    Yes to test go to Configuration -> Integrations -> MQTT "Configure" Listen to topic: paradox/states/zones/FRONT_DOOR/bypassed And publish: paradox/control/zones/FRONT_DOOR with payload bypass Then you should see the topic change to true and on your alarm panel you should see the zone bypassed

    The mqtt names and binary sensors names are different. To check your paradox zone names, go to Configuration -> Devices -> Search Paradox Then on your device page all your sensors will be there, click on the "MQTT Info": And then get the zone name. On that my kitchen door is "Kombuis_Deur"...
