depending on the firmware on your powermax, you might have to discover the (faked) "powerlink" using the installer menu

I am back with internet: according to this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZpPvuiFj-Q you need to connect the powerlink to the upper port, but I don't know the pinout of this port, there might (in fact i am quite sure) many serial IO on this header, did you find a complete description of th...

oups.....
I thought you where using a powermax pro and not a powermax plus....

It look like the protocol is compatible on the powermax plus, but I don't know where to plug it, I never tried it and there might be some bug..........

still away from internet so sorry for the lag.......

please check 1st page of the post you will clearly see the only header working : the PC/IP port a plug 2x5 header with precise pinout other header won't work

sorry to tell you that but are you sure you connected it to the right port (PC/IP) and not another one (the serial port for example) that works with the PC software.
can you send us a picture of your setup ?

tweaking require a bit more work......
you clearly see 5000 is your best bet....
try going from 4000 to 6000 with 100 intervals and see if things improve (checksum are OK and packet buffer is bigger but not too big)

send me the log when you see your 12 byte length packet with timeout = 5000

the log should show you incoming data such as DEBUG: [Sat Feb 7 04:56:57 2015 packetManager:0272]Timeout while waiting packet: assumig packet is complete...... DEBUG: [Sat Feb 7 04:56:57 2015 calculChecksum:0150]checksum: 0088 DEBUG: [Sat Feb 7 04:56:57 2015 deFormatBuffer:0182]checksum OK DEBUG: [S...

by the way to all of you using WRT703N: 1) YOU DON'T need serial converter 3.3 to 5V, connect directly the serial from any usb to serial to the pmax and it will work (as long as you don't connect VCC, Rx Tx and Gnd only) 2) wrt703N can be powered form 3.7V so why using a converter when you can use a...

did you get the last binaries from:
https://github.com/viknet365/pmaxd/tree/master/bin ?

you should have a timeout section in pmaxd.conf, try changing the timeout until you don't get "packet not correctly formated" errors

try instead if I remember correctly it's better to have more than two

kill pmaxd and testpmaxd if used, then run pmaxd -fvvvvvvv (7 v if you count)
then launch on another terminal pmaxd -fvvvvvvv
and semnd me the full log + the content of your pmaxd.conf file.

don't expect any answer soon, i am moving and might be away of the internet for a few days.......

for those who want to test the daemon without having a working web interface, you can always run this command: this broadcast an xpl message that should arm-home the alarm (also work with arm-away and disarm)

try running xPL_Logger to see if you get something on the xpl_hub, you can also use xpl_send to send arm or disarm command directly from command line
you can also use xpl clock to test your xpl setup

no you are not so far :=)

pmaxd use xpl to communicate with the web page, so just make sure xplhub is working and retry /www/cgi-bin/jsongetxplstate.cgi

don't try to go further until it work.
