your other project ParadoxMulti-MQTT works just fine

[jpbarraca]

What Panel do you have? Can you enable full debug, including packet dumps?

[maragelis]

I am using a sp4000 I havent gotten around to debugging whats going on. will get back soon

[jpbarraca]

If you wish, provide a log here or by email.

[maragelis]

I think i see your problem, SP panels need to be authenticated through serial communication.
I dont see a 911 register (PC password) been passed to the panel when message 0x00 is passed back after initial 0x5f message. If this password is changed on the panel from the default 0000 your script will fail to control the panel. You will only receive live events.

[maragelis]

Message 0x00
As you can see byte 10 and 11 is what i was talking about.. This is taken from the coms manual.
(I have used this in my project and it works fine)

Command 0x00 : Initialize communication
PC request

Byte	Value	Description
00	0x00	Command
01-03	0x00	N/U
04	0xXX	Panel Product ID 0x15 = SP5500 0x16 = SP6000 0x17 = SP7000 0x40 = MG5000 0x41 = MG5050
05	0xXX	Panel Firmware Version (Cmd 0x5F answer).
06	0xXX	Panel Firmware Revision (Cmd 0x5F answer).
07	0xXX	Panel Firmware Build (Cmd 0x5F answer).
08	0xXX	Programmed Panel ID Digit 1 & 2  (Cmd 0x5F answer – N/U by NEware)

15	0xXX	User Code digit 3&4 (N/U by Winload)
16	0xXX	User Code digit 5&6 (N/U by Winload)
17-32	0x00	N/U

Great find. The ops manual is available somewhere?

[maragelis]

I dont know what will happen if you pass the connection as NEware and use
14 | 0xXX | User Code digit 1&2 (N/U by Winload)
15 | 0xXX | User Code digit 3&4 (N/U by Winload)
16 | 0xXX | User Code digit 5&6 (N/U by Winload)

I think this would be better as an everyday user would know his user code, but may not now the pc password (911 register password)

[maragelis]

I will try changing SerialInitialization byte(33) of message 0x5f to 0x05 NEware direct, and get back to you.

Hi Maragelis,
Your project is very helpful.
Is there any way you can help me in inverting the process.
Instead of receiving the codes and sending them over mgtt to actually replicate them.
Basically to send a mqtt command from a a device and replicate the 37 bytes sent normally by Paradox Sp.
I have built my own Alarm Panel in OPENHAB and my only way to report is thru SMS but now I need to report to a security Company and they only work with Paradox 37 Bytes Protocol.

[maragelis]

@SilviuMarchidanu what exactly do you mean by inverting. If you mean sending your own event using the paradox protocol thats easy, just use the above document. Where can I help you exactly.

[jpbarraca]

Have you managed to connect?

[jpbarraca]

@maragelis I have a new branch with many other states being reported and with authentication.

[maragelis]

Will try and get back to you.

[jpbarraca]

In one case, a password of 0000 required sending 0xaaaa. No idea why, but I still not analysed the issue properly.

[jpbarraca]

I have created a new issue to deal with the authentication
