I've been looking at using a ESP32 to provide an interface to a HKC SW8/12. ... is there much work involved?

Here is the Link to ESP32 ported code - the Aritech side works - and displays the Aritech RKP Display on the ESP's i2C LCD.

It's there except for the Webserver side needs to be written (WebSocket::EtherPoll() in the file WebSocket.cpp).. That's the bit you want to provide yourself anyway - I'll post up the schematic later tonight - so let me know how you get on with it



Edit: I put up the schematics and a photo of the Arduino wiring at the above url - you can also see the Aritech RKP displaying on the ESP's display screen. Only a couple resistors had to be changed.

Hi Ozmo,

From your 2 circuit diagrams, is that all you need to connect ESP32 to 4-wires ABCD Aritech Panel?
Is it possible to directly power the ESP32 from the +12V on the panel ... eg with a voltage divider
circuit, or is additional DC-DC converter necessary?
For another project I'm powering a Pi-ZeroW from the Aritech Keypad, but I'm using a 12V-5V USB converter (like a cigarette lighter adaptor)

I made your RKP with Arduino Uno a few years ago, and it worked great..!
(I added a feature to detect 433MHz smoke alarm too)

This time, I would like to just use ESP32 to provide a REST API to the Alarm (eg with aRest.io),
so that I can Arm/Disarm, etc from my home-brew Home Automation system.
I want to be able to set the alarm automatically with "Hey Google, we're going out now (or going to bed now)"

Thanks.
Best regards,
Niall.

You can power the Esp32 from the +12V on the A bus wire- I would use a dc-dc converter to get a nice stable 3.3v rather than a voltage divider as it needs to be very accurate - half a volt fluctuation and the esp could crash - a little more could maybe even fry it. Some ESP32 users put in a 100uF cap also across the 0 and 3.3v power to the ESP32 to give it power when it needs it.

I was considering some home automation - and I was considering what this guys suggests - an ESP32 and Amazon Echo - as it means you are not (as) relient on the cloud (just amazons services) - and no monthly subs to pay -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMpWQ4znTqQ


Very random use of Home Automation - but I like the use of the ESP32 Library to bypass the requirement for a paid-for iot website that might not always be there..

Well done Ozzo, looks good.
I did something similar 2 years ago with aritech 10 zone panel cs450 and has been working fine since
I Connected the 16 input/outputs through resistors into the  leonardo arduino inputs, Think they were 1k
eg:
int input0 = 0;  //D0 GREE Armed/UnArmed
int input1 = 1;  //D1 YELL Alarm
int input2 = 2;  //D2 BLUE P.A.
int input3 = 3;  //D3 ORNG FIRE
int input4 = 5;  //D5 RED  Internal Siren
int input5 = 7;  //D7 BLCK Ext Bell
int input6 = 10; //D10 WHT Doorbell
int input7 = 11 ; //D11 BRN OR testswitch for input0
int Led1  =  13;
int analog0 = A0; //A0 W/O Entry/exit
int analog1 = A1; //A1 O/W Hall+lounge
int analog2 = A2; //A2 W/B Cloak+Laundry
int analog3 = A3; //A3 B/W Patio+Kit
int analog4 = A4; //A4 W/G Bed123+enS
int analog5 = A5; //A5 G/W Bed4+Bath
int analog6 = A8; //D6 W/B PIR Hall+Kit
int analog7 = A9; //D8 B/W PIR Patio

When their values changed providing input 0 was low (armed) it sent an email from smtp.upcmail.ie to me@eircom.net.
This seemed to work fine for a week or 2 but then forgot to send them.

I then made it that everytime the hall door opened I got an email so that kept it awake.

I also bought 100 texts from txtlocal.co.uk for about £5,
so when outside bell goes on I get a text, showing which sensors are open at the time.
I also get an email showing every sensors state.

I prefer your system of just 6 wires, but my system only requires a resistor on the input.

I ran the ethernet to the panel, as wifi is only another thing to go wrong

For ease I got a piece of veroboard and mounted the pins on it backwards with a resistor on the inputs and the wiring on it. I nomorenails it to the alarm box with the pins sticking out so it is stationary and the ethernet shield just pushes onto it and the leonardo just pushes onto it.

Butchered a 1A usb car cigarette adaptor fed from 12v battery to power it up and grounded the negative.

