MG6250 serial encrypted?

[lpaolini]

Alarm system

MG6250 v1.70

Environment

Docker on RPi

Git branch

master

Question

Panel type and firmware versions are correctly detected, but then PAI restarts.
Is it possible that the serial channel is encrypted with this panel / firmware version, just like EVO192 v7.70?

Or maybe this panel is not supported (yet)...
@jpbarraca Any ideas?

[yozik04]

Unfortunately it is not supported. Here is https://github.com/ParadoxAlarmInterface/pai/wiki/Compatibility list.

[lpaolini]

When you say "not supported", do you mean that it's not in the list of the supported panels but might work with minimal effort (like the panel type is unknown to PAI and it refuses to talk to it) or do you already know it cannot be supported because of a harder issue to solve? I'm fully available to run tests on your behalf to see if it can be supported with minor effort.

[yozik04]

It is completely different protocol.

[lpaolini]

Too bad, it's a very nice panel.

[lpaolini]

I see. Do you think it's a relatively easy fix or something harder, like a different protocol?
