Domoticz

Hi domoticz guru

I am looking to create an alarm system wireless piloted from domoticz.

First of all has someone done it?
I believe it's feasible with domoticz isn't it?

I already have a rfxtrx433e device.
Which standard should I look for my alarm? The rfxcom is enought or should I plug something else?

Which component are the best compromise for quality/price to build this alarm and which protocol?
-external alarm
-internal alarm (maybe Ethernet in case of wave attack )
-motion/luminosity sensor
-door opening sensor
-presence simulating plugs


Thanks a lot for your feedback and help.

Regards
Pierre

Hi Pierre,

From my own experience it does work. I got a zwave setup using 7 door/window sensors, 1 outdoor siren and 1 indoor siren.
I choose zwave for the security aspect which is higher then Rfx, and yes I do realize it's still not as secure as a hardwired solution.

Hi Mark

Thanks for the response.
Yes I agree it will never be as secure as a Hardwired solution. But in my case it is just for dissuasion as in 90% of the case, my Newfoundlander is in front of the house... And it helps.
What did you use to enable the Zwave ? the Zwave dongle to plug on the Raspberry?
Thanks

Pierre

Hi
I pose the same problem to install an anti-intrusion alarm from DOMOTICZ and ZWAVE.
I think installing smoke detectors SF812, a siren SE812 home EVERSPRING, the detectors ZP3102 VISION SECURITY, TAG READER keyboard from BENEXT.
My first question is whether these devices are recognized by DOMOTICZ.
Then, to complete the installation, I can not find key 3G/GPRS and remote compatible with DOMOTICZ.
There may be other solutions, we can discuss.

best regards

Hi,

one question regarding the BENEXT Tag Reader - it will not work with Domoticz, right?

I read some posts some time ago that the code functionality is not implemented in the protocol used by Domoticz and therefore you can just use the arm/disarm button only.
Was it extended in the meantime?

It would be great to arm and disarm the Domoticz alarm with this device fixed beside the entrance.

Thanks in advance
Willi

Hi,
I've succesfully configure Benext Tag Reader with domoticz and z-way.
Z-way can know the right use button ( home or away). when I arm the alarm, z-way make http request to make "on" a dummy device on domoticz, when i Disarm the dummy is set to "off". I use this value to manage the alarm.
If you have this configuration i can explain the process and post the code.
regard.

Hi alibab,
thanks for your reply.
But it is not possible to use the keypad, right?
Thanks.

Yes, you can use keypad to enter the code for arm or disarm.
But this code in my case is set with z-way not with domoticz.
What is your zwave controller?

I am completely new to the ZWave topic - until now I have only worked with the rfxtrx 433Mhz components.

Can I install the razberry (http://razberry.z-wave.me/) on my raspberry pi and use it to recieve the code entered to use it in a script?

If that is possible, I can pass the entered code with the URL to Domoticz security to arm or disarm. If the code ist wrong it should not arm or disarm and I am happy.
I just want to make sure that a code is needed for arming/disarming - otherwise I could just use a normal switch that calls the URL with hardcoded pin (what is completlely unsecure).

Thanks!

Hi, yes I have dot it!
You can also send feed back to the tag reader when the alarm is arm or disarm ( like a sound),good to know if the action have been correctly interpreted.
The code is checking by the tag reader, and the tag reader send a corresponding message to the zwave controller ( arm or disarm and a user ID).
But all of this need litle customisation.

That's cool I will buy Razberry and a Tag Reader.
Could you share your Code please?
Thanks alibab!

Yes, i'll share it after .
But now, i work

h1,
For me, I have a controller AEON_LABS STICK S2.
You must install the Razberry card also or just the software?

have a nice day

If your AEON_LABS STICK S2 is compatible with the software ( z-way).
you can just install the software.

With this system,I can use the tag reader in outdoor and the security panel from domoticz in the house ( with a android tablet).
the android tablet is use to manage all zwave device via domoticz and arm or disarm the alarm when i'm in the house

Hey alibab,
did you post your code as attachement that has been removed or something?
Or didn't you have the chance to post it?
Thanks!

Hi ,
I h'aven't the chance to post it... sorry.
I post it later.

Nice!!!
Thanks in advance - I didn't want to put pressure on it

Hi, here is the code and configuration to use the tag reader with domoticz and z-way.
1/ add Domoticz dummy device to manage the alarme state:
in domoticz, we must add a dummy device to manage and store the alarme state ( arm or disarm)
first : add dummy hardware




second : add dummy device ( name for me is Alarme status)




2/configure the code to arm or disarm the alarme with the tag reader in z-way server

Go in z-way "expert mode" (1) and select "For expert" menu , select "expert command" (2).
Select tag reader device (3):
in "userCode" (4) link, set the code you want (5) to use, click the "Set" (6) user button.




3/configure the tag reader feed back ( tag reader emete sound when the code is right) , and the domoticz dummy device status change.
3.1/create a tagReader.js file in the automation folder of z-way server and put this code :
You must to put the right device ID , the rigth domoticz dummy device idx and the raspberry ip .
/*********** code start **********/

zway.devices[your device ID].Alarm.data[6][5].status.bind(function(){
console.log("tag reader: arm tag reader"); /* log */
zway.devices[your device ID].SwitchBinary.Set(255); /* Switch tag reader to "on" to send feed back */
sendEvent("On"); /* Set domoticz dummy device to "on" to save the alarme status */
});


zway.devices[your device ID].Alarm.data[6][6].status.bind(function(){
console.log("tag reader: disarm tag reader"); /* log */
zway.devices[your device ID].SwitchBinary.Set(255); /* Switch tag reader to "on" to send feed back */
sendEvent("Off"); /* Set domoticz dummy device to "off" to save the alarme status */
});


function sendEvent(status){

http.request({
methode: 'GET',
url:"http://your raspberry IP:8080/json.htm?type=command&param=switchlight&idx=your domoticz device Id&switchcmd="+status,
header: {
"Content-Type": "application/json"
},
contentType: "application/json",
data: "",
async: true
});
console.log("http://your raspberry IP:8080/json.htm?type=command&param=switchlight&idx=your domoticz device Idx&switchcmd="+status);
}

/*********** code end**********/

3.2 call this javascript code.
In the main.js file of z-way server, add this line after the line 'executeFile("storage.js");' :
executeFile("tagReader.js");

4/ configure event in domoticz :

configure your event to run buzzer when you door is open.
Like this :

That's great! Thank you very much for providing your solution, Alibab!!!

Is it a problem to operate the raZberry on the same raspberry pi you run domoticz with the rfxtrx on? Do you use two Raspberry Pi for this solution or do you run everything on one Pi?

Thanks!
