DSC Alarm Binding

RSStephens edited this page Dec 5, 2014 · 27 revisions

This is an OpenHAB binding for a DSC PowerSeries Alarm System utilizing the EyezOn Envisalink 3/2DS interface or the DSC IT-100 RS-232 interface.

The DSC PowerSeries Alarm System is a popular do-it-yourself home security system, which can be monitored and controlled remotely through a standard web-browser or mobile device.

The OpenHAB DSC Alarm binding provides connectivity to the DSC Alarm panel via a TCP socket connection to the EyesOn Envisalink 3/2DS interface or a RS-232 serial connection to the DSC IT-100 interface.

The latest snapshot version of the DSC Alarm binding can be downloaded from the cloudbees page.

Binding Configuration

There are some configuration settings that you can set in the openhab.cfg file. Include the following in your openhab.cfg.

############################## DSC Alarm Binding #####################################
#
# DSC Alarm port name for a serial connection.
# Valid values are e.g. COM1 for Windows and /dev/ttyS0 or /dev/ttyUSB0 for Linux.
# Leave undefined if not connecting by serial port.
#dscalarm:serialPort=

# DSC Alarm baud rate for serial connections.
# Valid values are 9600 (default), 19200, 38400, 57600, and 115200.
# Leave undefined if using default.
#dscalarm:baud=

# DSC Alarm IP address for a TCP connection. 
# Leave undefined if not connecting by network connection.
#dscalarm:ip=

# DSC Alarm password for logging into the EyezOn Envisalink 3/2DS interface.
# Leave undefined if using default.
#dscalarm:password=

# DSC Alarm user code for logging certain DSC Alarm commands.
# Leave undefined if using default.
#dscalarm:usercode=

# DSC Alarm poll period.
# Amount of time elapsed in minutes between poll commands sent to the DSC Alarm.
# Valid values are 1-15 (Default = 1).
# Leave undefined if using default.
#dscalarm:pollPeriod=

The primary setting will be the IP address of the EyezOn Envisalink 3/2DS interface or the serial port name of the DSC IT-100. The password, usercode, baud, and pollPeriod settings are optional. If not set, the binding will resort to the system defaults.

Item Binding

In order to bind to the DSC Alarm system you can add items to an item file using the following format:

dscalarm="DSCAlarmDeviceType:<partitionID>:<zoneID>:DSCAlarmItemType"

The DSCAlarmDeviceType indicates one of four device types of the DSC Alarm System. They consist of the following:

DSC Alarm Device Type Description
panel The basic representation of the DSC Alarm System.
partition Represents a controllable area within a DSC Alarm system.
zone Represents a physical device such as a door, window, or motion sensor.
keypad Represents the central administrative unit.

The parameters partitionID and zoneID will depend on the DSC Alarm device type. A DSC Alarm device type of 'partition' requires a partitionID in the range 1-8, which will depend on how your DSC Alarm system is configured. A DSC Alarm device type of 'zone' requires zoneID in the range 1-64, as well as the partitionID.

The DSCAlarmItemType maps the binding to an openHAB item type. Here are the supported DSC Alarm Item Types:

DSC Alarm Item Type openHAB Item Type Description
panel_connection Number Panel connection status.
panel_message String Event messages received from the DSC Alarm system.
panel_system_error String DSC Alarm system error.

Lost security codes

If you do not have your DCS alarm system master code and/or installer code but you bought an Envisalink then you might still be able to get the codes and thus use this binding. The Envisalink's TPI (TPI = Third Party Interface) can be used to find the codes using a brute-force attack (simply trying all the codes in an automated fashion).

An open-source tool to perform this work for you can be found as part of the larger GUCEF project here: https://github.com/LiberatorUSA/GUCEF/tree/master/tools/DCSBruteInstaller This tool should be able to crack the master code and the installer code on your DCS with Envisalink. It has been tested against a DCS PC1555 and successfully retrieved the codes.
