@lpaolini if you’re unable to get a code - let me know, I’ll purchase one for you 😃

Well, all I can say is - success! Connecting PAI ESP8266 <-> PCS Port IP150 <-> Panel – works like a charm.

Connection is the same - TX to TX, RX to RX (as per the connector diagram in PAI documentation)

All looks good. Now onto testing if HA detects zone changes… (it does!)

Feel free to add 7.70 firmware support (after unlock code) to the project description 😃 And also - the IP150 PCS compatibility (so people can keep IP150 and have PAI at the same time).
