    33 
    44Visonic produces the Powermax alarm panel series (!PowerMax, !PowerMax+, !PowerMaxExpress, !PowerMaxPro and !PowerMaxComplete). This plugin allows you to control the alarm panel via Vera (arm/disarm) and allows you to use the !PowerMax sensors (movement, door contact, ...) within Vera. For example, you can use !PowerMax sensors in Vera scenes.

    5252== Installation == 
     53 
     54=== Setting up a serial connection === 
     55[[Image(powermax_serial.png, right)]] 
     56* Connect a USB to serial cable between the !PowerMax and Vera. Preferably use a converter with an FTDI chipset for this. 
     57* Under 'Apps' > 'Develop Apps' > 'Serial Port Configuration' the serial connection should now be visible. Make sure the baud rate is set to 9600 (which is the default). 
    5358[[Image(panel_settings_config.png, 50%, right)]] 
    54 ''Manual process, until released via the app store'' 
     59=== Configuring for first use === 
     60* Install the plugin from the [https://apps.mios.com/plugin.php?id=1028 MiOS Marketplace] 
     61  * After installation the start-up of the device will fail, since no serial port has been selected yet. 
     62* Go to the 'Settings' tab of the panel 
     63  * Select the serial port under 'Communicate using UART' 
     64  * Save changes 
     65* Enroll the Powerlink module 
     66  * On the !PowerMax panel, enroll the Vera as Powerlink. Note that this is done automatically on newer models. If another Powerlink device (or plugin) was enrolled, then that enrollment has to be removed first. Refer to your !PowerMax manual how to do that. 
     67* On start-up of the plugin the notification 'Reading panel settings' should be displayed. This means the plugin is in Powerlink mode and the panel configuration is being read. Depending on the !PowerMax model this can take longer.[[Image(powermax_reading.png, right)]] 
     68  * In case enrollment is not successful the message 'Vera Powerlink not enrolled.' will be displayed and the plugin will switch to Standard Mode. 
     69* Once all settings are read the notification 'Ready for use' will be displayed. 
     70  * At this point the plugin is fully operational. [[Image(powermax_ready.png, right)]] 
     71* Plugin settings can now be set according to desired behavior. 
     72  * See the section [[wiki:WikiStart#Configuration|Configuration]] 
     73 
     74=== Manual plugin update (optional) === 
     75''This is only applicable if the plugin is '''NOT''' downloaded from the MiOS Marketplace.'' 
    5576* Upload the plugin files: 
    56   * In the Toolbox section open MiOS Developers >> Luup Files and upload all the files you downloaded. If the Restart Luup after upload check box is checked, uncheck it, and click GO.  
     77  * In the Toolbox section open MiOS Developers >> Luup Files and upload all the files you downloaded. If the Restart Luup after upload check box is un-checked, check it, and click GO.  
    5778* Create the alarm panel device:
