| | 19 | == Installation == |
| | 20 | What you need: |
| | 21 | * A Powermax+ (other powermax variants may work too) |
| | 22 | * A Visonic Powermax+ RS232 Interface |
| | 23 | * A serial to USB converter that is recognized by vera |
| | 24 | * The 4 plugin files (I_Powermax.xml, D_Powermax.json, S_Powermax.xml, D_Powermax.xml) |
| | 25 | |
| | 26 | Howto: |
| | 27 | * Attach the RS232 Interface to the Powermax. |
| | 28 | * Connect the RS232 Interface to the !USB/Serial and that to Vera. |
| | 29 | * Upload the plugin files; create a device using the files and explain the device to use the !USB/Serial port |
| | 30 | * In the Powermax device advanced control tab specify the Powermax zones you would like to have in Vera in the variable altid in form of "Z01,Z02,Z03,Z11". After reload zone devices should become visible. |
| | 31 | * Enter the installer mode on the Powermax panel. Go to the menu where you define a Powerlink device. Activate the Powerlink device. This should trick Powermax into believing it is talking to a Powerlink (but it is Vera). |
| | 32 | * Now events from Powermax sensors should be visible in Vera. |
| | 33 | * To arm/disarm the system you must set your access code in the Powermax control tab |
