AD2PI

There are several ways to start using your AlarmDecoder with the Raspberry Pi. While you can use all of the AlarmDecoder products with the Raspberry Pi, the AD2PI was specifically designed to interface with it directly. If you're attempting to connect an AD2USB or an AD2SERIAL please follow the standard Linux instructions here.

There are a couple of steps involved with getting your AD2PI and Raspberry Pi talking to each other. We've done all the initial footwork and highly recommend downloading the modified Raspbian image below and flashing it to a 8g uSD disk or larger using a simple too such as Etcher or Rufus or following the instructions as described here. If you intend to go with another distribution, or just want to do it yourself, then follow the instructions here to start using your device.

AD2PI Bundle

API

Official Raspbian Image

Changes from Raspbian

Disabled serial console so that the device can use it.
Installed ser2sock to expose the AlarmDecoder on your network.
Installed the AlarmDecoder Python library.
Installed and configured the AlarmDecoder Webapp Instructions.
And much much more. See the PiBakery recipe for more details.

Manual Configuration

Flash the SD card with your choice of OS as described here.
- Flashing tools quick pick
  - Etcher https://www.balena.io/etcher/
  - Rufus https://rufus.ie/
Boot up the Raspberry Pi.
Remove the following entries from /boot/cmdline.txt:
- console=ttyAMA0,115200
- kgdboc=ttyAMA0,115200
Remove the following line from /etc/inittab:
- T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyAMA0 115200 vt100
Sync and halt your Raspberry Pi.
Attach the AD2PI.
Boot it up again.
- At this point you should be able to communicate with the device at /dev/ttyAMA0.
Install any optional software (ser2sock, Python library, etc.)
- Add dev package needed for compiling ser2sock
  - sudo apt-get install openssl-dev
- The AlarmDecoder WEB App install instructions are here
  - https://github.com/nutechsoftware/alarmdecoder-webapp
