Hi,
do you know if it is possible to integrate LM5 with Ajax Alarm system by using their uartBridge module?
Im not familiar with uart protocol but what I understand that it uses rs232

Here is link to uartBridge protocol documentation: https://support.ajax.systems/ajax-conten...dge_en.pdf

I dont have Ajax yet but I want to know if it is possible to integrate ( at least in theory)

Hi
The protocol description is missing there (or I can't see it). There's no CRC, which is dangerous (or maybe it's in layer below but it's not visible from the provided PDF).

I see +5V at the pinout. Does it mean it's TTL RS232? I'm just guessing)
LM5Lp, firmware: 2018.08.22 and 2021.12.15, FlashSYS v2, ARMv7 Processor rev 5 (v7l), kernel 4.4.151 and 4.4.259

It's not possible to connect this directly to LM. You will need a USB-UART adapter. The protocol itself looks simple enough - ASCII lines terminated by \r\n

Ok and thanks! Now I know that it can be done. It is only matter of scripting that functionally.

Any recomendations for an adapter?

Hi, I just bought the CP2102. Going to buy the UART interface soon.

Could someone please help me on how I should start code this? Maybe give me some directions and better documentation on how to use this protocol.
The documentation from ajax does'nt explain it very well for a noob Undecided

It's not an easy task. Eighter way you can not have bith the ajax hub and the uart at once. I got access to the Cloud API instead. Just havent gotten around to do anything about it yet. Will post when I get there.

Is there a new API? or the Enterprise API?
