Beta version in docker about risco-mqtt-bridge HOT 16 CLOSED

from risco-mqtt-bridge.

for testing i created sensors like below , but the state is always unknown :)

sensor:
  - platform: mqtt
    state_topic: "riscopanel/eventhistory"
    name: risco_event
    
  - platform: mqtt
    state_topic: "riscopanel/dects"
    name: risco_dects

from risco-mqtt-bridge.

nevermind, unknown state is fixed, seems HA cant handle more then 255 characters, limitation of sensor, so need to truncate it

well, seems the events arent in real time, see my last reply here

what do you want todo? you want to start an automation based on last event?
then create a sensor like this below, but problem is that the event isnt in the polling interval, so its not changed immediately :(

#13

so for my automations based on armstate, i still use for now the email sensor in HA, that one is changed within 5 seconds, instead of 5 minutes

sensor:

• platform: mqtt
  state_topic: "riscopanel/eventhistory"
  name: risco_event

Yeah, subscribe to it, and have a look if the message is instant.,. If not. Then you can also use the email sensor

yeah so been messing with the 'last event' and it seems it can take nearly an hour for my home assistant to update from the events in Risco cloud app. I'm not too bothered about this but i have a sensor for whether or not the alarm is triggered (is either true or false as per the guide) - does this mean that could take about an hour to update as its using the same polling mechanism ? is there a better way to get an instant notification into HA about the alarm going off so i can make my house lights flash red !!??

from risco-mqtt-bridge.

no, the state is still an issue , if @lucacalcaterra can add the lastevent also in the polling , then it should be ok, then it should work
problem is at risco itself, you see the slider also with a delay changing ...

if you want the state immediately, then create an email sensor, thats what i do, email events are instant sended from risco, no delay there, so i created sensors , and i look in the body for a word
for example => armed => automation, turn off all lights and stuff

from risco-mqtt-bridge.

the transforms file has a section about 'onalarm' being translate to 'triggered' - should the alarm_control_panel.mqtt_alarm entity in HA update to 'triggered' in the event of the alarm going off ? are is the only 3 states this does 'disarmed' 'armed_away' and 'aremd_home' ?

from risco-mqtt-bridge.

ive just looked and i dont seem to get an email from risco cloud if the alarm is going off, only alerts in the app so for automations via email i dont think it would work.

from risco-mqtt-bridge.

you need to setup email notifications on www.riscocloud.com
i created a "follower" there, to receive emails about alarm status
those email are sended to a seperate gmail inbox
that gmail inbox i am polling every 5 seconds in HA, so when new mail received, automation kicks in

its for sure an option , i have enabled them all

Hi,
I have the main release running fine in docker for a while now - thanks a lot !

Is there anyway I can use the beta version in docker ? I run Hass in docker on a synology and would like to mess about with the detectors and event log integration the beta release has....

Thanks a lot

Autodiscovery works... need to activate discovery in mqtt broker connection on H.A. For the alarm panel you need to add this lines to your configuration.yaml (accordiing to your states)

alarm_control_panel:

• platform: mqtt
  state_topic: "riscopanel/armstatus"
  command_topic: "riscopanel/armstatus/SET"
  payload_disarm: "disarmed"
  payload_arm_home: "partially"
  payload_arm_away: "armed"
