So I started my adventure after getting a 20 day Vivint home security demo equipment and watching the installer pair everything. I realized that after everything was installed there was not much to customize, enter OpehHAB. The installers never uninstalled the old gear which is all zwave, with some devices that may be propitiatory to Vivint. (If they ever show up I’ll haply hand them the old gear.) Meantime some coworkers handed me some of their old equipment, most of which pares to a 2gig control panel (2gig-cp21-345e).
It has zwave and some non-zwave sensors. I have setup the server and started customizing, but am waiting for my zwave stick.
Now for the noob questions if I pair the equipment to the control panel, can I still control them and get readings via my soon to arrive zwave stick? If not, is there much use for the control panel? Is there anyone with experience paring to the control panel? There is not much I have found on google. Thanks for any advice.
I’ll try and post my results once I’ve made progress.As an F.Y.I.: my familiarity with OpenHAB is currently pretty low but feel free to get technical. Well I’m going full geek on this. Running ESX on a latitude laptop that lost its monitor.
I purchased a usb3 card for it which i am using as a passthrough pci device to my vm. I’m also running a dyi cctv dvr on the same vm which connects via usb dongle to several BNC security cams. I’m about half way done putting the hardware together and working out the bugs I’ve inflicted on myself.
I’ll post more when i reach another milestone. I hope to start playing with that 2gig panel after the hardware is running smoothly. I’ve been doing some research on this, and noticed google picked up this thread when searching for OpenHAB and 2GIG panels, so I’ll try to post relevant info to that search. I may be able to get into my Vivint Sky Panel (v-mp2-345) via SSH vulnerability posted: In case that thread disappears here are the relevant bits: This exploit applies to the Vivint SKY control panel Quote Originally Posted by Anonymous 'There’s a port that is serving a maintenance website with no credentials.

I exfilled the whole filesystem and have been poking through it - looks like all the useful information is in a few sqlite tables, it’s possible to do, well, just about everything from this access, as you could imagine' I’v got most stuff working via my zwave stick but my ultmate goal is to figure out how to get root on the 2GIG (or Vivint) paneI and find a way to tie it into OpenHAB. I have a full time Job and family so progress is slow. It may be a month before I post again, but if anyone has tidbits please feel free to add them to this thread. Ok final update for the Vivint Sky Control Panel for this thread. Ill post another for the 2GIG after I poke around on it.

I’ll also start a new thread for all of the Vivint and 2GIG equipment that I’ve taken over and moved to my OpehHAB box. The Vivint Control panel I’m convinced would integrate into OpenHAB quite well but for one final hurtle. Maybe someone can take it from here and share.
To get into my Vivint Sky Panel I had to reset using this thread:. Then you can log in with the default installer code 2203 and migrate to the installer toolbox, network settings, advanced.
Then toggle on “use ethernet port for troubleshooting”. then you can use a free portscan utility to find the open ports, the highest one I found is running a https maintenance website that is protected by a login. (Good luck) If this post is to be believed (first part of the post):!!!-Vivint-Honeywell-2GIG-ADT-panels-hacked-compromised?p=288#post288 Then that portal probably didn’t have a password on some older version of the firmware, but allowed you to enable ssh and thus start really trying to integrate into external systems like OpenHAB. My 2GIG Panel does not have a network interface and is too old to use the one from the Vivint panel However I expect it to play nicer once I find a way to interface updates to come. Hi Keith, so this is what i have figured out so far for integration. Both my 2gig and vivant control panels have 1 or 2 alarm out contacts on the back of the panel. You should be able to connect those to a openhab sensor without too much problems.
Unfortunately I still don’t know how to get detailed info from the panel. Maybe you could play around with the rules on your 2gig to produce different alarm patterns? If you get anywhere with it post your results here. Email me if you get stuck, I’ll dig my 2gig back out and and see what it can do. Interesting read so far completely over my head, but maybe after i read everything a couple hundred time, I’ll understand more. I got sucked into a 5 year contract with vivint, which expires in 2020 because i didn’t want to mess around with setting up stuff myself, and the pay as you go for the equipment was the ONLY way i could get a decent system installed. I currently have: doorbell camera old style ip camera with ethernet port should be easier to setup 1 motion sensor an element thermostat several open/close sensors (3 windows and two doors) Smoke dectector/heat sensor/flood sensor C02 dectector a crapton of z-wave devices that i added myself right now, i’ve read an article about using an RF sensor to decode the door/window sensors.

And I imagine you could do the same thing with the motion dectector. It makes me wonder if you could use a broadlink to pick up the RF signals, which would be nice, because the remote i use to control my portable air condition is radio frequency and it would be nice to connect that to OH The thing that really stumped me was the Vivint doorbell camera, i read you’re initial post but am a little confused about exactly how to convert to my own wifi settings you mention something about using automatic pairing but i can’t find that specific post I’m glad i found this post tho.
Q: Hello I found your list of with my Vivint Sky Panel. Once I buy them how do I go about adding them to my Sky Panel? What type of functionality will I get from it? A: Hello, so I have listed the steps in order to add Z-Wave Devices to your Vivint Sky Panel below. Its DIY friendly and you shouldn't run into too many issues. Just keep in mind if you are having issues pairing its commonly range or the device needs to be factory reset.
First try moving device or panel closer to each other 1-2 feet for initial pair and then you can move it back to its home location. If that doesn't work please read this write up on. This is for newer Sky Control Users (see below if you have an older system) 1. Go to your SkyControl panel and tap the menu button in the bottom right corner (three horizontal lines) 2. Tap 'Settings' 3. New super mario bros 3 nds rom download.
Enter your master code 4. Tap 'Installer Toolbox' 5. Enter your installer code. If you are not sure what your code is or you are having problems getting into the installer toolbox contact your installer or vivint directly. 6. Tap 'Z-Wave' 7. Tap 'Add Node' 8. At this point, go to your light switch or z-wave device and make sure it’s plugged in and powered where you want it. If over 25 feet from panel you may need to unscrew panel from wall and pair closer for initial pair. Then activate your Z-Wave device (typically turning on a light switch or pressing the pair button on the back of a door lock).
9. Return to your panel and make sure that your screen is reading the information for the module you just added. The panel should show 'Device successfully added.' Tap 'Back' and press the Home button. If it’s not there, return to your device and repeat step eight. It can take two-three minutes for your touchscreen panel to download all the device settings and for the device to be fully functional.
For Go!Control Users: 1. Go to your touchscreen panel 2. Choose Services 3.
Choose the wrench icon 4. Enter your installer code. If you are not sure what your code is or you are having problems getting into the installer toolbox contact your installer or vivint directly. Select 'Add Device' 6. At this point, go to your light switch or z-wave device and make sure it’s plugged in and powered where you want it. If over 25 feet from panel you may need to unscrew panel from wall and pair closer for initial pair. Then activate your Z-Wave device (typically turning on a light switch or pressing the pair button on the back of a door lock).
