ParadoxRs232toMqtt

This project uses a ESP32 to read the events of the serial bus on Paradox alarm systems and send them to an MQTT server

Making a connection

Connect the devices together:

• Alarm system serial to ESP32 through RX2/TX2
  

settings

The config.json file contains all settings that can be eddited by the user. After connecting to wifi, config can be changed using http://ipaddress

The 37 byte message is broken down into a json message with "Event Group" and "Sub-group", and one more dummy attribute which is the zone/partition label.
