CID: User ID

[CudaNet]

Amazing project and I'm thankful that this exists. Parts ordered which allowed me to quickly read through all the threads on HA. I'm not planning on using Home Assistant. Using V20p, have 2 expanders (4219's), Envisalink (monitoring), 5881 and 2 6290 pads. I was previously using Alarm Decoder but something unfortunate must have happened as they no longer produce their hardware and the firmware hasn't been updated in years. Sad.

Question:
I'm planning on using MQTT and was curious if I missed anything in discussions, HA forum etc. regarding publishing a CID User ID when specific events occur (Arm/Disarm, Bypass etc.). I use this in sync with my smart locks for disarm, arm and duress. Worked perfect with AD so hoping this is available or can be made available. I can extrapolate this from the Envisalink TPI but would prefer a single solution rather than build an orchestration.

Many thanks ..

All arming cid codes and events that the panel sends are sent in the LRR msg field.

Thank you (again). Much appreciated. Looks as if I need to isolate the user or zone within the string. Can't wait to get this up and running.

    //publishes lrr status messages
    if ((vista.cbuf[0] == 0xf9 && vista.cbuf[3] == 0x58 && vista.newCmd) || firstRun) { //we show all lrr messages with type 58
      int c, q, z;
      c = vista.statusFlags.lrr.code;
      q = vista.statusFlags.lrr.qual;
      z = vista.statusFlags.lrr.zone;

      std::string qual;

      if (c < 400)
        qual = (q == 3) ? " Cleared" : "";
      else if (c == 570)
        qual = (q == 1) ? " Active" : " Cleared";
      else
        qual = (q == 1) ? " Restored" : "";
      if (c) {
        String lrrString = String(statusText(c));

        char uflag = lrrString[0];
        std::string uf = "user";
        if (uflag == 'Z')
          uf = "zone";
        sprintf(msg, "%d: %s %s %d%s", c, & lrrString[1], uf.c_str(), z, qual.c_str());
        mqttPublish(mqttLrrTopic, msg);
      }

FYI, don't use the arduino *.ino mqtt examples as they are not compatible with the current version of the vista library. I have not updated those to work with them. The current iteration is designed to work with the esphome application which does support MQTT just fine.
