Paradox alarm and HA

[R4m80]

To those that have a Paradox alarm system integrated with HA, which model do you have and which HA integration do you use? Also, do you use the IP150 or IP150S and which firmware do you run on the IP module? And would you recommend going this way?

I'm considering upgrading to a Paradox alarm to get it integrated into HA and to use all my current wired PIRs and door/windows sensors for automations instead of adding new wireless sensors where I already have wired sensors. I currently have Wyze PIRs and door sensors setup in HA, but for the cost of adding more sensors, I might as well upgrade to the Paradox alarm and use the existing alarm hardware.

Thanx for the reply.

I have a Parabox SP6000 alarm system. I decided not to go the IP150 route due to the uncertainty of this working. I found a sketch for the ESP8266 that I modified and cleaned up and made it compatible with MQTT Alarm Panel in HA. Installed it onto a D1 Mini, connected it to the serial port on the alarm board and voila. Been running this since October 2018.
