Request for Elk M1 help please

I am trying to get HE to connect with my Elk M1 security panel. To this effort, I made contact with a fellow who managed to get it working in Smarthings. His approach was using a NodeMcu ESP8266 and his FW to get a link established to the Elk. Then he wrote a ST driver to connect with the NodeMcu. I contacted him about porting all this to HE. He indicated it shouldn't be a problem to do, but he needs to get paid for his efforts. We agreed, and I paid him to do it.
1st he tweaked his NodeMcu bin file. I aquired a NodeMcu and flashed his bin. I can see zones and outputs, and state changes, even arm/disarm via it's web interface. So that is all working.
Next he tweaked his ST driver originally for a Visonic alarm. It is not working, and he admits not knowing much about HE to understand what is wrong with it.
At this point I have not had contact with him, and I suspect he has bailed out on me to get his driver working. I am not a coder, which is why I was willing to pay him to do this for me.
So right now I am stuck with a functioning NodeMcu bridge to Elk, but no way to get this data to HE.
Can someone take a look at this and see if there are some things you see that could be wrong? Using the driver I get this in the log.....

Please edit your post and highlight all of the source code, then click the Preformatted Text menu button. This will allow others to copy and paste your code much more easily.

Thanks for the heads up. I did the edit.

Do you have source code for the Child Device Drivers?

I don't have that. The only other thing I have is the ESP8266 bin file.
Could a Child device driver be found somewhere on ST site? I can look if you can give me a hint what I would look for. I thought this driver I posted would already have the child driver built into it.

Here’s the motion driver

And the Open/Closed Driver

And the Switch device

That's great. Do these drivers need to be included inside the Alarm bridge driver I listed? I cannot generate a list of my Elk devices until HE can see them to begin with.
Again, not being a coder, I hope this is not a stupid question.

You need to add each of them as a new driver. You cannot embed one driver inside another. These drivers are used by the main Elk driver to create separate child devices. For example, each zone will get its own contact sensor device.

So I added all 3 drivers. I changed "smartthings" to "Hubitat" before adding them to HE.
I opened my device "Elk Bridge" and clicked "Refresh" button, then clicked "Zone Test Function". The logs show same errors as before. So HE still not seeing my ESP8266 data. Am I supposed to create a virtual device for each of these drivers as well?....

Do not edit the metadata of these child devices. If you look through the parent elk driver, you will find calls to addChild devices. The names much match exactly.

Do not manually add virtual devices for these child devices. The parent creates them.

Ok, I understand. I changed the name back to smartthings. There was only 1 instance in the drivers I changed originally.

I still get the errors as I showed before. It does seem that my Alarm Panel Bridge driver is not connecting to the ESP8266. At least that is what I guess from the HE logs.

Using Termite, I can see that the ESP8266 is talking away to my Elk panel fine. Just nothing happening with HE.

What do you think?

This is a code error related to cresting a child device...

No signature of method: dev1539137171333213689933.addChildDevice() is applicable for argument types: (java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.Long, java.util.LinkedHashMap) values: [Hubitat, Motion Detector, alarmchildzonetest, 1, [name:alarm zone test device, ...]]

Yes, I see. Unfortunately I have no idea why.

But then this error tells me that HE is being refused to connect with the ESP8266......

dev:4662018-10-10 11:38:05.354:errorjava.net.ConnectException: Connection refused (Connection refused) (configure)

dev:4662018-10-10 11:38:05.262:debuguri /config?ip_for_st=192.168.122.145&port_for_st=39501

Hubitat implements the API calls to add a child device slightly differently than SmartThings. I have included a modified version of your Elk "Alarm Panel Bridge" Driver below that "should" fix the addChildDevice errors. I have not tested these changes whatsoever.

I am afraid that I am not going to be able to help much with communication errors between the Elk Driver and the ESP8266.

Since you paid someone to help port this code, I believe you should go back to that developer and ask for assistance. They should be able to work with you to address each of the issues you run into.

Thank you so much for your help. I will show this to him and let him sort it out from there.

Anycase, you've been a great help.

I want to get a few facts straight first as I don't feel this is fair at all...

I was paid (a gesture donation rather than anywhere near what it took in development time and I did say this, through a discussion) to develop a new feature for an integration I have already developed, which was to allow control of outputs for this alarm. I have completed this, and we have tested it together.

I also said I would try and help him get set up in Hubitat (transfer from SmartThings), but this was done as a separate thing where I have no experience (I'm already doing an integration with a product I don't own, and now I'm doing that integration on a platform I don't have!).

Anyway I asked a question here about one of the issues I was facing, and then ran out of time and went quiet for about 6 days as work went crazy. I'd hardly say I have abandoned the project! But will have a look this maybe over the weekend and bear in mind these alternative handlers. Will come back if I have any dramas with them. Thanks also from me!

Just want to give you a quick status update.

The three Child Device Drivers are ones that I found in the ST Public GitHub repo and Eric’s repo. No code changes for any of these. I have not tested these on Hubitat. These seemed to match the Child Drivers specified in the parent’s addChildDevice calls.

As for the Parent Elk Alarm Panel Bridge, my only tweak was for the lines that add Child devices to conform with Hubitat’s implementation. Again, not tested on Hubitat.

@ogiewon Im just doing some debugging about what might be going on here... Does Hubitat have any default device drivers? I cant seem to find anything on Github or this forum with them, that I can easily access.... Otherwise I guess I take the ST ones and modify them to a namespace that is accessible....?
Thanks

I assume you mean built-in virtual device drivers? If so, yes. Here is the list as of firmware 1.1.5.

Hey, just to pile on, if you can get this working I'll also send you a gratitude donation for the effort! As you said, it can't possible pay for coding time for an experienced developer, but I'll do my part :slight_smile:
