
If you’re not using 0.9.9.9 then search the file for the same line.
Then restart Home Assistant
Then within Home Assistant: Settings, System, Logs
Use the Installer code (without the space) on your panel and you can change the User Codes to what you want.
yes, im on HACS release 0.9.9.9.
Works like a charm
Additional question (not sure if you can help me with that, as its kind of Visonic specific).
I have a wired Z29 Sensor, which (physically) is a PIR, but HA detects it as a Door sensor. All fine according to documentation (Wired Sensors are detected as doors). Looks like the previous owner covered the sensor, as the panel goes crazy everytime the sensor is trigged (ready/not ready). Can i “force” the visonic to interpret this sensor as a motion sensor?
I upgraded today from 0.8.4 to 0.9.9.9 and I am stuck in a “Downloading” loop.
I cannot even access my Alarm panel (the real one) anymore and it is stuck with “Downloading” on the screen.
Here are the logs:
I tried a Full restart sequence (stopping HA and going in/out of the installer menu) but that didn’t make a difference.
Any idea what is going on ?
And I am going on vacations tomorrow
My only quick suggestion is to install the dev release or revert back to 0.8.4, I can see that your panel is stuck in the Downloading state but at this moment in time I’m not sure why.
