Hello,

I have an AD2USB connected to a Vista 20P panel. I'm running the latest version of the Keypad App, 2.0.10. I also have the latest firmware, 2.2a.8.8 installed.

I'm trying to debug my setup with OpenHAB. I'm noticing from the log that some EXP messages don't get received. See the below:

11/18/2017 7:21:36 PM [10000001000000003A--],008,[f70000f71008001c08020000000000],"****DISARMED**** Ready to Arm "

As you can see, the EXP message "!EXP:09,02,01", which is the Garage Entry, gets picked up. However, the corresponding, "!EXP:09,02,00" message is missing. As well, there is no "!EXP:09,01,01" message for the Garage Motion, only the "!EXP:09,01,00" message saying that the zone is OK.

I also sometimes get "!EXP:09,05,02". I thought the only allowed values for the third set of digits was 01 and 00. The AlarmDecoder binding in OpenHAB won't parse the message with "02".

Here are my settings:

Any ideas?

Thanks

Does the raw stream (straight connection to device, not through some other service) have the data? If not, email support for firmware issues.

Thanks,
Kevin

Ok. I've connected the AD2USB directly to my Pi running OpenHAB. It appears the messages are getting through now. I don't have the raw output but the OpenHAB log shows the EXP zones opening and closing as expected.

Previously I had connected the AD2USB to my PC. I was running the Keypad App and serving the output through a socket connection to OpenHAB. Perhaps the problem lies in the Keypad App?

Ultimately having the AD2USB connected directly to the Pi is how I want to be running things. However, it makes debugging/development a bit more cumbersome.

Hooking directly to the pi is even easier to debug IMO. Just open the "serial port" once you shut down the services using it, and you can connect to the raw stream.

Ok. I'll give it a try.

Still getting the following message: !EXP:09,05,02. Why 02?

You'll have to email support to determine that one, can't help you with firmware here

Thanks Kevin.

I did read the raw output from the serial port. Sometimes there is no !EXP:09,05,02 message, only the !EXP:09,05,00 message.

What is the email address for support. Can't seem to find it on your site.

thanks
