Commands
Hi there
Apologies for the late reply. The documentation is far from ideal which I plan to update.
I've just updated the sketch to be compatible with MQTT Alarm Panel defined for Home Assistant in addition to other commands like bypassing a zone which is not yet supported by MQTT Alarm Panel. I'll see if I can write some documentation now that I consider this project completed as I only needed to add support for the sending of alarm partition statuses.
Hello, any news how to integrate with Home Assistant? Thanks
Hi there. I've updated the README with the required yaml.
Hi is there firstly thanks for creating such a fantastic module. I would like to know how to arm with a custom_bypass.
I would really appreciate if you could give an example. Thanks
At the time when I developed this, there was not much regarding the "arm_custom_bypass" command within the MQTT Alarm Panel interface in Home Assistant as I cannot see how this would work in terms of how one would specify a zone to bypass. However, I did add support for bypass at the time, but I still need to understand how "arm_custom_bypass" works as one generally bypasses a zone or zones before actually arming the alarm.
On the physical panel, one would press the bypass button and hit the zone number to bypass, so I am not entirely sure how this is done using the MQTT Alarm Panel in Home Assistant.
If you want to try bypass using MQTT, set the payload to bypass using the MQTT command paradox/action/
eg: the topic would be paradox/action/1 with the 1 being the zone and the payload being bypass.
I cannot confirm 100% if this works or not. I would try it now but my family is asleep and would not want to cause unnecessary beeps on the panel.
Just keep in mind that once I get clarity on how this command works, this can change.
