paradoxdgp-ne96rs232tomqtt's Introduction

ParadoxDGP-NE96Rs232toMqtt

Absolute hack job modification of Margelis' ParadoxRs232toMqtt project as an adaptation to work for Paradox DGP-NE96 alarm panels

Materials used:

NodeMCU ESP8266 board
5V to 3.3V logic level converter

Use 5v power supply from alarm panel for Vin on ESP8266
Using Logic level converter to drop 5V serial signals from alarm panel to a safe 3.3v, wire RX/TX pins of ESP8266 to first two pins of Serial Port on the alarm panel.

Remaining set up follows the Margelis ParadoxRs232toMqtt project

For Home Assistant integration, I used the following configuration items:

binary_sensor:
  - platform: mqtt
    state_topic: "paradox/status"
    name: Pardox Status
    unique_id: paradoxstatus
    payload_on: online
    payload_off: offline
  - platform: mqtt
    state_topic: "paradox/ha/zone1"  # Use for each zone sensor, e.g. zone 1 - n
    name: Zone 1
    device_class: door

alarm_control_panel:
  - platform: mqtt
    name: Paradox
    state_topic: "paradox/ha/Arm"
    command_topic: "paradox/in"
    availability_topic: "paradox/status"
    payload_disarm: "{\"password\" :\"nnnn\", \"Command\":\"arm\", \"Subcommand\":\"60\"}" # Enter your panel password for nnnn
    payload_arm_home: "{\"password\":\"nnnn\", \"Command\":\"arm\", \"Subcommand\":\"30\"}"
    payload_arm_away: "{\"password\":\"nnnn\", \"Command\":\"arm\", \"Subcommand\":\"20\"}"
    payload_available: online
    payload_not_available: offline
    code_arm_required: false
    code_disarm_required: false
    retain: true
