MG5050 challenge esp8266 esp32 Wemos D1 mini
Hi everyone,
Noob here trying to hook up my Paradox MG5050 to Home Assistant but failed enough to eventually reach out for help /guidance. I have installed the Paradox Alarm Interface Current version: 3.5.0 Ad-on.
I bought the IP150MQ to see if I can get it to work with my Mosquitto instance and HA, but I could only find port 80 open on it after scanning it with nmap, no port 10000 on this module. When connecting to the IP of the module, I have to enter the Installer pc code: 000000 to get into the module. Once in, I can set the static IP and disable SWAN, that’s it. The firmware on the module is 6.10.10 I disconnected the IP150 from the panel and network and decided not to waste more time on that just yet. And I want to keep the unit stock in case I need to return it to the supplier.
I have a couple of ESP devices around so I decided to try the ESP Serial over IP option. I have tried this with the following devices with no luck: QuinLED-ESP32 ESP8266(LiLon NodeMCU V3) ESP8266 WeMos D1 Mini
Like I say, I'm quite new to this so maybe I have a couple of things completely wrong. I have tried BAUD: 115200 and 9600 and swopping the TR and RX and different code examples and did factory reset on the panel as well as different passwords.
I am currently on the D1 mini setup described below:
Panel Type: MG5050+ Firmware: 1.30 (from what I could see when I was connected to the IP150 before I unplugged it)

I'm out of ideas and hoping it's just a small adjustment to get this working. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Nope, I chose life... I went for optocoupler connected to esp32 with a 2 relay Sonoff does what I need it to do.
