Ip150 Firmware Update

by

Hello Tertius, First of all, thank you for your work and developing this software. After managing to configure the MQTT server this is what I am getting when trying to connect to my control panel. Yep, it was a big mistake buying this module. My goal is DIY home automation for fun and to learn new things. I have this Paradox MG5000 from 2009, it cost a lot back then, I recently made some restorations to my house and I thought I should upgrade my alarm system with a new one but I saw on forums that I can add this wonderful IP150 module and even have integrations with other software. I bought it, thought this would be easy: connect the module, set ip, upgrade the firmware of the control panel because it has the original fw from 2009, add it to some HA hub and move to other project, NOT!

Paradox information is not really easy available on the internet, the manuals are outdated, and top of all, when I asked them on email to share some information because my IP150 is nothing like the manuals they supplied ( I was not even aware at that moment that this 4.10 fw is the problem) they responded with the following text. Unfortunately, Due to an agreement with our distributor network, The Paradox distributor Support will only assist distributor with issues. We do not support end user or installer when they encounter difficulties with their alarm system.

Sep 06, 2017  The IP150 firmware can be upgraded using In Field upgrading software to upgrade to newer version. Fosse - sam wasson.epub. Simply do the upgrade over network. Once the IP exploring tools is working and detecting module.

The assistance you need would be better provided to you by a qualified alarm technician who would be able to determine your requirement. I suggest that you contact your local installer in your area if you don’t have a local installer.

I am including a link to our distributor network. Simply contact the distributor nearest you, and ask them to refer an alarm company to you who is familiar with Paradox products. Are you kidding me?

I payed a lot for their alarm system, I even bought another 100$ module and planned to buy others and they are sending me off to the distributors/installers which charge a lot and have no clue about IP150. I've spent a lot of time figuring out what is happening: I can’t do anything from the web interface, I can upgrade the control panel fw with the In-Field software and panel serial number but from Babyware I can’t connect locally via serial number or IP, only if I use their DNS account which I have to pay on the Insite Gold app so no chance for integration with nothing yet, all solutions available were based on the old IP150 web interface which is now gone. TL:DR Anyway I am writing this on all threads that I find to make others aware of this issue.

Ip150 Firmware Update

If you are buying the new IP150 you are paying 100$ + a monthly/yearly fee to have a remote on your phone and only on the phone. An outdated ugly remote actually, when people like Tertius made other app better than this one and he gets nothing, and we can't even use his app anymore. I tried to downgrade the IP150 firmware with various tricks I found on the web, like trying to flash it after reset of the control panel, reset of the module itself etc. And all I got is another trouble on the control panel which I can't get rid off, IP Unregistered. Yep, it was a big mistake buying this module. My goal is DIY home automation for fun and to learn new things.
