Paradox EVO192 integration

[edgars]

The following scripts integrate Paradox EVO192 security panel. Paradox PRT3 printer module is used to connect the security panel to LM5 through RS232 serial port.

Hello!

Here is my updated communication script. Maybe this helps someone...
It allows to see zone status, get info about areas (if there is trouble in some area and if area is open or not), arm/disarm etc...
Also it polls every minute area status.

Another update to get integration done about 1 minute.

Now my script reads out all arealabels and zone labels (You don't need to know anything about EVO program). Also creates automatically group objects. I tested it couple days ago in my new project and really, integration takes about 1-2 minutes. 
What you probably need to do is edit zone labels to more understandable form (paradox allows enter only 16 characters for area and zone name).

Program needs one main group address range (example 10/x/x)

Group address structure is like this:

Code:

security_main_ga = '10/' --'3-level' = main/middle/sub. Make sure that 10/0/0 - 10/7/X group addresses are not used. System creates objects automatically.

10/0/1 - Area 1 security status [0-DISARMED, 1-ARMED, 2-FORCE ARMED, 3-STAY ARMED, 4-INSTANT ARMED]
...
10/0/8 - Area 8 security status


10/0/11 - Area 1 exit delay    
...
10/0/18 - Area 8 exit delay


10/0/21 - Area 1 entry delay
...
10/0/28 - Area 8 entry delay


10/0/31 - Area 1 alarm status
...
10/0/38 - Area 8 alarm status


10/0/41 - Area 1 trouble
...
10/0/48 - Area 8 trouble


10/0/51 - Area 1 not ready
...
10/0/58 - Area 8 not ready


10/1/1 - Area 1 control        [1-ARM, 2-FORCE ARM, 3-STAY ARM, 4-INSTANT ARM, 5-DISARM]
...
10/1/8 - Area 8 control


10/2/1 - Zone 1 status
...
10/2/xxx - Zone xxx status

All what you need to change is in resident script (group addresses).

After you request area and zone names, give it some time to scan and create group objects. Mine needed about 15-20 seconds (1 area, 50 zones)...

All objects what are created automatically they have also object comment "Automatically created object - Security Area X", "Automatically created object - Zone XX" etc..

Hi, thank you for this script! I'm investigating the best possible way to integrate a security system with KNX in my next project. Satel has INT-KNX-2, which is great, but it has certain limitations (e.g. only 64 addresses). There are some pricey 3rd party modules for DSC. And there is Paradox with PRT3 and pricey 3rd party modules again, or using Logic Machine alternatively. The last option I like the most, because I'll probably put a Logic Machine into the project anyways.

Two questions:
1. Does this script work with the newer Paradox serial module? PRT3 is now discontinued and replaced.
2. Are zone changes reported imidiately? For example if a motion sensor detects motion, is this reported on the same second?

Hi!

I definitelly should choose LM to integrate security system. You have no limits when using LM. Can program whatever you want. 

Answers:
1. I havent tested it but if all commands are the same then it will work.
2. Yes, this is realtime info. In one project I am using movement from security as triger and switch lights when brightness is below setpoint.

Hi, is there a way to control Paradox PGMs (outputs)?

[fleeceable]

Hi, is there a way to control Paradox PGMs (outputs)?

I didn't find any straight solution because there is no command to control PGM output directly. PGM output is meant to control via some statements inside paradox.

But, this solution should work (haven't tested it by myself) but paradox uses this solution with RF remotes.
You can try to use utility key and create this kind of configuration (picture 1 attached). I think there is possible to create similar configuration in BabyWare also.

In LM add this code in residential script to test it out:

Code:

  utility_key1_grp_addr = 'x/x/x' -- turn PGM on group address
  utility_key2_grp_addr = 'x/x/x' -- turn PGM off group address

  utility_key1 = grp.getvalue(utility_key1_grp_addr) -- PGM on
  utility_key2 = grp.getvalue(utility_key2_grp_addr) -- PGM off
 
  if utility_key1==true or utility_key1==1 then
     port:write('UK001\r')
     grp.update(utility_key1_grp_addr, false)
     os.sleep(0.2)
  elseif utility_key2==true or utility_key2==1 then
     port:write('UK002\r')
     grp.update(utility_key2_grp_addr, false)
     os.sleep(0.2)
  end

enable log(event) in residential script to see if command is accepted.

