Re: Visonic Powermax Powerlink protocol description

After setting the bypass, request the actual status (to determine success) by sending A2 00 00 20 00 ... Got it to work! Thanks again... sending the A2 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 43 replies the 9 'status' messages. I used the A5 09 03 for zone open/closed, but had to use A5 09 02. (Not sure if t...

Re: Visonic Powermax Powerlink protocol description

Thanks! I'll try to test this a bit deeper tonight.

I sent the A2000020.. which seems to respond with A50006 (and their not all 00's) you think I could use the same 'zone template' as on A50002?

(For the record, the success determination of the Bypass setting itself works fine with A50906.)

Re: Visonic Powermax Powerlink protocol description

Hi all! Has anyone maybe noticed that if the Pmax Pro is turned into 'bypass enabled' mode the A50903 message which the Pmax returns to a status update request (A2) is always filled with zero's (all zones closed)?? I'm still working (with just to little spare time) on an Raspberry Python app which c...

Re: Visonic Powermax Powerlink protocol description

Got it to work by just writing

Code: Select all

l = len(MSG)
ser.write(MSG2[0:l])
Getting zone events and got it to Arm / Disarm.

Work in progress :)

Re: Visonic Powermax Powerlink protocol description

Hi all, At the first page of this forum, there is a python example of calculating the checksum. I try to get a response from my Powermax Plus by sending the init message (PM has PowerLink enrolled), but I don't get any response from the PowerMax. (In this example I added the prefix / checksum and po...

Re: Visonic Powermax Interface (Windows) application

Hi Bart, I connected Raspberry (/ttyAMA0) to Windows Usb FTD and send some of your messages from the command window. These messages I could read in my Python raspberry 'read' script. Test passed, COM port / Laptop connection seem to work decent! The DAQ Log by the way does not show anything. The err...

Re: Visonic Powermax Interface (Windows) application

Hi Bart, I own a Powermax + with GSM module. I've been reading on the PowerLink 'emulation' topics around the Visonic domoticaforum. Tried to connect with Raspberry PI and Serial USB stick (FTD chip) and achieved to send some messages and to receive some (no real communication yet). After this littl...
