ParadoxMqtt32Paradox events and control using ESP32
ParadoxMqtt32
This project uses an ESP32 to read the events of the serial bus on Paradox alarm systems and send them to an MQTT server
Making a connection
Connect the panel: -Connect Alarm system serial to ESP32 using RX2/TX2 of ESP32
Arduino IDE settings
Set the Hassio flag to 1 for Home assistant, and check out the wiki (Home Assistant in V2)
The 37 byte message is broken down into a json message with "Event Group" and "Sub-group", and one more dummy attribute which is the zone/partition label.
See the wiki for more info on Groups and Sub-groups
After flashing the ESP board, connect to it's Wi-Fi (paradox32CTL password: configParadox32), open the 192.168.4.1 IP address in your browser, input your Wi-Fi credentials and MQTT server address. That's all.
MQTT Topics
| Topic | Notes |
|---|---|
| paradox32CTL/out | All alarm event messages |
| paradox32CTL/status | The program messages |
| paradox32CTL/status/ACFailure | ACFailure if true there is a ACFailure |
| paradox32CTL/in | Input topic |
HomeAssistant MQTT Topics
| Topic | Notes |
|---|---|
| paradox32CTL/hassio/y/zoneX | Where x is zone number from 1-32 |
| paradox32CTL/hassio/y/zoneX | Gives values ON/OFF |
| paradox32CTL/hassio/Arm/y | Gives values: disarmed, armed_home, armed_away, triggered |
y is the partition always 0 in single partition systems
Sending commands
The command payloads are in JSON. Template:
{
"password":"1234",
"Command":"arm",
"Subcommand":"0"
}
The password is the user's 4/6 digit password. set USE6DigitCode true in main.h file
A command can be any of the following:
- arm
- disarm
- sleep
- stay
- bypass
- armstate
- panelstatus
- setdate
- PGM_ON
- PGM_OFF
Subcommands depending on the main command
| Main Command | Subcommand |
|---|---|
| arm,sleep,disarm | 0-1 partition |
| bypass | 0-31 zone number -1 |
| panelstatus | '0' panel data |
| panelstatus | '1' Partition state & zone status |