Unfortunately there is no request/status command to see what is PGM state.

Hope this helps.

Hello. Everything is perfect but I see that the connection is through RS-232 port. My initial question is if there is some possibility to manage a alarm central through http connection. This kind of central usually include web server.
Thank you.

Hi!

Thanks for your work, @fleeceable! If I can make this work it would save me a lot of work

For now I'm receiving only nill and a <?> character as you can see in the attachment.

I think the problem may be in the PTR3 options. Can you please give me some pointers how to solve this?


BR,

Check the baudrate settings. All examples here use 9600, but your device is set to 19200.

Hi,

It is at 9600. I just made the print after a test at 19200.

[admin]

ASCII protocol should only contain printable characters. Since you are getting <?> (unprintable character) it means that there's something wrong on the communication level.

[fleeceable]

You can also try to switch Tx and Rx cables on logic side.
Another way to test that your PRT3 module (and paradox program) works is to use RS232 to USB converter and connect PRT3 to computer. Then use Docklight (https://docklight.de/) program. If all settings are correct you should see some data on Docklight terminal...

I have used that Logic library on 4 sites and all works great.

Problem solved!

It was a bad wire connection inside the DB9 connector. The gnd wire was disconected.

This library is great and helped a lot. THanks.

Unfortunatelly PRP3 ASCII Protocol missing a way to bypass zones 

[JMemphix]

It is hard to understand why Paradox did not include Bypass function on the PRT3.
They have it with the IP module... Everyone should send an update request to Paradox to have it added to the PRT3. It takes numbers to get results.

Hi! Right now the D (disarmed) status is mapped to number 0 and the disarm control is mapped to number 5. I need disarm control and status to be mapped to the same number, for example 5. So I thought it would be easy to remap those here:

if areastatus == 'D' then
grp.update(security_main_ga .. '0/' .. areanumber , 5)
elseif areastatus == 'A' then
grp.update(security_main_ga .. '0/' .. areanumber , 1)
elseif areastatus == 'F' then
grp.update(security_main_ga .. '0/' .. areanumber , 2)
elseif areastatus == 'S' then
grp.update(security_main_ga .. '0/' .. areanumber , 3)
elseif areastatus == 'I' then
grp.update(security_main_ga .. '0/' .. areanumber , 4)
end

And added the fifth option here:


command_enum = {
[1] = 'A',
[2] = 'F',
[3] = 'S',
[4] = 'I',
[5] = 'D',
}

However DISARMED status is still reported as 0 instead of 5 right after disarming, or it's even not reported at all in some cases. I've scheduled a script to call request_area_status_ga = true every minute and this one successfully updates it to 5. So it works, just not right after DISARMING for some reason. All other controls successfully update the status, it's just the disarm one that is the issue. What I'm missing here?

[Daniel]

Are you overriding existing object or did you create virtual status?

You need to change this to get 5 for disarm:

user.guardZoneStatus

Code:

  elseif eventgroup == 5 then -- user code entered on keypad
    grp.update(security_main_ga .. '0/' .. areanumber , 0) ------<<<<<CHANGE THIS TO 5
    grp.update(security_main_ga .. '0/' .. areanumber+10,false)         --reset exit delay
    grp.update(security_main_ga .. '0/' .. areanumber+20 , false)        --reset entry delay
  elseif eventgroup == 13 or  eventgroup == 14  then -- disarm with master or user code
    grp.update(security_main_ga .. '0/' .. areanumber , 0) ------<<<<<CHANGE THIS TO 5
    grp.update(security_main_ga .. '0/' .. areanumber+10,false)         --reset exit delay
    grp.update(security_main_ga .. '0/' .. areanumber+20 , false)        --reset entry delay

Also you don't need to change  "command_enum" because that is used only to send right arming command (usual arm, force arm, stay arm etc). If AreaControl variable is 5 then it gonna disarm on either way. Check residential script line 104.
