Configuration Options

See config.schema.json for full configuration options.

Auto-Discovery

The auto-discovery feature scans your network for Envisalink devices:

1. Enable with enableAutoDiscovery: true
2. Omit host to use auto-discovery exclusively
3. First discovered device will be used
4. Manual host configuration takes precedence

Advanced Features

Home vs. Night Arm Modes

• Home: Arms in stay mode with entry delay
• Night: Arms in stay mode with no entry delay (instant alarm)

Non-Sequential Zones

For systems with gaps in zone numbering:

{
  "zones": [
    {
      "name": "Front Door",
      "type": "door",
      "partition": 1,
      "zoneNumber": 1
    },
    {
      "name": "Garage Door",
      "type": "door",
      "partition": 1,
      "zoneNumber": 5
    }
  ]
}

{
  "customCommands": [
    {
      "name": "System Test",
      "command": "071*600004"
    }
  ]
}

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. Connection Problems

   • Only one socket connection allowed at a time
   • Use wired connections when possible
   • Set static IP for Envisalink
   • Verify password is correct

   {
     "platforms": [
       {
         "platform": "Envisalink",
         "enableVerboseLogging": true
       }
     ]
   }
