Plugins & Plugin Development General Plugin Discussion

Hi,

I am using Vera PLus system and I am very happy with it. I am add devices in step by step mode. Now I just heard that FIABRO made a plugin to integrate it with Satel Integra alarm systems which are widely used in Polish market.

https://www.satel.pl/en/product/85/INTEGRA%2064,Advanced-control-panel-with-16-up-to-64-zones#cat67

I am wondering whether someone has alrready and can share any experience how to integrate both systems.

Potential scope:

Motion sensors already used as a alarm sensor will trigger the lights using Z-wave…
Remote management of arming the zones, not using a dedicated app to do this…

I am attaching the interface specification from the website:
https://www.satel.pl/pl/download/instrukcje/ethm1_op_pl_1.07.pdf

For someone who knows CRC checksums and other programming staff, it is quite easy.

For me it is rocket science.

Anyone could help with writting a plugin for Vera??

Dear specialits,
I’m also interested into this plugin / method of integration. It will definately improve usebility Vera into Central and Eastern Europe, where Satel alarm system is very popular.

Additionality similar solutions has been already developed for commercial Fibaro and opensource OpenHab solution. The use cases are pretty user-friendly especially for arm/disarm scenario, using of the PIR to control the lights and others…

Looking for support,

Hi,

I have figure-out how to sent a TCP messages to Satel and make it cooperative.

Example below:

local hex = {
“FE”, “FE”, “09”, “D7”, “EB”, “FE”, “0D”
}
local binary = “”;
for i, v in ipairs(hex) do
binary = binary … string.char(tonumber(v, 16))
end
local socket = require(“socket”)
tcp = assert(socket.connect(“192.168.1.248”, 7094))
tcp:send(binary … “\r\n”)
luup.sleep(100)
tcp:close()

Now the key point is how to put the answer from Satel into the arrray, analyse it’s digits and if match do another action.

I was not able to find any good example. Hope you can sent me some example.

I’m beginner, so I’m not able to help. But if you will manage - it will be perfect if you can do small “How to”. Starting form Satel configuration… and later Vera. One of my idea is to use armed / dissarmed status for conditional work of some devices (like hot water circulation pump and others). My external roller blinds are connected via Satel… so this functionality I also would like to connect with Vera).
