pai: MG6250 (unsupported): Serial over Telnet - Timeout while connecting to panel

Hi,

First of all, thank you for taking the time to share ParadoxAlarmInterface!

I’m trying to connect my alarm (Using the Home Assistant addon) but I didn’t managed to solve the following issue.

Alarm system

I have a MG6250 connected in serial with an ESP32 using a LM2596 for voltage regulation as described in the wiki.

[Alarm]      [Voltage regulation]        [ESP32]
RX ----------------------------------------> TX
TX ----------------------------------------> RX
- ---------> - IN          - OUT ----------> GND (Using micro USB input)
+ ---------> + IN          + OUT ----------> +   (Using micro USB input)

Question

ESP32 is connected to Wifi correctly and I’m able to ping / telnet into it.

If instead of connecting the USB input of the ESP 32 to the voltage regulator, I connect it to my PC, I’m able to see the Home Assistant instance connecting to it.

Error

I’ve tried modifying MAX_SRV_CLIENTS to 3 from the .ino sketch without success.

Do you have any idea or suggestion on how I can solve this issue?

Thank you for any help you might provide.

EDIT: I don’t own an IP150 so AFAIK I’m not able to use Babyware to get any kind of password
