I am trying to intercept arm/disarm messages from my A2PI so I can execute http post to enable/disable my cameras. I ready that I should use Ser2Sock calls because the /dev/ttyAMA0 port is already used by the web app but can use whatever method works. I have used python sample code to try and connect to the SocketDevice and read the output messages. I am running python right on the A2Pi and also am using SSL. The program runs but not I don't get any output. I tried telnet {IP} 10000 from a remote computer on the same network and it does not receive any messages either. Is the SSL cert preventing output? Not sure what I am doing wrong. However, the web app picks up all alarm panel messages.
Thanks!
