**First testing release** of a [Homey app](https://homey.app/a/au.com.aritech.ats/test/) that integrates Aritech / ATS **Advisor Advanced** alarm panels (IP based) over your local network. Monitor and control your panel directly from Homey: arm and disarm areas, follow area and zone status in real time, and build Flows around your security system. > This is an unofficial, community-developed app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or supported by Aritech or KGS (Kidde Global Services). ## **Features** - **Arm / disarm areas** : full arm and part-arm, mapped to Homey’s native alarm state. - **Live status** : area and zone state pushed in real time (COS events). - **Alarm indicators** : intrusion, fire, tamper, panic, medical and duress. - **Area readiness** : ready to arm, open zones, zone faults and inhibited zones. - **Signalling state** : internal siren, external siren, strobe, buzzer and isolated zones, hidden from the device tile but available for Flows and Insights. - **Flow cards** : triggers, conditions and actions for arming, force-arm, night-arm, inhibiting/uninhibiting zones and checking whether an area can be armed. - **Repair** : reconfigure a paired device (host/port/credentials) without removing it. - **Optional per-device debug logging** , off by default. ## **Example Flows** ![example-flows](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/e/8ef49ee7c11391ffbf857456593c4b9297c276b5.png) What these Flows do, top to bottom: - **Arm when the house empties** : the last person leaves and the area is armed. A second Flow switches to night mode when the last person goes to sleep. - **Report a bypassed zone** : the area trigger passes the zone number and name along, so this single Flow reports every zone of the panel, including zones that were never added as a device. - **Lighting from a detector** : the office PIR turns the lights on after dark, and off again once its motion alarm has been clear for fifteen minutes. A detector that has guarded the house for years doubles as a presence sensor. - **Bypass a nuisance zone, then restore it** : the meter cupboard houses the panel itself, so opening it while the area is armed alerts everyone who is away of a possible sabotage attempt. While the area is disarmed the same contact is simply bypassed, so it cannot block the next arming, and it is restored the moment it closes. ## **Requirements** - An Aritech ATS Advisor Advanced panel with a network (IP) connection. - The **automation / IP protocol enabled** on the panel (installer/license). - The panel **encryption key** and a login: - PIN for **x500** panels, or - username and password for **x700 “everon”** panels (`ATSxxxxA-IP-MM`). ## **Tested hardware** The app has only ever run against an **ATS1500**. That is a testing limitation rather than a known incompatibility. Everything else is written from the protocol implementation, not from experience: - Other **x500** models share the same protocol and PIN login, so they are expected to behave identically. - **x700 “everon”** panels take a different path: account login, an extra `startMonitor` handshake, PBKDF2 key derivation and 60-byte log entries instead of 70. That code exists but has never met real hardware. **Testers wanted.** If you run this on anything other than an ATS1500, please open an issue and describe your panel and what did or did not work. Failures are as useful as successes: a report that pairing breaks on an x700 is worth more than silence. **Developers** may issue pull[](https://github.com/5nugg3r/aritech-ats-homey/pulls)requests as well. ---
