Domoticz

To BornToKill,
I want to go to Home assistant but I have nothing; I used Wiki but nothing. have you tutorial?

To ayasystems,
I am waiting for an ESP 8266 from China for controling my Powermax with your programs.

I am french and beginner in linux programs

@belibaste I’m French too.
Contact me in PM.

Hi Nice work!

Will this aso work for the Alphahome?


It has also the 5x2 connection (center right)

Can someone help me with the Alphahome?

AlphaHome is not a PowerMax alarm system...

I know. It was a try

If anyone wants test it -> https://github.com/ayasystems/PowerMaxEsp8266

Best regards!

Well done!

I've been looking at this for years, added the ESP to the alarm and got communication working a couple of years ago but didn't take it any further.

Now I got a new energy meter and wants to add it to the system, time to finish the alarm as well, think mqtt is the way to go. Have it running at the same pi as domoticz and can control switches by mqtt in domoticz.

To summarise my question, how do you read the information from the alarm in to domoticz?

Something tells me I don't want to use node red, probably silly but don't want to add an extra layer. Can you read and react off a specific topic from mqtt?

Best regards

Hi
I'm using node red to read, process and send it back to domoticz

Thank you for your fast reply even in reply to an old thread!
Maybe I should think about Node red. Seems nice, but something tells me I don't want another layer...

Or adjust the ESP-code to public at Domoticz inputs and read its outputs. Maybe user definable from web UI, path and unit indexes... I haven't programmed for a long time so that would be a great challenge... Probably not worth the time spent, but I believe it's the way it should be as an hobby.

Hi,
I would likt to install this on my Visonic Powermax pro. However he XPL hub website does no longer exists. Does anyone know where I can find the repository?
Thank,
Kind regards

You can use an esp8266 version.

https://github.com/ayasystems/PowerMaxEsp8266

The best option is compilig from github code

Hi,
thanks for your reply. I've tried compiling the code from https://github.com/ayasystems/PowerMaxEsp8266. I've added all the libraries etc.

However I get this error message.

Compilation error: cannot bind non-const lvalue reference of type 'String&' to an rvalue of type 'String'

Hi again, nevermind I've uploaded the compiled 1MB version directly via usb interface. It works perfect thanks!

Hi again,
I got everything to work. I'm able to arm, disarm and see the event log.
I'm also able to read everything in my MQTT Gateway.

Now I want to disarm/arm home/arm away with my Loxone domotica system.
What would be the mqtt commands that I should give?

I've tried this command with my MQTT client as a test: powermax/command {"payload": "ARMHOME"}
After this I see that this is published in the log of the ESP8622 -> MQTT: callbackMqtt: powermax/command {"payload": "ARMHOME"}

But my alarm does not seem to go on. Is there anything I'm doing wrong in the syntax?

I'm new to Mqtt so apologies upfront

Thanks
