Manual

1. Download the files in this repository and place it in some directory

git clone https://github.com/ParadoxAlarmInterface/pai.git

2. Copy config/pai.conf.example to /etc/pai/pai.conf and edit it to match your setup. The file uses Python syntax.

mkdir -p /etc/pai
cp config/pai.conf.example /etc/pai/pai.conf
edit /etc/pai/pai.conf as needed
./run.sh

Alternatively see Configuration section for supported file locations.

3. Install the python 3.6 and its requirements.

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

If some requirement fail to install, this may not be critical.

• gi, pygobject and pydbus are only required when using Signal
• Pushbullet.py and ws4py are only required when using Pushbullet
• chump is only required when using Pushover
• paho_mqtt is only required for MQTT support
• pyserial is only required when connecting to the panel directly through the serial port or using a GSM modem.

4. Run

./run.sh

If something goes wrong, you can edit the configuration file to increase the debug level. You can also run PAI with an alternative config by executing:

./run.sh -c pai.conf

and you can override a single variable using:

VAR_NAME=x ./run.sh

Autostart on system boot using systemd

Download pai.service and put it to /etc/systemd/system/pai.service

Update paths in pai.service

Enable service and start

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable pai.service
systemctl start pai.service