I coded it so that led13 flashes like a strobe to show that it is alive and when sending an email it goes on for a second or 2. This made it easier to test.

In engineering mode / output test and i make output 0 low, I can go around the house and test the whole alarm, via eircom emails

Ozmo:  Would it be possible, do you think, to run your RKP code on an ESP32 to provide the web-interface for the keypad *and* wire up some of the inputs to the ESP32 and use aRest.io to expose these with a RESTful API...?  I think I'll try that approach anyway because I want to have programmatic access to the inputs without having to connect manually with a browser.  Thanks.

Very random use of Home Automation  :D - but I like the use of the ESP32 Library to bypass the requirement for a paid-for iot website that might not always be there..

Hi Ozmo,  for Home Automation, I use Raspberry Pi 3 with Google Assistant SDK.  For control of devices, I use IFTTT. It's all free of charge, and there's no subscription.  For example, "Hey Google, turn on the lights" will call a user-defined 'web hook' in IFTTT.  The web hook is just a URL to my php script (on an Apache website) running on my Rasp Pi.  And then in the php script, I can do any IOT thing that I want: lights, heating, music, etc, etc.   
I have an ESP32 controlling my immersion (a 30A relay controlling the boiler switch, and one DS18b20 thermometer taped to the side of the tank).  If I say "Hey Google, is there any hot water?", then my PHP script will check the temp of the water using a RESTful API call to the ESP32, and if it's not hot enough, then it will fire the relay to turn on the boiler.  It also creates a linux 'at' command (like cron) to turn off the boiler in 15 minutes.
My goal is to do the same thing for the alarm .. that's why I'm looking to setup a RESTful API interface instead of the browser UI.
Thanks.
Best regards,
Niall.

Hi,
You did that?

hassemulle

Im trying to connect my PC directly to the keypad (not the panel). So far I dont even manage to get the lights going on or anything on the display. It just plays dead.... but it has power.

I am wondering if there is some description of the serial protocol?

Anyone knows how to trigger it to turn on?

Hope to get some help here.

12 vdc to A & B
C & D are TX RX AFAIK

I know, but that does not turn on the lights or put anything on the display... I am also wondering about baudrate and other serial parameters. Im trying to reverse engineer the ozmo code on git towards a protocol description. So far not even the lights on the keypad turn on....

Hi - the best place to see the protocol is indeed in the RKP.cpp file of the project - There are a lot of comments there that should help.

At the top of that file you will see the baud rate - its a really odd one - i think its because its a factor of the crystal used in the keypad.
#define nSerialBaudKP_RX 1953

The project emulates the keypad - your project emulates the panel - so yeah - some translation will be required...

The way it works is the Panel is the Master - it sends out a message (up to about 40 bytes) - there is a header, a command, some text to display, and a checksum. The header contains the message to turn on the display light, leds or sounder etc. The Command byte says eg. to display a message. The Message then follows. The checksum is sum of all the bytes sent as a simple check the message is complete.
The exact code for building the display message (including flashing characters etc) and the calculation of the checksum is all in the RKP.cpp file.
There is a counter in the header - that increments each message - in the rkp response it sends this back so the panel knows the rkp got the message ok -
The RKP response is a very small packet and contains any key that was pressed and any tamper.

The panel resends the message until the rkp replies it got it ok - if the RKP does not receive a message in a second or so - it will hard reset.


Hope that helps - let me know how you connect it electrically to the pc - what voltage level etc.

Great! Thats a real helpfull response!

It would help me a lot if you have some raw data dumps available. So that I have some byte array examples of messages that are comming from the panel (and back from the keypad). Replaying something that works is probably a pretty good first step.

I have a Prolific USB-RS232 cable that I use.

So the baud is 1953 bps?
Other settings are N81?
I see something about 9 databits in the rkp file. 9 databits on a PC.... highly complicated. Anything wordt mentioning on that?

In a later stage I plan to replace my panel with a RPi. That way I can add function like controlling my music collection on the panel, showing which songs are playing etc. and also play gard dog sounds when the alarm is turned on. And much much more.

Remember the counter has to increment each time so the keypad sees its a new message and not a retransmit - and the checksum will change - so just replaying will probably not work...

