Paradox Alarm Plugin

This page not intentionally left blank, it's just not finished yet  :)

Introduction

The Paradox Alarm plugin is a Luup component that connects Vera to a Paradox Security Alarm panel (DGP-848, EVO-48, EVO-192 or Spectra) via their Home Automation interface (Paradox PRT3) over USB.

Through this interface, events occurring within the Alarm Panel are exposed to Vera including the status of any attached Doors, Windows, Motion Sensors. Additionally, the interface exposes the current Armed State, Stay Armed State and whether the Alarm is in Breach.

Each of these is exposed as a Motion Sensor to Vera, so that standard Scene events (Lights, Notifications, etc) can be established based upon events occurring within the Alarm Panel.
