# Satel Integra Alarm System Binding

The Satel Integra Alarm System allows openHAB to connect to your alarm system via TCP/IP network with ETHM-1/ETHM-1 Plus module installed, or via RS-232 serial port with INT-RS/INT-RS Plus module installed. For ETHM-1 the binding uses integration protocol, so it must be enabled and properly configured. Also it is always a good idea to update module/mainboard firmware to the latest version. For ETHM-1 and INT-RS modules it is a must. For "Plus" modules however it is not required.

In order to use encryption with ETHM-1/ETHM-1 Plus, Java Runtime Environment must support 192 bit AES keys. Oracle Java by default supports only 128 bit keys, therefore "Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files" (opens new window) must be installed. OpenJDK supports unlimited AES keys by default (but OpenJDK is sometimes discouraged for openHAB).

More details and all documentation about Integra system you can find on their site: satel.pl (opens new window)

# Supported Things

This binding supports following thing types:

Thing type Description
ethm-1 Ethernet bridge, supports ETHM-1 (opens new window) and ETHM-1 Plus (opens new window) modules
int-rs RS-232 bridge, supports INT-RS (opens new window) and INT-RS Plus (opens new window) modules
partition Set of zones representing some physical area or logical relation
zone A physical device: reed switch, motion sensor or a virtual zone
output An output defined in the system
shutter Two outputs that control a roller shutter, one for "up" direction, another one for "down"
system A virtual thing describing general status of the alarm system
event-log A virtual thing that allows reading records from the alarm system event log
atd-100 Wireless temperature detector ATD-100 (opens new window)

# Discovery

The binding discovers all devices (partitions, zones) defined in the system, but bridge things must be configured manually.

# Thing Configuration

# ethm-1 bridge

You can configure the following settings for this bridge:

Name Required Description
host yes Host name or IP addres of ETHM-1 module.
port no TCP port for the integration protocol, defaults to 7094.
timeout no Timeout value in milliseconds for connect, read and write operations, defaults to 5000 (5secs).
refresh no Polling interval in milliseconds, defaults to 5000 (5secs). As of version 2.03 ETHM-1 Plus firmware the module disconnects after 25 seconds of inactivity. Setting this parameter to value greater than 25000 will cause inability to correctly communicate with the module.
userCode no Security code of the user in behalf of all operations will be executed. If empty, only read operations are allowed.
encryptionKey no Encryption key used to encrypt data sent and received. If empty, communication is not encrypted.
encoding no Encoding for all the texts received from the module.
extCommands no Check this option to enable extended commands, supported by ETHM-1 Plus and newer versions of ETHM-1. Enabled by default, turn off in case of communication timeouts.

Example:

Bridge satel:ethm-1:home [ host="192.168.0.2", refresh=1000, userCode="1234", encryptionKey="abcdefgh" ]

NOTE: There can be only one client connected to ETHM-1 module. It does not accept new connections if there is already a connection established. In case you have troubles connecting to the system using this module, please make sure there is no other client (for example installed 1.x version of the binding) already connected to it.

# int-rs bridge

You can configure the following settings for this bridge:

Name Required Description
port yes Serial port connected to the module.
timeout no Timeout value in milliseconds for connect, read and write operations, defaults to 5000 (5secs).
refresh no Polling interval in milliseconds, defaults to 5000 (5secs).
userCode no Security code of the user in behalf of all operations will be executed. If empty, only read operations are allowed.
encoding no Encoding for all the texts received from the module.
extCommands no Check this option to enable extended commands, supported by version 2.xx of INT-RS. Enabled by default, turn off in case of communication timeouts.

Example:

Bridge satel:int-rs:home [ port="/dev/ttyS0", refresh=1000, userCode="1234" ]

# partition

# Migration from 1.x version of the binding

# binary items

In openHAB all channels have strict types, which means you cannot use other type then designated for a channel. In Satel binding all binary items are now of 'Switch' type. Using other item types, like 'Contact' is not possible in this version of the binding. For this reason, when migrating 1.x item files, besides changing binding configuration for each item, you must replace all 'Contact' items to 'Switch' type.

# 'module' channels

In version 2.x of the binding all 'module' channels have been removed. You can easily replace them with the following configuration:

# satel.items

Switch MODULE_CONNECTED "Connection status" <network> (Satel)
DateTime MODULE_CONNECTED_SINCE "Connection established at [%1$tF %1$tR]" <time> (Satel)
Number MODULE_CONNECTION_ERRORS "Connection errors [%d]" (Satel)

# satel.rules

rule "Satel bridge changed to ONLINE"
when
    Thing "satel:ethm-1:home" changed to ONLINE
then
    MODULE_CONNECTED.postUpdate(ON)
    MODULE_CONNECTED_SINCE.postUpdate(new DateTimeType())
    MODULE_CONNECTION_ERRORS.postUpdate(0)
end

rule "Satel bridge received OFFLINE"
when
    Thing "satel:ethm-1:home" received update OFFLINE
then
    if (MODULE_CONNECTED.state == ON) {
        MODULE_CONNECTED.postUpdate(OFF)
        MODULE_CONNECTED_SINCE.postUpdate(NULL)
        MODULE_CONNECTION_ERRORS.postUpdate(1)
    } else {
        val connErrors = MODULE_CONNECTION_ERRORS.state as DecimalType
        MODULE_CONNECTION_ERRORS.postUpdate(connErrors.intValue + 1)
    }
end

# Security considerations

# User for openHAB integration

To control Integra partitions and outputs, you need to provide security code of a user in behalf of all those operations will be executed. It is highly recommended to use a separate user for openHAB integration with only required access rights set in Integra configuration, like access to certain partitions, etc. This allows you to distinguish actions made by openHAB and a user using Integra panel, also it will block unwanted operations in case someone breaks into your local network.

# Disarming and clearing alarms

Although this binding allows you to configure disarming a partition and clearing alarms for a partition, this should be used only in cases when security is not the priority. Don't forget both these operations can be executed in openHAB without specifying a user code, which is required to disarm or clear alarms using Integra panel. Consider adding a keypad in your sitemap to temporarily change user code to execute sensitive operations. You can find such keypad in the Full Example section.
