Home Assistant integration briefly stopping and reconnecting every few minutes about pai HOT 9 CLOSED

0.5 seconds is default, I think.

I do not remember if I made timeout configurable. Try to raise it.

Is this the timeout you're referring to? https://github.com/ParadoxAlarmInterface/pai/blob/77a372863f2321bc3dd9698d7055e785e8ff4a0f/paradox/lib/handlers.py#L93C15-L93C34

I can play around with it and see if it makes any difference.

Thanks, now that I have it debugging locally I can disable those unknown event errors and see what's being logged.

I am seeing a lot of retries, e.g:

2024-03-01 10:33:29,215 - DEBUG    - MainThread - PAI.paradox.paradox - Request retry (attempt 3/5)
2024-03-01 10:33:33,218 - DEBUG    - MainThread - PAI.paradox.paradox - Request retry (attempt 4/5)

And I see if this goes over 5 then it restarts, which would explain the reconnecting issue I'm seeing in Home Assistant.

Increasing the timeout to 2 I still see retries but it doesn't seem to get to the point where it exceeds the retries, so it's not restarting anymore (from my brief time testing it).

I'll open a PR to make this timeout configurable, thanks for your help!

Okay after some more testing I don't think changing the timeout will really help. The problem does in fact appear to be that the Olarm Pro device that I'm connecting through is what's causing the problem. If I connect directly to the MG5050 serial pins I don't get any errors.

Now I need to decide whether to ditch the Olarm or risk getting a MG5050+ board and hope it has the older firmware without the serial encryption.

Going to close this issue now, thanks for the help!

IP150 module works very well in my case.

I had my MG5050+ panel installed today, after first locking it up due to too many incorrect PC password attempts I was able to get it working with the help of point 3 here: https://github.com/ParadoxAlarmInterface/pai/wiki/FAQ#authentication-failed-wrong-password

I wasn't able to see how long the code lockout lasted as I had my security company restart the panel and unlock it (it already had been over 4 hours being locked out, so my guess it would have been 24 hours).

Updated the compatibility list with notes:

I have added IO_TIMEOUT setting.