The aritech is 8N1 bit at that unusual rate 1953 (got by using a scope) - the 9bit protocol is the HKC panel at 1658 baud - it watches out for the first bit being 1 and that signals its the first byte at the start of a message- 9bit is very unusual all right - but its a good solution to get the keypad in sync with the panel.

Remember the voltage is very high so you will need bring it down to a voltage suitable for your usb device - I was able to hook up a USB to TTL Rs232 adapter to the PC and monitor the messages on the wire using a terminal program - using two resistors as a resistor divider to bring down the voltage to 5v. The HTC has the option to encrypt this data but is defaulted off.

hassemulle wrote: »

Sounds good!
The original HKC and Aritech panels though had lots of protection for the cheap wire that was used to wire the house - the voltage is High (12 to 14v) to counteract voltage loses and if you look closely at the connectors on the panel there are zig zag spark gaps to help get rid of voltage spikes that protect the panel. Could be ok without them - but long runs of eg. untwisted alarm cable too close to mains etc could cause random rPi crashes without those protections.

Well, that part I did not find in your code. So I hooked up everything to my CD7201 and tried to get the bytes from the panel to the keypad in my terminal program:

see: www. md5 .nl / pics / ErrorFrames.JPG (new user, cannot post links yet... copy and remove spaces pls)

But I didn't get any data that looked like good data. I expected some ASCII to show up.

Then I checked the baudrate:

see: www. md5 .nl / pics / SerialTrace2.JPG (new user, cannot post links yet... copy and remove spaces pls)

Which give a bit time of 533us -> 1876 bps. Which I tried as well without success.

I have closely examined your code and reverse engineered the meaning of all the bits and bytes. I tried sending that to my (seperate) keypad but except for some humming noices, nothing happened so far. I Even tried randomizing some bytes of which I dont know the meaning of all the bits but that gave no results either.

Any ideas?

ozmo

hassemulle wrote: »

From the screenshot looks like you almost have it.

This is the line that sends back the same counter value that was received - the panel increments this value 0 to 4 each message - the rkp sends it back in the 4 byte reply to ack the message was received ok.
bool bAck = (msgbuf[0] & 0x04) != 0; //required for good comms

Now the tricky part - you mention two keypads... tricky because the line is normally HIGH(12v) and when the rkp is transmitting it pulls the line voltage LOW to send a 1 bit - this means two things - no one keypad must try to hold the line HIGH all the time..
This also means that the signal is inverted TTL from normal RS232.
The transistor circuit I made in post 32 will do both these things - invert the signal and effectively disconnect from the line when not talking to give some other keypad a chance to send a message on the same line.

You should be able see the ASCII if (1) your Terminal software supports Inverted TTL - or (2) you move your connection to the USB device to another point (the other resistor in your divider? - where is hard to say without seeing your setup) or (3) build the circuit linked above- best option. (4) use the circuit and code with an arduino with the debug options turned on - look at code for "QUIET" or "DISPLAY_ALL_PACKETS" comments - these routines will display all the data nicely formatted and decoded on the PC screen in the Arduino Serial Monitor. Let us know how you get on...

ozmo wrote: »

YES!
I missed the fact that the signal was inverted and thought a normal USB-RS232 (12V) could do the trick. Your circuit works great.

I seems that I need to repeat the message for it to stay on the screen.

Going to play with it now!

Just giving this thread a bump for some help; I have made this board (thanks Ozmo) and have it connected to my HKC Securewatch panel, and it gets picked up as a second keyboard no problem. However, I'm encountering this problem, all the time:

All my remote connections trigger a Panel communications fault, and I'm not sure what to look for, to fix it (I can browse via my local network no problem). I've also had no luck getting an email sent (I'm using a Blacknight account) but can't for the life of me get any logging output in the Arduino IDE - what stupid thing am I doing wrong?

1- great - thanks for the feedback.
2- Oh- not seen this - could it be a slow mobile device? or slow network connection affecting it? The aritech may be taking too long downloading the internet message that it misses the time frame to respond to the HKC.
3 - many email servers have very recently moved to https - the arduino is does not have enough memory to do ssl - maybe set up your own local SMTP server - or keep searching for a non ssl smtp?
4 - You need an "Leonardo" (possibly "Mega" should work also but not tried it) or other Arduino with two serial ports - the standard UNO has only one Serial Port - so one for comms to the Aritech and one for comms to the PC.

regards.

