Paradox Spectra 1738 Serial to MQTT

This Python script was made to run on Raspberry Pi B+ connected to the serial port of the Paradox Spectra 1738 alarm panel.

Running with docker

• Set the IP address or hostname of your MQTT broker in the file config.yaml
• Build the image
  docker build -t paradox2mqtt .
• Run the container
  docker run -d --device /dev/ttyAMA0:/dev/ttyAMA0 --restart=unless-stopped paradox2mqtt

config.yaml can be mounted to /usr/src/app/config.yaml at the run command (-v $(pwd)/config.yaml:/usr/src/app/config.yaml) to apply a modified configuration without rebuilding the image.
