Aritech Alarm Internet Dialler

Cheers Ozmo that worked . I am getting messages now. I have 3 keypads on my panel and a panel extender for extra zones. its shows on the alarm that it has found 4 keypads . rpk id 1 has an id , rpk2 and rpk 3 also , but rpk 4 (Arduino i think has no id ? when i leave the engineer log it says on the Arduino screen Connection closed. Is there a way to set the Id of the Arduino in the code or is it assigned by the panel ?

Changed the code as you said but no joy. it will relay the screen as long as i'm in assign id menu but if i leave then i loose connection.i used an arduino mega to print out the log and i see it registers the arduino to ID#2..... here is the screen grab of the log

Does the unique serial number of the keypad show up in the log .Maybe i could use it in the arduino , as i have a keypad that i do not use.

I really like this project! I just finished "refurbishing" all the yellowed parts of the alarm system by spray painting them.

Every item can be taken apart completely so repainting is easy and it makes everything fresh again.

Now that the alarm is up and running again I would really like to do this project!

I would like to use the ESP version but unfortunately I've run into errors when trying to verify/compile from Arduino IDE.

The steps I took:

1.install latest version of Arduino IDE 1.8.19

2.Installed the ESP boards with the following link: hXXps://raw.githubusercontent.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/gh-pages/package_esp32_index.json

3.Installed library: esp32_https_server by FHessel v1.0.0

4.Installed library: ESP8266 and ESP32 OLED driver by ThingPulse v4.3.0

5.Only touched the IP address setting and WiFi setting in Config.h

Initially when trying to verify/compile I would receive an error hwcrypto/sha.h could not be found. After googling for a while I read that modifying the file httpconnection.hpp: include "hwcrypto/sha.h" should be changed to include "esp32/sha.h"

Now compiling goes a bit further but I'm receiving all kinds of UART errors which I have absolutely no clue what to do about :(

I really hope someone could push me in the right direction as adding the ESP to the alarm system would be a very nice upgrade!

Really appreciate it! Thanks a lot!

Only found this thread today, great project and thanks for a the time and effort put into it. I've a HKC panel does the esp32 code work for this with the Alexa intergration? Would be great to trigger lights and things when the alarm goes off.

If Arduino is the only option for HKV and email no longer works is there any other way to send a notification maybe connect to a different WiFi Alexa enabled door sensor so you get a push notification the alarm has activated.

I have the Arduino side up and running with an ethernet shield and can connect to the web keypad but have had no luck connecting the web keypad. It just displays "Not Connected" I've attached a couple of picutre if anyone can see anything wrong with the circuit I built as I'm very much an amateur. I've run through the add and ID devices step too with no luck. It just says RKP 2 has no ID.

Thanks for the pointer toward RS485, I would probably have saved myself a lot of time and confusion if I'd posted here for help sooner! What I have is working now and seems stable, I'll stick with it unless I ever get around to doing a v2 of the board.

> That's great you got it working, its a little like my circuit(link) except I don't use one wire on the esp side but separate RX and TX.

I definitely started with your circuit, but thought at first I wouldn't need similar as the voltages from the panel and expected by the ESP32 were the same (3.3V). I ended up back with something very similar after reading about the risk of short circuit when connecting the RX/TX wires.

> it erroneously sends an extra half width bit at the start of the first byte of some, but not all, messages - took me ages to spot that - nasty.

Ouch!

I recall seeing the problem with the lack of 9-bit UART on the ESP32 (back when I thought I was buying a SecureWatch panel), frustrating to have hardware serial on the ESP32 but not being able to use it.

If I find some time in the future the next thing I was going to look at was to add mobile backup if WiFi is down. I have a basic push & SMS notifications via a cloud backend, but ideally I'd like something to ring my phone if an alarm goes off (too easy to miss notification on phone), and something that can still notify me if the power goes off.

Hi Ozmo,

This is a really great project. I've just had a new HKC panel (SW1070/SW12070) installed and have the HKC app to remotely monitor/set/unset the panel. The issue of couse is, that this convenience comes at a monthly cost (justified by the lads at HKC by the cost of providing the comms and cloud service, and software upgrades blah, blah blah). There was a time when their focus was on building panels and making money on those. Now you pay for the panel, and over 10 years pay another 200%-300% of the initial cost for a notification service (of course you can choose not to have it, but being able to reset the panel remotely is useful - though not at the cost of a Netflix subscription per month !!)

Your project is a potential workaround, and once the functionality is all incuded, would be a much more cost effective alternative.

Enough preample, here's the techie question bit:

I'm wondering whether the keypad bus is the same bus that is presented to the digi board. If it is, then I think the design could be condensed down to an ESP based chip placed on a new daughterboard with a small number of additional components. If that were the case, the potential would be there to use some free online services to provide at least the same useful features as the paid service provides (acknowledging that some services such as firmware upgrades should not be replicated). I only just have the App so, hopefully after a few months I will know whats useful to me (right now I'm thinks the state of each zone, the logs, the ability to set/unset, the ability to see the current panel state ).

It's a pity we are at the start of the summer, because this sounds like a good winter time project.... I'm book-marking for now, but intend coming back to this later in the year.

Well done. The work you've done thus far is really great showing that in principle it can be done.

Has anyone gotten this running on a SW-1070? I'm confused as it has four ports for the RKP, + - A B.
