So I decided to play around with NEware today to see if I could find anything useful. The best I can say is not yet. I tried running it through a proxy to record http traffic in hopes of getting some goodies. Turns out it’s not going to be that easy. It appears that the “software” port doesn’t use a standard http web request and thus I can’t record via the http proxy in jMeter.
That doesn’t mean all hope is lost, just that it’s not going to be easy. But then again if it was there would probably already be something available.One thing I did notice though is you can only ever have one connection to the ip module.
Via software or web. I’m working on trying to get access to the API under NDA. Even if we can’t reveal the API details under NDA we may be able to publish plugins or other tools.I’m also going to stick a sniffer on the network to watch traffic to the IP160 on port 10000 and see if there’s anything of use in there, although I assume the traffic will be encrypted in some way.It strikes me as bizarre that Paradox would not want to open up integration to their platform, DSC, ElkM1, etc. All have done.I’m using the PRT3 right now, but it’s painful - serial is so “last season” and it’s fraught with bugs and poor documentation.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD.

I’m not going to spend a significant amount of time with trying to determine the software api. If someone else figures it out I’ll re-write what I have.

As far as I’m concerned what I have works well.I’ve put my code up on. It’s not exactly finished, but works well for playing around with. You’ll see some of it’s been tailored for SmartThings but can be tweaked for your needs.
There’s probably a way to make it more generic as well.I can’t exactly help with vera integration, but my smartThings integration has worked. I currently have all my alarm open/close sensors and motion sensors connected and receiving updates as live events happen.Now, like I said there is still lots to do around alarm states etc.
I’ve mostly been concentrating on live device status. If you want to help I can gladly add you as editors of the repository. Hi guys -I’m grappling with the exact same issue here, so I was very happy to stumble across this thread. I want to control my Paradox from a Command Fusion HA system. I reached out to Paradox, who bumped me down to the local distributor, who referred me to my original installer who as you can imagine, doesn’t have much of a clue about HA and what’s technically possibly.I work in IT, but am not a programmer so I’m trying to understand the current state of affairs. If I understand correctly, the only currently understood method of controlling the Paradox IP module is through an intermediary service to which the HA platform must connect (via HTTP / REST API) - which tracstarr has kindly developed? Provided the HA platform can send HTTP commands to the web-service, it should be possible to achieve the desired control of the alarm?tracstarr - you mentioned you had a compiled version of the console version you could make available?
Not really knowing to compile the GitHub source code (embarrassing I know), I will reach out to via PM to see if you can make that available in the first instance.My other potential issue is that I have the older IP100 module (not the IP150) this could well cause an issue if it handles things differently. Guess we’ll have to seeGood work guys. I’ve been relooking at the Wireshark PCAP I got, and it seems that it speaks on port 10000. It seemed like random strings, until I found this:.

I think the IP150 passes serial communication straight through to the panel. Kinda excited!For the record heres an example.It seems the iParadox app sends this to the panel:aa 09 00 03 51 fb 01 0e 00 01ee ee ee ee ee ee 33 3a e4 9d 94 82 6e 2e 82 6d07 61 7c 24 1c 0fAnd then the panel replies with this:aa 69 00 01 53 fb 01 00 00 eeee ee ee ee ee ee 8f 13 23 27 5d 68 66 bd 1a c8a9 53 0c c1 a8 72 5d e7 80 cb d9 9f 99 81 09 405d 8e 16 9e ed c3 50 7a ba 1e d0 3d c4 6f 37 35 ac d0 48 ba 34 cc ce 09 0c e6 9d 193f 9a be d8 3e 7b 02 2e 02 91 48 cf 86 43 97 9bdb f5 68 44 c5 2e 7a 93 4a a8 6c 05 c0 6b 1b 8c27 85 d0 e6 05 fb d0 31 bc 8a a1 04 b7 33 c4 4d86 94 0b 1c 4a fb. Did anyone get anywhere with this?I’m trying to integrate it into something I’ve written so I can send SMS out (the alarm doesn’t have its own sms modem, but I do have one at home).So I have actually been able to attach to the device and receive eventsbut what I don’t like it that takes an exclusive connection to the IP module - meaning I cant use the browser or iParadox.So I wonder if we can’t somehow register as a receiver of events. Paradox has the IPRS7 software, but then I told the panel the ip of my “receiver” if never registered.So I guess my question is, has anyone figured out a passive way of receiving events so that the normal connection methods are still available? I can try either via IPRS7, or connecting programatically. Interesting find with that monitoring software.
I didn’t notice that before. I tried myself and couldn’t connect. However, I suspect it’s because my firmware is older than the min. Perhaps yours is too?Yes, it sucks that only one “thing” can be connected at a time, but there’s nothing you can do about that.It would be interesting to see if anyone can get the IPRS7 software working with their alarm. It could provide a unique avenue - although would require a windows box to be up and running all the time.