Thanks for the reply
2 - could indeed be slow - I had been using a ddns.net hostname for resolution of my broadbands IP, but I'm using a fixed IP address anyways, I seem to get much quicker responses when just using the IP, and the panel doesn't trigger. Would I be correct in assuming it's the HKC panel with the delay, rather than the code on the Arduino
3 - I'm with Vodafone and they recently retired their relay, which is why I used Blacknight - I don't think they require SSL, so I might roll my own with postfix in the meantime, to try it out
4 - Ah, I have been using an Uno, I must pickup a Leonardo to try it out

[Edit] One thing that stumped me for longer than it should have - the Websocket code no longer works with the latest version of Chrome, either on the laptop or mobile device, when I switched to Firefox it works fine, as does Safari

Hi Ozmo,
I'm in the process of building one of these units for a HKC alarm and came across your instructable as i now have a fibre connection and the dialer no longer works, very awesome project by the way.

I have very little experience with arduino and i'm wondering should an e-mail trigger each time the red LED comes on on my main keypad even in engineer mode?

I'm trying to get the e-mails to send but i'm not sure if i'm triggering correctly. I'm programming on a PC and i can't have serial debug running at the same time as the alarm unit is too far away from the PC. I'm using GMX and from what i can see port 587 is non SSL, i have updated the port number in the code but as I said i'm not sure of the RED led triggers in engineer mode.

I'm trying to get the e-mails to send .. I'm using GMX and from what i can see port 587 is non SSL, i have updated the port number in the code...

Hi - thanks for the feedback - yes the Arduino looks only at the alarm state as reported by the keypad red led state - and should send an email each time it sees a transition from off to on - and wont send another until the led goes off and on again.
From link 587 does appear to be the non SSL port for that service - so that looks ok.. There needs to be a username and password entered into the config also.

You could try installing SMTP4Dev on your laptop and setting the Arduino to use that IP? Its a good simple test SMTP server that doesnt really send emails - just displays them.

UrsusMaritimus

Hi Ozmo,

Thanks for getting back to me, i have seen the UNO try to send the mail monitoring port 587 on my loacal network using SMTP4Dev as suggested but no joy with GMX.

It tries to send a mail on resetting the unit but no joy on seeing a red alarm light from the RKP. I have tried 2x Uno's, one a Leonardo the other not, with the same result on both units.

Looking at bit more at GMX it looks like port 587 is STARTTLS.

Hi,
Is it possible to use a Arduino nano ( with a ethernet shield ) instead of a Arduino R3 Uno ?

Can I port the code straight across ? ( I understand the connections might be slightly different )

I see there is also code available for the ESP32 ...
It says the code is "Note: this is a work in progress" does anyone have this code verified working ?

thanks

The nano with ATmega328 written on the main chip should be compatible - the other Nano type doesn't have enough memory space - ... Wouldn't be huge saving though as an Arduino can be got for as low as 5 to 10 euros and you would still need to wire it somehow to the ethernet shield - I see there's a few ethernet shields on Adverts at the moment for 6 & 10 euros if that's any use to you...

bgengine1

thanks for the response,

I only mentioned the Nano ... as a I have one already and it's shield,

If I had to buy something for then I think I'd probably go for the ESP32 .. but am just wondering if this code has been proved out and if there is much work left to complete the code ?

It says the code is "Note: this is a work in progress" does anyone have this code verified working ?

Hi,

I'm trying to use the ESP32 code for my project .

I have a Wemos D1 Mini that I plan on using,

when I setup the Arduino IDE and compile the code I get an error ( I have the board set to "LOLIN( WEMOS) D1 R2 & mini") :

1. Is the Wemos d1 mini ok to use for this project ?

2. Any ideas on the error , I suspect I am missing a library(s) ?
- I plan on Commenting out the parts that display to the 'D-duino-32' .. is there other part I will have to change ?

all suggestions most welcome ..

That's not a file used by the system - not seen it before.

But anyways the ESP branch is not competed - I got it as far as making the hardware (its 3.3volt vs arduino 5volt) and communicating with the panel (that works) - but I could not find an ESP32 Wifi drivers/library that supported web sockets - thats required for instant updates to the mobile phone web page - or SSL to support the new Email servers - main reason for using ESP32.
I might revisit it again - but right now - the Arduino UNO/Mega/Leonardo and clones are only one tested working. Thanks.
