Honeywell Ademco Vista Alarm Panels Plugin via AD2USB
Plugin for basic integration with the Honeywell Ademco Vista panels via the AD2USB keypad emulator.
Current Version
2.2
Compatible Products
All the Honeywell Ademco Vista alarm panels that AD2USB supports.
NOTE: This plugin uses the GOTO command to switch between partitions when more than one partition is used. If the panel doesn't support this command, the plugin won't work correctly for more than one partition. From what I've seen, the only panels with two or more partitions that don't support this command are the SE panels.
Installation
- Download these files on your computer:
- D_VistaAlarmPanel1.json
- D_VistaAlarmPanel1.xml
- D_VistaAlarmPartition1.json
- D_VistaAlarmPartition1.xml
- I_VistaAlarmPanel1.xml
- L_VistaAlarmPanel1.lua
- S_AlarmPartition2.xml
- S_VistaAlarmPanel1.xml
- On the Vera dashboard, go to MiOS Developers -> Luup Files and upload all 8 files you downloaded.
- If Restart Luup after upload is checked, uncheck it, then click GO.
- Go to Create Device; in the UpnpDevFilename field enter D_VistaAlarmPanel1.xml and in the Description field enter Honeywell Ademco Vista (or any name you want). Press the Create Device button.
- Restart Luup by clicking the curving arrows in upper right corner in the dashboard.
- In the created device's control panel open the Advanced tab and enter the number of active partitions in the NumPartitions input field. If this field doesn't exist, reload the web page.
Warning: The plugin might not work correctly if this number is incorrect.
- Restart Luup. After restart a device for each partition is created.
- In the partition's control panel, open the Advanced tab and in the KeypadAddresses input field enter the addresses of the keypads assigned to this partition. If there are more than one keypad for a partition, enter the addresses of each keypad separated by a comma (e.g. If the keypads at addresses 17, 19 and 23 are assigned to this partition, the KeypadAddresses will be 17,19,23). Repeat this for all the partition devices.
NOTE: If the KeypadAddresses field doesn't exist, reload the web page.
WARNING: The plugin won't work correctly if these variables aren't correctly set.
- Restart Luup.
- Assign and configure the serial port to the panel device: in the panel device's control panel, open the Settings tab, click on the I/O button to open the Serial Port configuration panel and select the serial port connected to the AD2USB. Set the Baud to 115200.
- Restart Luup.
- Enjoy using the plugin. :)
Usage
NOTE: It's not recommended to assign the AD2USB to any partition. This means that it shouldn't be set on the first/default address (e.g. 16 for Vista 20P), which is not configurable.
On the dashboard
Te panel device displays its version and the faulted zones. The partitions device display the current arming status. Here are the statuses' real equivalents:
| Displayed status | Real status |
|---|---|
| Ready | DISARMED, READY TO ARM |
| NotReady | DISARMED, with one or more FAULTED zones |
| Armed | AWAY |
| ArmedInstant | MAXIMUM |
| Stay | STAY |
| StayInstant | INSTANT |
| Night | NIGHT-STAY |
The panel device control panel
Clear Message clears the status messages generated by the plugin in the status box (upper-right corner of the dashboard).
The partition device control panel
Bypass zones
To bypass a zone enter the zone number in the Bypass Zones input box. To bypass several zones, enter the zone numbers separated by a comma. To bypass all the zones leave the box empty or enter all.
Chime Mode
This activates or deactivates chime mode for the current partition. The button will turn green if it's active.
Store
When a partition is in the NotReady state, the plugin will attempt to send the star(*) command to get the faulted zones. If there are two or more active partitions the plugin will use the GOTO command to switch to the partition the command was issued for. This command requires a user code valid for that partition. The plugin stores the user code for every partition in an internal variable to use it ONLY for getting the faulted zones (all the other commands still require the PIN code). If no previous command has been given to this partition, no PIN code will be available, which means that it won't be possible to get the faulted zones. This is what the Store button is for. If you see that a partition is in the NotReady state, but the faulted zones list is empty, enter the PIN code in the PIN code field and store it. After this, you should see the faulted zones list being populated.
Debugging
By default, the plugin logs only the important events, like the alarms and errors. To enable verbose logging for this plugin open the Advanced tab in the panel device's Control Panel and set DebugMode to 1, then restart Luup.
How to see the logs:
You can find how to see the logs here:

It is recommended to look only for the log entries with levels 01 (errors) and 50 (Lua):
tail -f LuaUPnP.log | grep '^01\|^50'
